Kielty from Dundrum, Co Down is being paid €250,000 per the 30-show Late Late Show season after commencing the role last September.

Accumulated profits at the media firm owned by Late Late Show host, Patrick Kielty surged last year to £1.37m - before the comedian got the plum RTE presenter’s job.

The £234,649 profit for last year is almost a six fold increase on the £41,379 post tax profits recorded by Kielty’s Boxed Productions Ltd in the 12 months to the end of March 2022.During the firm’s buoyant 2023, the company’s cash funds increased from £338,424 to £461,661 while the amount owed to the firm by debtors rose from £787,636 to £1m.As the firm is a small company, it is not required to disclose annual revenues, directors’ pay or staff costs.

Following the May announcement, Kielty said he was “absolutely thrilled” to be its next host and said it was a “real honour” to follow in the footsteps of former hosts Gay Byrne, Pat Kenny and Ryan Tubridy.
