Just one more sleep until it's Toy Show time!
Not living in Ireland? Don't worry, you can still watch The Late Late Toy Show live on the RTÉ Player. And if for any reason you miss it on Friday, you can catch up on-demand.
The Late Late Toy Show, one of the biggest TV events of the year, will be available for families around the world to watch on RTÉ Player on Friday 24 November at 9:35pm Irish time.
Deaf presenters Sarah-Jane O'Regan and Jason Maguire will present the Toy Show through ISL, working with hearing interpreters Amanda Coogan and Ciara Grant, on the RTÉ News Channel and RTÉ Player.
This unique cultural phenomenon, which first aired on RTÉ in the early 1970s, is a stand-out childhood highlight for generations of Irish people and continues to attract record audiences every year.
It started as a half-hour slot at the end of The Late Late Show, designed to give parents an idea of what toys were in the shops for Christmas while their children were asleep. It soon became a one-night show in its own right, complete with children toy-testers and performers.
It was initially presented by Gay Byrne until Pat Kenny took over in 1999 and then Ryan Tubridy in 2009. This year will mark new host Patrick Kielty's first Toy Show, with the presenter saying he knows it's "a big, big deal".
For Irish families living abroad, this much-loved tradition can be passed on to the next generation with The Late Late Toy Show being available to watch live and on-demand on the RTÉ Player.
Tune in wherever you are!
