Is the show's name a joke? It's not broadcast late at night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 13:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Well I would presume that in 1962 9pm WAS in fact considered late night viewing.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.11.149 (talk) 02:14, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Ppput the hooker in the clossset —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.228.3 (talk) 10:31, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Ummmm, 'The Tonight Show' has been broadcast by NBC since 1954 in the United States. Isn't THAT the longest running chat show in the world?
Those sources are bogus. NBC has broadcast The Tonight Show since 1954. Same broadcaster. Even if you were to play the "uninterrupted" card and claim the "Tonight: America After Dark" era to be a different programme (as some have), you still have The Tonight Show in place since about 1957. 68.146.71.145 (talk) 17:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
The show underwent some format changes over its run, but aside from a brief move to a more news-oriented format in 1957, it has always been a talk show. Even if you just count it from its return to a talk show style format in 1957, it would still be older than The Late Late Show. This isn't meant as a slight against The Late Late Shows very impressive run, but the facts are clearly in favor of The Tonight Show being the longest running talk show on television. Its style and format have changed, but since 1957, those changes did not break away from the overall talk show format. I am in favor of changing the opening paragraph to read 'second-longest running talk show'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrono85 (talk • contribs) 02:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi I know its been a while since this was brought up but we have two wiki pages each saying that their show is the longest running show. I'm Irish and believe me I would love to take any record that says we are number 1 but even I can see a show that started in 1954 and is still ongoing is older than 1962. Unless anyone can prove otherwise I'm going to change the opener to say second longest running show. I really don't want to start an edit war going here so if I am wrong please let me know why.

When I search late late, this show does not come up first. Why is this?!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.76.67.139 (talk) 03:36, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Do we base redirects like the one at Late Late Show on how old a given program is, or on how much traffic for a given article has. Because if it's the latter, redirecting to an old Irish talk show doesn't make much sense. LHM 17:48, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
This article attempts to explain to readers that the Irish Late Late Show existed before the American Late Late Show. This good faith effort at explanation and disambiguation is worthwhile and should not be deleted without proper consideration, but taking the time and effort finding the proper place for this necessary explanatory text is a lot more difficult than casually and inconsiderately deleting the work of other editors. It is far far too easy for deletionists to take the lazy option. Out of sight is out of mind, deleted text does not get improved or fixed, so I'm adding this note so that maybe someone else might fix it, or at least editors will be aware of this next time there is any confusing over the Irish or American Late Late Show. -- 109.76.13.212 (talk) 15:34, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

– Is the Irish show really more notable than the American one? I don't think so. Plus the American one should be disambiguated by its nationality, rather than its channel. Unreal7 (talk) 21:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:The Late Late Show (U.S. TV series) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:45, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Suggested Typo correction
The idea for the show was developed by RTE producer Tom McGrath, after he had seen the The Tonight Show while working for a Canadian TV station.[19] He proposed it to Gay Bryne, who "because" the show's first presenter.
Should be: Gay Byrne, who "became" the show's first presenter.

This says in the “hosts” tab that Tubridy is currently hosting the show, but lists his age at 47. Other sources say he was born May 28, 1973 making him 48, almost 49. 2601:83:8100:7C60:F543:ECB5:F2EE:FCC1 (talk) 00:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
