Late Late Toy Show - Young Stars Applications

As published on RTE.ie:

Ryan Tubridy has confirmed that this year's Late Late Toy Show will take place on Friday, 25 November, with applications now invited from the young stars of 2022.

The host was joined on his RTÉ Radio 1 show on Monday morning by 12-year-old DJ Calum Kieran, one of the stars of last year's show alongside his five-year-old brother Jackson.

Announcing that applications are now open on the Late Late Show website, the presenter told listeners: "We are going to go large this year. I had a great chat about it last week, and it's going to be very, very special indeed."

Offering advice to young applicants, DJ Calum said: "Just be yourself. Take your time. Have fun. And practice and make sure your video is ok! Even just a half an hour, fifteen minutes a day - that's all it takes."

Having supported DJ Jenny Greene at her Iveagh Gardens show during the summer, Calum added that he is very busy with "communions, confirmations, even 21sts, weddings".

The Late Late Toy Show is an annual, special edition of the Irish chat show . Airing annually on RTÉ One near the end of November or early December to coincide with the holiday shopping season, the Toy Show showcases the popular toys of the year, as presented by the host and demonstrated by various children on-stage, along with appearances by celebrity guests.

The Late Late Show

Since its first presentation in 1975, the Toy Show has become a cultural institution in Ireland; it is often the most-watched programme of the year on Irish television (and its overall viewership has increased steadily in recent years), and being featured on the Toy Show has been said to have a major boost to sales of a product heading into the Christmas season.

Commercial time during the Toy Show is also prestigious for advertisers; in 2009, a 30-second spot cost €17,000; in comparison, a 30-second spot during the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final cost €9,750. Tickets to its taping are also difficult to come by; in one year, a single ticket was auctioned for €1,500.
