He promised that next week's episode would be "quite the humdinger" for fans. "And then the week after that we have a show some people might have heard of called The Toy Show. And, em, God help us all," he continued. The Late Late Toy Show 2019 will be airing on RTÉ One on Friday, November 29 He previously told RTÉ that he was "gobsmacked" by the demand for the tickets to this year's holiday extravaganza. "We are gobsmacked by the response this year, it just gets bigger and bigger, everyone seems to want to be there," he said. "I think it's also in response to how warm and kind and inclusive the show is (...) people want a piece of that pie and I don't blame them, it's the most wonderful cauldron to be in and the most wonderful time of the year. "If I wasn't doing what I do, I would also be among the 100,000 applicants for tickets because it's the best show in town." Tubridy said previously that although he can't reveal the theme for 2019's show just yet, he does think that it's going to be "the biggest one yet."
