Viewers took to social media to give their opinions with many focusing on Daniel O'Donnell and Rosie O'Donnell.
One person posted to X/Twitter: "Great to hear Rosie O'Donnell speak honestly & powerfully about the disturbing developments in the US right now - a brave & fearless woman who won't be cowed by a bully & his cronies. I see the haters are spouting their hate here too - generally anonymous &male"
Another said: "The combo of Rosie O’Donnell, Daniel O’Donnell & Róisín Conaty worked. Grand light-hearted banter. Wee Daniel has turned out to be a witty & warm man & makes a good chat show guest."
One person commented: "Daniel O'Donnell gets a lot of slack but he genuinely is a gent, who does enormous amounts of charity work, and brings so much joy to his fans. He's actually a legend & is so sound"
Another posted: "Rosie O’Donnell on the #LateLateShow: Praised Ireland, slammed MAGA, and had Daniel O’Donnell explain Room To Improve. Love her or hate her, she sparked debate!"
Another said: "Daniel O’Donnell surrounded by 3 comedians and the funniest of them all"
However, not all comments were positive as one person remarked: "I remember when the late late show was alright and sometimes worth waiting up for. You know when you thought a licence was worth it."
Another said: "If I was in the audience I would have walked out."
