In the short clip, Patrick can be seen grappling with his age, annoying his coworkers in the newsroom and looking back on some of his favourite bits from the season.
At the end of the hilarious snippet, the AI voice over reads: 'Join Paddy this Friday night for the last Late Late of the season before he finally tells the social media team to f*** off.'
It's been a tough season for Kielty, who paid a heartbreaking tribute to his mother on the Late Late following her passing earlier this year.

Mary Kielty, whose husband Jack was shot dead by the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) in 1988, died peacefully at home in Dundrum, Co Down, on Saturday aged 84.
Opening this year's St Patrick's Day special, a visibly emotional Patrick said his beloved mum 'never missed a Late Late Show' in 50 years, and dedicated this week's show to her.
He said: 'When you're called Patrick, Saint Patrick's Day is always special, and the person that I have to thank for that, and so much more is mum.

'Sadly, we lost her last weekend and I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took care of her and took care of our family this week.
'My mum watched this show religiously and she loved it so much, that she still kept watching even after I got the gig.'
The Late Late Show host then teared up as he added: 'In over 50 years, Mary never missed a Late Late show, and there was no way she'd want me to miss this one for her tonight.
'And so I couldn't be prouder to stand here and say, This one's for you, Mary.'
The season finale of the Late Late Show will take place on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player this Friday (May 9) at 9.35pm.

Social media users 'disappointed' after learning of quirky way to eat beloved sweet
We've all squished our Starburst sweets together to form different flavours, but have you ever considered doing it with a Skittle sweet? A social media user has gone viral for showing off the creative way they have turned their Skittle sweets into 'burgers,' leaving followers and fellow social media users mind-blown. The viral moment was shared via TikTok, with the user jandelrblx95 sharing pictures of the 'skittle burgers.'

Pic: jandelrblx95/ TikTok 'Ur [your] not real if u [you] never squished skittles to make burgers,' they shared alongside the pictures which saw the round sweets flattened out and pressed together to form a burger complete with the bun, cheese, lettuce and burger patty. The TikTok has amassed 1.9m likes and more than 17,500 comments with many expressing their disappointment in themselves for never being so creative. 'I have clearly not been eating skittles to their full potential,' one wrote, while another added: 'I'm so disappointed in myself.'

'Girl, if 9% of the comments are saying the opposite then that clearly means not everyone done that as kids,' someone hit back.

Zaconey and Coke was a staple in pubs and clubs many years ago, particularly among college students before its discontinuation in 2016. While bottles of the 'God's nectar' were knocking about until 2019, there are, unfortunately, only a finite number of bottles left; with TikToker Liam Mackessy going on a quest to try and find a bottle of the brown stuff. With some commenting on Liam's post revealing they had a small drop left that they were saving, the TikTokker later discovered that Hennessy's Bar in Tralee bought a number of bottles before the drink was discontinued, and are still serving the drink alongside Linnane's Bar.

Novelist Frederick Forsyth dies, aged 86
Frederick Forsyth, the author of The Day of The Jackal, has died at the age of 86 after a brief illness, his literary agents Curtis Brown said. The best-selling author was surrounded by his family as he died at home on Monday morning, Curtis Brown added. Jonathan Lloyd, his agent, said: "We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers. Frederick Forsyth on The Late Late Show "Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life - In My Own Words, to be released later this year on BBC1 - and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived. "After serving as one of the youngest ever RAF pilots, he turned to journalism, using his gift for languages in German, French and Russian to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra. "Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a secret service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel, The Day of the Jackal (1972), and instantly became a global bestselling author. "He went on to write more than 25 books (many of which were made into films) that have sold over 75 million copies. "He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, all of us at Curtis Brown and of course his millions of fans around the world - though his books will of course live on forever."
