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.

I was a single mum in £13k of debt – now I make £5k a month, work 3 hours a day on TikTok and started with 1k followers
CASHING IN I was a single mum in £13k of debt – now I make £5k a month, work 3 hours a day on TikTok and started with 1k followers ROXANNE Freeman was a single mother in £13,000 of debt, but is now earning up to £5,000 every month. Prior to her side hustle success, the 36-year-old lived beyond her means and used credit cards to support her family. 4 A single mother has opened up about clearing her debt thanks to her side hustle Credit: TikTok/@bbcnews 4 Roxanne Freeman owed £13,000, but now cashes in up to £5,000 a month through TikTok Credit: TikTok/@bbcnews Advertisement 4 She started out with just 1,000 followers Credit: TikTok/@roxannefreeman 4 Now she reviews plus-size clothing online for a living and is able to take her sons abroad Credit: TikTok/@roxannefreeman She even used one to put down a deposit on a caravan. But now, the Leicester-based parent has changed her fortune after she turned her hand to content creation, which sees her film and post reviews of plus-size clothing on TikTok. Advertisement Now, Roxanne earns commissions on her videos and cashes in up to £5,000 a month, which has enabled her to clear her debts. Opening up to the BBC, Roxanne shared all on her 'life-changing' social media stardom. Despite having just 1,000 followers in February 2024 when she started, now, Roxanne has amassed almost 50,000 loyal fans. Prior to switching to TikTok full-time, the mother was working as a Slimming World consultant. Advertisement She shared her first video reviving a TikTok Shop dress just last year, which saw her earn £200 commission in a week. Soon after, she was approached by other companies offering her samples to review. Roxanne explained: "In my second month I earned £600 and it just went up and up gradually. "I'm now earning up to £5,000 per month from just two to three hours' work a day, it's insane." I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy Now, Roxanne relies solely on her income from TikTok and while it varies slightly each month, she is now able to do more with her sons, aged six and 10. Advertisement She added: "I took the kids on holiday - my youngest boy had never been abroad before. "Sometimes imposter syndrome does sneak in a little bit and I worry, but you could lose any job tomorrow." Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. Roxanne's fans beam Social media users were overjoyed by Roxanne's success and eagerly raced to the comments to support her, with many desperate to do the same. One person said: 'So pleased for you, Roxanne!' I'm now earning up to £5,000 per month from just two to three hours' work a day, it's insane Roxanne Freeman Another added: 'So so so proud of you.' Advertisement A third commented: 'Good on you Roxanne.' Meanwhile, someone else gushed: 'I wish this was me. Fingers crossed one day.'

Don't want to fork out £90 on the viral M&S autumn coat? Shopper reveals where to snap up an alternative for half-price
All recommendations within this article are informed by expert editorial opinion. If you click on a link in this story we may earn affiliate revenue. The stylish jacket is currently on sale too, saving fashionistas a fortune TOP MARKS Don't want to fork out £90 on the viral M&S autumn coat? Shopper reveals where to snap up an alternative for half-price IT'S the viral autumn buy that has everyone in a chokehold - the Marks & Spencer's checked coat. The trending wardrobe staple has already been dubbed ''THE buy of autumn-winter'', taking the internet by storm. 3 The stylish M&S jacket has gone viral on TikTok, with many dubbing it 'THE buy of autumn-winter Credit: tiktok/@pollydunseath 3 But if you're not willing to spend £90 on the gorgeous buy, fear not, as a fashionista has found an alternative Credit: tiktok/@pollydunseath Advertisement 3 Unlike M&S' pricey version, this stunning jacket retails for just £34 at H&M Credit: H&M However, if you're not ready to fork out for the eye-watering £90 price tag, don't worry - you can still rock a similar look for more than half-price. According to thrifty fashionistas, a rival retailer is flogging their own version of the checked piece - and it's currently on sale too. Informing others about the epic find, one style lover, Polly, took to TikTok to show off the gorgeous jacket. Advertisement ''If you've been looking for the viral M&S autumn check jacket but you haven't been able to get your hands on one, then I might have just the thing for you. ''I've found a super similar one,'' she said in the video. The must-have autumn piece - Corduroy Collar Twill Jacket - is a near-identical alternative to the viral M&S coat and is available at H&M for just £34. Similarly to the popular M&S buy, this stunning H&M jacket boasts a chic corduroy collar in a deep burgundy-brown colour. Advertisement The jacket, which is lined, comes with a zip down the front, forward-facing shoulder seams and long sleeves - ideal for keeping toasty in the colder months ahead. Just like the pricey version, the affordable jacket also features two pockets at the front - however, the buy is shorter and doesn't have the gold button detailing. Polly, who posts under the username @pollydunseath, went on: ''This one is more of a cropped, boxy fit. 'Dunnes Stores have done it again', say fashion fan over new chic & effortless office co-ord for autumn ''It's still got the check with the corduroy collar - and it's half the price of the Marks & Spencer's one. ''I love it as a cute alternative,'' she said in the comments. Advertisement Cash-savvy fashionistas can get their hands on the jacket in sizes ranging from XXS to XL - however, the stock may vary from store to store. Why Everyone Is Loving M&S Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.' As the piece is sure to become a major hit amongst fashionistas, it's best to head to the local store - or H&M website - pronto to avoid disappointment. The clip, posted just a day ago, has already taken the internet by storm, amassing over 10k views. One M&S shopper commented: ''I found it but the smallest size in store was an 8 and it was MASSIVE on me. ''It looked really silly so I had to leave it behind, so gutted.'' Advertisement Another chimed in: ''Omgggg it's cute!!!'' ''Not so warm or for rain,'' someone else thought.
