The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan is a British late-night chat show presented by comedian Mo Gilligan, that first aired on Channel 4 on 19 July 2019. Similar to other late night chat shows, the programme includes a house band, live audience and comedy sketches as well as interviews with celebrities and other guests.[1] The show took inspiration from the 1990s entertainment show TFI Friday.[2]

In June 2020, Channel 4 renewed the show for a second series in 2021.[3] In December 2023, Channel 4 cancelled the show and stated that the Christmas special would be its last episode.
