It’s like he’s never been away.
Hopefully Ryan Tubridy and The Late Late Show’s producers are starting as they mean to go on, as Friday night’s first show of the season is an absolute cracker.
Granted, 87% of the population will be huddled together in Stradbally over a single tin of beans and six-pack of Dutch Gold, but for anyone staying on the couch tonight this is going to be good.
Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy
The two stars of Anthropoid sit down with Ryan Tubridy to talk about being two of the biggest Irish stars on the planet. Dornan, of course, has had a stellar couple of years between The Fall and Fifty Shades of Grey while Murphy has been tearing it up as Thomas Shelby on Peaky Blinders.
Michael Conlan
He should be sitting down talking about his Olympic medal, but the events in Rio have left a sour taste in the mouth for fans of Irish boxing.
Conlan will be chatting about that scandalous points decision and his plans outside of the amateur scene.
Shane Ross
The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport will have plenty to say about the ticketing scandal that rocked Irish sport during the Rio games, including (we hope) his meeting with Pat Hickey before the former presidency of the OCI’s arrest in the Brazilian city.
Ross will also address this week’s ruling about Apple’s tax affairs, and the government’s decision to appeal the EU Commision’s €13bn ruling.
Ireland’s medalists
Gary and Paul O’Donovan and Annalise Murphy will chat about their successes in Rio.
Al Porter
Fresh from his success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Tallaght comic will talk about his career so far.
