Today is a very special edition of The Late Late Show v Graham Norton

Colm Boohig

JOE’s very own Carl Kinsella will be joining Ryan Tubridy.

Normally we’re impartial when it comes to reporting on The Late Late Show v Graham Norton, but this week our bias is very much with Tubs.

That’s because JOE’s very own Carl Kinsella will be on the Valentine’s special of The Late Late Show.

Safe to say, we can’t wait. Here are the lineups.

The Late Late Show

JOE.ie’s Carl Kinsella

Carl Kinsella

JOE.ie journalist Carl Kinsella makes his long overdue debut on The Late Late Show.

Our own Lothario Carl will be joining Ryan as part of a panel to discuss the perils of the modern day dating game.

No better man to lend such wisdom.

Bonnie Tyler

Long-time Carl Kinsella fan Bonnie Tyler will be on to perform a very special Valentine’s version of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’.

Chris de Burgh

Just when you thought that you couldn’t get any more classic 80s love songs, Chris de Burgh will only be there singing ‘Lady in Red’.

We’ve heard unconfirmed rumours that JOE.ie’s Carl Kinsella will be duetting with Chris here.

Or maybe we would just love if that happened.

Joining Carl will be Dublin footballer Philly McMahon to describe his amazing story of success to date.

Pippa O’Connor 

The model will be on to discuss parenthood and life with husband, Brian Ormond.

Valentine’s Day Story

There will be a special story of sacrifice and devotion from Ireland’s most loved-up couple.

Last year’s Valentine’s episode of The Late Late Show made for excellent viewing, so let’s hope that this year will be the same.

Carl should see to that anyway.

The legendary Geordie pair will be on Graham’s sofa. That’s three of the best hosts around all together; should be a cracker.

Rebel Wilson

The Australian comic actress joins Graham to talk about her new film, How to be Single.

We know, there’s a severe lack of Carl Kinsella on Graham’s sofa, but it should still be handy enough.
