TUBRIDY v NORTON: The line-ups for the Late Late Show and Graham Norton are here

Conor Heneghan

Graham is very hard to compete with this evening.

Staying in tonight? Here’s what’s on offer on the chat show circuit.

The Late Late Show

Bernard Lucas

Four months on from the tragic death of his wife Catríona last year, Bernard Lucas will talk to Ryan about the devastating impact of the loss of the first member of the Irish Coast Guard to lose their life during a rescue mission.

Catríona’s family will be in studio to pay tribute to her, while there will also be a tribute to the Irish Coast Guard and the RNLI, with Ryan hearing from members hailing from all around the country and some of the people who owe their lives to their tireless efforts.

Amanda Brunker

While you’re sitting down to a cup of tea of a Friday evening, former Miss Ireland Amanda Brunker will be getting botox live in studio as part of a discussion on the rise of cosmetic procedures in Ireland.

You heard us.

Brendan Courtney

The fashion designer and TV presenter will discuss the tough decision his family faced when it became clear that, following a stroke, his father Frank was suddenly no longer able to care for himself.

Brendan will be sharing his family’s story and shining a light on how few options there are for families facing a similar situation.

John Kenny and Mary McEvoy

The D’Unbelievables comedian and Glenroe actress will join Ryan as they get ready for their star turns in John B Keane’s The Successful TD at the Gaiety Theatre.

There will also be an appearance from some of the most outstanding minds from the BT Young Scientists’ Exhibition and music from…

Gosling and Stone are usually well up for a laugh and seem to get on great off camera so they should make for excellent guests.

Ben Affleck and Sienna Miller

Unlike La La Land, Ben Affleck’s Live by Night hasn’t been getting the greatest reception of late, so hopefully it doesn’t affect the mood of the star and director when he and his co-star Sienna Miller join Graham on the couch.

Word is they spent NINE hours filming sex scenes for the movie; a topic Graham will surely broach in an effort to create some awkward entertainment.
