Kevin bloody Keegan everybody!
Despite the presence of a living football legend on the Late Late, we reckon Graham might just shade it tonight.
We’ll let you judge for yourself after having a look at the respective line-ups below.
The Late Late Show
Kevin Keegan
20 years to the day when he lost it on live TV and went on THAT “I would love it” rant towards Alex Ferguson, the former European Footballer of the year and manager of Newcastle and England will be on our screens tonight.

Kevin will discuss the Hillsborough verdict delivered this week that absolved Liverpool supporters of blame in one of the worst tragedies ever to hit the world of sport.
He’ll also fill everyone in on what he’s been up to since he last appeared on The Late Late Show alongside an actual bear.
Nathan Carter
Continuing the Hillsborough theme, Liverpool native Nathan Carter will pay tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster with a performance of a song specially written to honour the 96.
The country star, pictured with fellow Late Late star Carl Kinsella below, will also be helping Ryan find the best amateur jiver in Ireland.
Senator Lynn Ruane
The newly-elected Senator will chat to Ryan about dropping out of school and becoming a single mum in her teens and how she subsequently transformed her life.
Joanna Donnelly
Joanna has warmed hearts by dropping delightfully subtle pop culture references into her weather reports on the RTE News, including a lovely tribute to the late Prince last week.

She’ll drop by the studio with her husband, fellow meteorologist Harm Luijkx, to explain why our weather is going crazy.
Panel on crime
With gangland feuds causing mayhem across parts of Dublin and criminals terrorising rural Ireland, a panel including crime correspondent Paul Williams, Clonmel solicitor Kieran Cleary and former assistant commissioner Martin Donnellan will debate if the Gardaí are properly equipped to deal with the spiralling violence in Ireland.

The Graham Norton Show
Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd
A duo who formed one of the greatest bromances in movie history in Knocked Up, Rogen and Rudd recently worked together alongside a string of familiar faces in the animated flick, Sausage Party, due for release later this year.
Always a good laugh, the show is worth tuning in to for these two alone.
Martin Freeman
TV audiences have warmed to Freeman ever since his days as Tim in The Office and his career graph has progressed steadily upwards since.
He’ll be chatting to Graham about Season Four of Sherlock, which he is currently filming alongside Benedict Cumberbatch and which should be back on our screens around Christmas.
Maxine Peake
The established actress got her big break as Twinkle in the BBC TV series Dinnerladies and she’ll be discussing the show’s creator, Victoria Wood, who sadly passed away earlier this month.
