The line-ups are in!
It’s about to be a long weekend of pints and rugby so you might want to consider having a calm night tonight and staying in to watch some TV.
It’s our duty to help you decide what to watch with our side-by-side comparison of the respective line-ups for The Graham Norton Show and The Late Late Show.
Take a look at the line-ups and tell us which you’ll be watching.
The Graham Norton Show
Ben Stiller, Penelope Cruz and Owen Wilson
That’s right. The three stars of the upcoming Zoolander No. 2 will be sitting opposite Mr. Norton tonight, promoting the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the iconic original and proving that there’s more to being a good chat-show guest than being really, really ridiculously good-looking.

Jack Black
Famed for his high-energy comedic performances, Jack Black will certainly bring further hilarity to Graham’s couch as he talks about his upcoming film based on the beloved Goosebumps series of books.
Music by Elton John
Graham Norton is just showing off with a music guest like Elton John. The pop music giant will be performing material from his latest and 32nd studio album Crazy Wonderful Night.
The Late Late Show
Jason Manford
There’s going to be laughs over on RTÉ as well, as Ryan Tubridy is joined by Mancunian comedian Jason Manford. Manford’s not only got jokes, but also some historical appeal – the English comic will be talking about his great-grandfather who fought in the GPO as a rebel during the Easter Rising.

Phil Jupitus
Manford will be joined by Never Mind The Buzzcocks legends Phil Jupitus – another man whose sure to have the crowd laughing. The two are promoting the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical in which they both star, which is running in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.

Michelle Collins
Actress Michelle Collins also stars in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, so she’ll be on with the lads talking to Ryan about their preparation for the opening night, as well as being one of few actors to star in both Corrie and Eastenders.
Martin Kemp
Completing the Chitty Chitty gang, Spandau Ballet’s bassist Martin Kemp will presumably have some decent stories to share about his time at the top.

Music by Bagatelle, Gavin Glass
Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Gavin Glass will be on the show, talking about his time in the Big Brother house and cranking out some tunes. There’ll also be a performance by Bagatelle, an Irish rock band who have been on the go since 1978.
