If you’re staying in tonight…
It’s Friday and you know what that means, pints.
Well, it’s also the day that The Late Late Show and The Graham Norton Show are on TV. On that note, here’s who both men will be chatting to later.
The Late Late Show
Michelle and Robert Ryan
It was the longest running murder trial in Irish criminal history as it gripped the nation for 13 weeks. Bobby Ryan’s children, Michelle and Robert, will be speaking to Ryan Tubridy about their father and the sentencing of Patrick Quirke.
Kodaline
The chart-topping band will be chatting ahead of their Dublin shows later this month, and they’ll also perform their single ‘Brother’.
Stefanie Preissner
In her new book Can I Say No?, the author explores why simply saying ‘no’ is such a difficult thing to do.
Stefanie joins Ryan to discuss how society has lost the ability to say no and how, by reacquainting ourselves with this two letter word, we can go on to live happier, less stressful and more fulfilling lives.
Leaving Cert chat
With just under a month to go until the Leaving Certificate begins, Tubridy will catch up with six students from around the country who are currently preparing for the exams, and will find out about the stresses, pressures, and ups and downs facing Irish teenagers.
There’s also going to be the first Late Late Show birth as we meet the robot being used to teach medical students about the process of having a baby, and music will be from SYML.
As always, The Late Late Show airs on RTÉ One at 21:35.
The Graham Norton Show
Will Smith
In terms of big shoes to fill, they don’t get much bigger than Robin Williams’ beloved turn as the genie in Aladdin.
Well, it’s time for the Fresh Prince to let the genie out of the bottle because the Hollywood icon will be bringing the laughs in Guy Ritchie’s live action version of the classic tale.
Naomi Scott
It’s not Aladdin without Princess Jasmine and the British actress has been very busy recently after starring in the Power Rangers film and landing a leading role in the new Charlie’s Angels film.
Kevin Hart
One of the most famous comedians on the planet is on the couch and he’s got all of the following being released in 2019; The Upside, Irresponsible: Netflix Special Stand-up Comedy, The Secret Life of Pets 2, and the new Jumanji film.
A very busy man with plenty to chat about.
Octavia Spencer
The Oscar-winning actress is a remarkable talent that’s consistently been great in titles like The Help, Hidden Figures, and Fruitvale Station, and Madam C.J. Walker.
She has also been cast in the new version of The Witches too.
Music comes from Shakespeares Sister, we’ll ‘Stay’ for that one.
This Week! Join Will Smith, @NaomiScott, @KevinHart4real, @octaviaspencer & Shakespears Sister! This Friday at 10:35pm on @BBCOne #TheGNShow pic.twitter.com/dZxGOqlrCc
