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

TV talk show guide

Joe Harrington

Norton

Handy if you’re in front of the box tonight.

That “grand stretch in the evening” we all love is getting shorter and shorter by the week, so those nights in in front of the telly are getting closer.

We know Friday night is a great night to head out, but if you don’t you’ll probably end up watching The Late Late Show and/or The Graham Norton Show.

In a new feature creatively titled TUBRIDY vs NORTON, here are the line-ups for the two shows.

The Late Late Show

Toni Collette

The Oscar-nominated actress is on to plug her new movie Miss You Already.

We’re expecting plenty of chat about working with young Irish stars Gerard Barrett and Jack Reynor in Glassland as well.

Brent Pope, George Hook and Tom McGurk

The three wise men of RTÉ’s rugby coverage down through the years are on to chat about Ireland’s chances in the World Cup and their new road show.

Brian McFadden

B. Fads (gangsternamegenerator.com), as we call him, is going to open up about his breakup with Vogue Williams. It’s going to be awkward.

Pauline Belwick

More drama here because this lady is going to talk about the affairs she had during her 60 year marriage including one with Luke Kelly.

It’s like something from Melrose Place.

Rick Stein

The famous TV chef is one to talk about family, travel and food.
