Rory Cashin

It will be the first time in 18 months that the show will have a live studio audience.

Ryan is back!

Yep, after what feels like a VERY long time, The Late Late Show returns this Friday on RTÉ One at 9.35pm, and the comeback episode has got a stellar line-up!

Ireland’s favourite national export Donie O’Sullivan will be chatting about his career as a CNN journalist and his adventures in America.

Hot off doing their country proud, Olympic heroes such as Kellie Harrington, Paul O’Donovan, Fintan McCarthy, Aidan Walsh, Afric Keogh, Eimear Lambe, Fiona Murtagh and Emily Hegarty will all be on hand to talk about their lives since their historic time spent in Tokyo.

Sophie Toscan du Plantier’s son, Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud, will be on the show to talk about his mother, the two recent documentary series based around her murder, as well as why he continues to visit Ireland all these years later.

Boy George will be a guest judge on new Irish talent show The Big Deal (which kicks off this Saturday), but he’ll also be chatting to Ryan about his impressive career to date, including his time as part of the iconic Culture Club.

To celebrate what would’ve been Dolores O’Riordan’s 50th birthday, her mother Eileen O’Riordan will be joined by Fergal Lawler from The Cranberries to talk about Dolores’ incredible talent and their lives in the studio and on the road.

And last but not least, The Script will be performing their new single ‘I Want It All’ from their forthcoming greatest hits collection Tales From The Script, and discussing about how excited they are to get back on tour.
