Will you be tuning in?

Friday nights used to be different. We’re not saying they used to be better…

Actually, yes we are.

But considering we’re all stuck indoors, here’s the lineup for this week’s episode of The Late Late Show.

Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald will be joining host Ryan Tubridy to discuss her own recent battle with Covid-19, as well as her views on ongoing government formation developments and the recent general election.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy will be live in studio for a number of special musical performances. The Bray man will also voice his support for the work of Brother Kevin’s Capuchin Day Centre in Dublin.

Orla Tinsley, writer, campaigner and Cystic Fibrosis advocate will be speaking from her home in New York, discussing how she is coping with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the extra precautions those with CF need to take.

Andrew Scott, star of Fleabag and Sherlock, will chat to Ryan from London about missing Ireland, his daily check-ins with his mam, and his recent Golden Globe nomination.

TV presenter and comedian Patrick Kielty swapped life in L.A. for London with Cat Deeley and their two sons earlier this year, and he wil be on the show to talk about why he’s looking forward to returning home to Down.

Having shot to online fame when a bat flew into the family kitchen, social media sensation Tadgh Fleming will be discussing the latest member of his family to go viral – his 91-year-old grandmother, Mary O’Brien.

The Late Late Show kicks off on RTÉ One on Friday at 9.35pm.
