Here’s the line-up for this week’s episode of The Late Late Show

Rudi Kinsella

Late Late lineup

Business as usual for The Late Late Show this week.

Ryan Tubridy received quite a lot of praise for the composure he showed during last week’s episode of The Late Late Show, helping viewers through a completely unprecedented time.

And he will be attempting to do so once again this week, with the help of a number of celebrities, who will be joining from a number of locations around the world.

As testing centres are rolled out across the country, the show will take you through a step-by-step demonstration of what is involved when being tested for coronavirus.

Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe will be in studio with Tubridy to answer questions submitted by viewers concerned about the great financial uncertainties brought on by the coronavirus crisis.

Ireland’s Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan will also be bringing the latest updates for viewers live on air.

As well as this, Ryan will be speaking to Munster rugby player Billy Holland and his wife Lanlih, who, from their home in Cork, will introduce their beautiful newborn baby son Matthew to the world. Following their appeal on The Late Late Show in January of this year, viewers raised nearly €700,000 in memory of Billy and Lanlih’s daughter Emmeline.

Also speaking to Ryan on Friday night from locations across the world are actor, author, comedian and broadcasting legend Stephen Fry, country music royalty Daniel and Majella O’Donnell, musician Sharon Corr and restaurateurs Derry and Sallyanne Clarke.

The Late Late Show kicks off on RTÉ One at 9.35pm on Friday 20 March.
