Late Late Show

It’s that time of the week.

While lately it has been The Tommy Tiernan Show that is stealing the limelight every weekend, thousands of people still tune into The Late Late Show every Friday night.

And if you are interested, here is who is on the show this week.

Legendary rockstar Dave Grohl, drummer from Nirvana and frontman of Foo Fighters, joins Ryan Tubridy to discuss everything from his memories of Nirvana’s 1991 gig in Cork, to his discovery that “all Irish women look like his mother”.

He will also discuss his high points from headlining Slane Castle in 2015.

Ryan also will speak to Lynsey Bennett, the 32-year-old mother-of-two from Longford, who this week settled her CervicalCheck High Court action.

Bennett left an emotional message to her children outside court on Wednesday.

PE teacher Emer O’Neill will discuss her role as the newest Múinteoir on RTÉ’s Home School Hub, her plans for keeping kids moving, the importance of diversity on Irish television screens, and her battle to overcome racial abuse.

In a week that saw members of the Gardaí take social media by storm with an impressive dance routine, The Late Late Show has a surprise “special number” along the same lines.

Singer-songwriter Ronan Keating will discuss the challenges and rewards of making music over the past year, and welcoming a new addition to his family.

Sportsfile’s Ray McManus will then present a selection of images from A Season of Sundays, a look back at the unique 2020 GAA season as captured by some of Ireland’s best sports photographers.

Finally The Riptide Movement will perform their hit single ‘It All Works Out’.

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