Graham is back.
Joe Brolly or Kylie Minogue? A tough choice but it’s yours to make when the Late Late Show and The Graham Norton show air at the usual times of 9.35pm and 10.35pm on RTÉ One and BBC One respectively.
Here’s who’s on both couches tonight.
The Late Late Show
- Ruby, Katie and Ted Walsh – Three members of one the most famous families in horseracing will be in studio for their first joint television interview since Ruby’s unfortunate fall at Cheltenham last month. Ruby will tell viewers about the frustration of falling and breaking his leg so soon after getting back in the saddle. Ted and Katie will reveal how it felt as a parent and a sister to see it happen while Katie will tell of her mixed emotions when racing to victory later in the day. Katie will also discuss her chances of becoming the first woman to win the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday week.
- Joe Brolly – Never shy of a word or two, the most outspoken pundit in the GAA will be on to discuss the upcoming GAA Championship, growing up during The Troubles and seeing his father interned and his work as an advocate for cystic fibrosis patients.
- Ryan O’Shaughnessy – Ireland’s Eurovision hopeful will be performing this year’s entry, ‘Together’, for the first time on national television and will also discuss the controversy around the Russian take on the song before he travels to Lisbon for the contest next month.
- Rachel Moran – Rachel Moran was coerced into prostitution in her early teens and spent seven years in the Dublin sex trade. She campaigned strongly for a new law, brought in last year, to criminalise the buying of sex and she will discuss with Ryan why she believes a failure to fully enforce this new law is making the sex trade more dangerous.
- National Treasures – Ryan will meet some of the people whose objects caught the eye of the curators on National Treasures, a new TV show and exhibition telling the story of Ireland over the last 100 years through the ordinary objects treasured by families up and down the country.
- Dermot Higgins – You may have read about Dermot’s historic round-the-world journey on JOE last month and he’ll be in studio to tell Ryan all about becoming the oldest person to travel the globe by bicycle at the age of 55.
- Music from Five Grand Stereo
The Graham Norton Show
- Emily Blunt and John Krasinski – The stars of a brand new horror flick, A Quiet Place, will chat to Graham about a movie that has been attracting rave reviews, including this one from JOE’s own Paul Moore.
- Tom Holland – After star turns in Captain America: Civil War and Spider Man: Homecoming, Holland will discuss reprising the role of Peter Parker and his famous alter ego in the new and much anticipated Marvel film Avengers: Infinity War.
- Kylie Minogue – Still going strong a month before her 50th birthday, Kylie will be performing her new single ‘Stop Me from Falling’, from the album Golden.
