The line-up for the Late Late Show is here

Over to you Mr Norton.

Paul Moore

Over to you Mr Norton.

It’s that time of the week again and the wait is finally over.

Fans of the Late Late Show will undoubtedly be doing a little jig at their desk after reading tonight’s line-up while those people that prefer to watch anything else, will presumably be watching anything else.

Here’s who’s on the show:

Jim Sheridan

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 28:  Jim Sheridan attends the Tribeca Talks Directors Series: Jim Sheridan With Naomi Sheridan during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival at the School of Visual Arts Theater on April 28, 2012 in New York City.  (Photo by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images)

The acclaimed Irish director will be chatting to R-Tubz about his career behind the lens and the fact that he’s being honoured with the IFTA Lifetime Achievement Award.

Sheridan has directed some classic Irish films – In the Name of the Father, In America and My Left Foot spring to mind – so he might have a few decent anecdotes.

He might also have an explanation as to why ‘Get Rich or Die Trying’ was so bad.

Risteard Cooper

At the end of the daaaay liiiike, the Apres Match contributor should be a good laugh because he will undoubtedly a few of his ‘Keano-isms’ on the show.

He might also mention that small role in Batman Begins. Yep, he was in it.

Amanda Byram

The former Big Breakfast host has become something of an online fitness guru and we’re expecting to hear a few good tips for all you gym bunnies.

A quick google search on Byram also tells us that the current Irish Big Brother contestant, Jade Martina Lynch, is also her cousin so naturally Tubridy will be chatting to Amanda about the recent British General Election and its economic implications for Ireland.

Neven Maguire

The talented chef from Cavan will be on hand to make us all feel inferior about our cooking skills while CyberPsychologist Mary Aiken will be giving us all an insight into the mind of cyber crime.

Keanu

Music

There’s music from the stars of Once – The Musical, the smart money is on them playing a little known song called ‘Falling Slowly’ , while Mary Black’s daughter Roisin O and country singer Ray Lynam also feature.
