A pretty decent lineup on both shows.
With the weather conditions expected to be wet and cold, it’s very likely that plenty of people are going to be curled up on their couches this evening and if you’re a rugby fan, the man of the moment will be chatting with Ryan Tubridy tonight.
Here’s the full line-up for the Late Late and for Graham Norton a little later on.
The Late Late Show
Peter O’Mahony
After a heroic performance on Saturday during Ireland’s historic victory over the All Blacks, man of the match Peter O’Mahony will join Ryan to discuss the momentous win, and why the Irish team is in such good shape ahead of a big 2019 for Irish rugby.
Boyzone
With over 25 million records sold, Boyzone enjoyed phenomenal success, including several number one albums and numerous top-selling singles.
As they embark on their farewell tour, Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy discuss why it’s time to say goodbye in the year of their 25th anniversary.
Any chance they’ll recreate their famous debut on the Late Late when Gay Byrne was presenting?
Fr Tony Coote and Professor Orla Hardiman
Earlier this year, Fr Tony Coote was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and immediately decided to walk the length of Ireland to raise awareness and funds for sufferers.
Joined by Professor Orla Hardiman, consultant neurologist at Beaumont Hospital, Fr Tony will discuss the success of ‘Walk While You Can’ and how he is adapting to life with the disease.
Professor Brian Cox
Whether you’re an avid fan or a total novice, the aim of Professor Brian Cox is to make complex scientific ideas understandable to all.
He’ll be talking about his passion for unpicking the infinite universe around us, and chatting about why he’s bringing science on the road in his new tour.
Elsewhere…
Viewers will also meet some of the entrants for Carer of the Year and hear about the amazing work they do in incredibly difficult circumstances.
The master of impressions Mario Rosenstock will be providing the laughs, and music will be from The Stunning, joined by the Irish Chamber Orchestra,.
There will also be a pair of tickets to next week’s Late Late Toy Show up for grabs in this week’s viewer prize.
The Graham Norton Show
Nicole Kidman
The Oscar-winning actress is receiving serious buzz for her new film Destroyer and with a supporting role in Aquaman too, its a busy end to 2018 for the Australian star.
Stephen Fry
The world’s most beloved atheist is back on the couch and with a total of four films in the works, he’ll have plenty to chat about. He’s also something of a Renaissance Man and we’d be amazed if he hasn’t got a litany of other radio, theatre, or TV shows set to be released over the Christmas period.
Joe Lycett
The British comedian has been a regular on TV shows like Live at the Apollo, Taskmaster, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI and as the announcer on Saturday BBC One show Epic Win.
Geraint Thomas
The cyclist became the first Welshman, and just the third Briton, to claim road cycling’s biggest prize when he won the Tour de France in 2018.
Take That
They’re back for good.
The Late Late Show gets underway at 9.35 on RTÉ One and the Graham Norton Show kicks off slightly later at 10.35 on BBC One.
This Friday we’re joined by @stephenfry, @joelycett, @GeraintThomas86, @takethat & Nicole Kidman! On @BBCOne at 10:35pm #TheGNShow pic.twitter.com/T5UonSzmXw
