TUBRIDY v NORTON: The lineups for The Late Late Show and Graham Norton are here

Conor Heneghan

Your last chance to see Tubs for a while.

That’s right, tonight’s show is the last of the season for the Late Late, which will be on hiatus for the next couple of months.

Graham isn’t taking a break just yet, however and here’s what you can look forward to on both shows this Friday night.

The Late Late Show

Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy

Johnny Giles will be leaving RTE Sport following their coverage of the Euros this summer and nobody will miss him more than his old mate Eamon Dunphy, with whom he has shared a screen for what seems like a lifetime at this stage.

Johnny and Eamon will be chatting about Ireland’s prospects at Euro 2016 and reminiscing about the many years they’ve had the nation hanging on their every word.

The Saw Doctors

After a bit of a break, one of Galway’s finest musical exports are back on the scene again and they’ll be chatting to Ryan about getting back together and what they’ve been up to for the past few years.

There just might be a sing song as well.

Oliver Callan

The Dáil is about to take a break for the summer (did they not just have a break?) so Late Late regular Oliver Callan will assume Enda Kenny’s persona and deliver a state of the nation address with some timely interruptions from his colleagues.

Doctor Austin O’Carroll

Dr O’Carroll overcame incredible adversity to become one of Ireland’s most well-known and respected GPs.

The audience will hear how, having been born with disabilities after his mother was given thalidomide while pregnant with him, his own experiences of the health service growing up inspired him to forge a more compassionate path in his medical practice where he deals with some of the most disadvantaged people in the State.

The Graham Norton Show

Emilia Clarke

attends "Me Before You" World Premiere at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 theater on May 23, 2016 in New York City.

Bang in the middle of the latest season of Game of Thrones, there’ll be plenty of interest in what the Mother of Dragons herself has to say about what’s going down in the seven kingdoms.

She’ll also be chatting about her new movie, Me Before You.

Not long after his visit to Kerry, LeBlanc will be chatting to Graham about replacing the original Top Gear stars, working with Chris Evans and (hopefully) about his visit to Ireland’s south-west.

Kate Beckinsale

onstage during the 2016 Billboard Music Awards at T-Mobile Arena on May 22, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Speaking of Ireland, it’s not long since Kate Beckinsale was over here filming Love and Friendship – a romantic comedy set in the 19th century and based on a Jane Austen novel – which was released earlier this month.

Dominic Cooper

attends AMC's PREACHER Pop Up Screening on May 20, 2016 in New York City.

Warcraft is about as far removed from Jane Austen as you could possibly get and one of the stars of the film based on the wildly successful video game series, Dominic Cooper, will chat to Graham about his role as King Llane Wrynn.
