This season of The Late Late Show comes to an end on Friday night, and what a finale it’s going to be!
On Friday night, Ryan will catch up with some key workers from frontline services including nurses, doctors, nursing home staff, and paramedics who have played a vital role in the battle against Covid-19.
Among those lining up to voice the nation’s thanks to Ireland’s frontline workers will be Uachtarán na hÉireann, Michael D. Higgins, in an interview which will be pre-recorded at the gardens at Áras an Uachtaráin.
Her stunning performance of Nothing Compares 2U in September was a stand-out moment of the current season, and on Friday night, the inimitable Sinéad O’Connor will be back in studio for another performance.
There will be a strong touch of Hollywood on the show, with Saoirse Ronan and Colin Farrell chatting to Ryan.
Ireland’s record goalscorer Robbie Keane will discuss how his experience of the pandemic inspired him to fundraise for those working in hospitals around Ireland, and Sibéal Ní Chasaide will be in studio with a special performance dedicated to all those who have lost their lives during the crisis.
Catch the show this Friday on RTE One at 9.35pm.
