There’s something for everyone on this week’s Late Late Show.
Singer Niall Horan will speak to Ryan about how the music industry has been affected by Covid shutdowns and what measures are being taken to keep it afloat.
Deirdre O’Kane, comedian and TV presenter, will discuss changes in the comedy scene, and new challenges she and other Irish entertainers are facing.
As well as these top celebrity interviews, Ryan Tubridy hopes to put a special focus on Irish businesses throughout Friday night’s show.
Ryan said, “It takes a lot of guts to start up a business in this country, but it takes even more backbone to keep it alive in the face of a pandemic.
“We are celebrating the local heroism of people who are making hampers for Christmas, or candles for local shops, people who are suppliers in their towns and villages. We are going to celebrate them, thank them, and hopefully, we are going help to keep them afloat in these difficult times.”
Throughout the show, Irish companies will be showcasing their wares and demonstrating their tenacity and resourcefulness in the face of some of the toughest times in the history of their businesses. The spirit of Irish entrepreneurship will be well and truly on display.
Experts in specific fields including Diarmuid Gavin, Anna Geary, Kevin Dundon, and Roisin Murphy will showcase some of their favourite businesses from the worlds of outdoor and gardening, sports and fitness, food and beverages, and homeware.
Catch the show, Friday night on RTE One at 9.35pm.
