Ryan Tubridy is back for his first Late Late Show of 2017, and it’s set to be a great one. The host will chat to the stars of new RTE drama Striking Out, and to some of the celebs preparing to battle it out for the glitter ball on Dancing With The Stars.
Amy Huberman and Neil Morrissey will be in studio to chat about their hit new legal drama Striking Out. Amy will be talking about life as one of the most famous women in Ireland and some exciting new projects she has on the horizon, while Neil will tell viewers about his journey from very humble beginnings to becoming one of the biggest names on British television.
As Dancing with the Stars launches this weekend, Ryan will have contestants Hughie Maughan, Teresa Mannion and Des Cahill on the couch. They’ll be letting audiences know how rehearsals have been going, and who is discovering they’ve got two left feet!
RTÉ’s US correspondent Caitriona Perry has spent the last two years covering one of the most tumultuous elections in America’s history. She’ll be discussing what it was like to cover the Trump campaign, where it went wrong for Hillary Clinton, how things are shaping up now and what it all means for the undocumented Irish still living there.
Ryan will be chatting about what the new year may bring with actor Michael Harding, The Rubberbandits’ Blindboy and Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope writer Stefanie Preissner.
Also on will be journalist Ian Kehoe. He will be giving viewers the lowdown on the vulture funds quietly buying up the country, and finding out how their actions are impacting ordinary people.
Music will be provided by singer Connor McKeon, who will pay tribute to the music icons we lost in 2016 with a very special performance. Country music star Derek Ryan will be in studio too with his latest hit.
You can catch The Late Late Show this Friday, at 9.35pm on RTÉ One
