The Late Late Show came back with a bang last night, and we have to say, they certainly did it in style.

The line-up included comedian Al Porter, Annalise Murphy, boxer Michael Conlan, as well as the O'Donovan brothers.

They all got on like a house on fire and ended up going to COPPERS with Tubbers for the night!

Imagine Coppers with Ryan Tubridy!

Ryan even got a GOLD card… the chancer.

It looked like the absolute craic.

He might be one of the hottest men to grace our screens in recent years, but that doesn't mean Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan has let fame go to his head.

In a new interview with Ryan Tubridy which will air as part of tomorrow night's Late Late line-up, the County Down native admitted that fame is one aspect of his work which doesn't appeal to him.

Sitting next to his Anthropoid co-star Cillian Murphy, Jamie explained: “The fame aspect that comes with being a working actor does not intrigue me in the slightest.” 

“I think something like being Irish helps, and my friends.  There’s just no allowance for it.”

The Marie Antoinette star revealed how the value he places on his family and friends allows him to stay grounded.  

He said: “In your life, no matter what happens or how much notoriety you gain through your work, the fundamentals of your life don’t change…Your wife, your kids, your family and your friends, all that stuff, the stuff that makes you, doesn’t change.”

“On nights like this when you go to a premiere and it all seems crazy, it’s all very heightened but every day is totally normal.  It’s just a job, you go to work and do your job and then that’s it,” he continued.

Surprisingly the 34-year-old father of two also admitted that despite his lead role in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, few of his friends have actually seen the flick.

He said: “I’m just thinking about some of my mates here and I would never want to go to see them in that movie!  It would be no different.”

“Why would they want to see me like that?” he asked.  “None of them have seen it.  I think a couple came to the premiere in London actually but with wives and girlfriends.”

As well as Jamie and Cillian, tomorrow night’s Late Late Show will also feature comedian Al Porter and Olympians Michael Conlan, Annalise Murphy and Gary and Paul O’Donovan.

The Late Late Show airs this Friday at 9.35pm on RTÉ One

Ryan Tubridy will celebrate his 43rd birthday tomorrow, and in a Facebook live video, the crew celebrated it with him in the most bizarre way.

While talking about the season finale of the Late Late Show, the producers bring in a birthday cake, to which Ryan says, "You know my feelings about this sort of thing.”

He then goes on to sing to himself: “Happy birthday to me, happy birthday you big gigantic egotistical monster."

Throughout the 12 minute long video, Ryan messes around on a chair, talks about Eamon Dunphy being a "messer," and then says they already have plans for the Toy Show.

“We’re already planning the Toy Show for next year. It’s not even next year, it’s this year."

“We even have a theme, do you wanna know what it is?" he teased. "Nah, never gonna happen, that’s gonna be fun." (sic)

We'd say the Late Late is going to be full of laughs tonight.

Christy Moore is a legend. No questions asked.

He appeared on the Late Late Show last night, and while chatting to Ryan, told him a little bit about when Ed came to Dublin.

Christy said that Ed wanted him to play at his concert, but Christy declined since Ed has such a young audience (We totally would have LOVED that, though).

He also described him as "a lovely young man" and admitted that he showed him how to play The Molly Malone, which Ed actually performed while in Dublin.

The Dubliner added that Mr Sheeran is "very very special," and we just think every working relationship should be like this.

Watch the lovely conversation here:

Brendan O’Connor spoke so eloquently about his daughter Mary, who has Down’s syndrome, last night that it is not surprising huge support was been shown towards the star.

That was the best item on #LateLateShow tonight. Bravo for speaking out for Mary & all kids with special needs Brendan O Connor

Talking on last night’s The Late Late Show, Brendan said Ireland’s lack of support for those with disabilities now will cause us to consider this time as an “inhumane culture” in two decades.

Opening up to Ryan Tubridy, the comedian honestly said that when he found out about his daughter’s disability he thought their lives were “ruined”.

“The reality is, and it’s terribly upsetting, the reality is that people like my daughter are, it’s all very well that we look at them, and go ‘aren’t they great’ but as a society the way we treat them is appalling,” he said.

“We will look back on how we treat these children now and we will go that was an inhumane culture we lived in.”

Watching #latelate on +1. Fair play Brendan O'Connor for calling out the shocking extent to which children are being let down by the system.

Adding that he feels lucky to be living in Dublin where services are nearby, he said he feels for those around the country who have to travel for help. 

“If you knew the struggle that mothers [go through], there is a lot of extra work involved there, there is a lot of pain involved there as well," he said.

“To lump on top of that then for these women, and it is mainly women, you do nothing to help them, to help the kids have some coping skills in life. There is nothing. There is less and less out there all the time. Talk to any parent.”

Brendan O' Connor killed it on the #LateLateShow . Such an important conversation

Hozier will appear on The Late Late Show this Friday night, March 11, and if you play your social media cards right you could have a front row seat.

Ryan Tubridy and co. are looking for Hozier's biggest fans (or at least the most inquisitive ones) to form part of the studio audience for this week's Late Late.

To be in with a chance of scoring tickets, you simply need to let RTÉ know the ONE question you'd ask Hozier if you had the chance to meet him face-to-face.

You can submit your question via Twitter using the hashtag #HozierLLS, or via the RTÉ One and Late Late Show Facebook pages (keep an eye out there for details).

The lucky few who submit the "most interesting and intriguing questions" will be selected for this Friday's studio audience. As well as getting to hear Hozier perform Cherry Wine live on the night, they may even get the chance to ask Hozier the question themselves live on air.

While that sounds like it could end up being just a tad awkward, we'd never sniff at the chance to see Hozier singing live, just a few feet away.

Please note that you must be over 18 to form part of The Late Late Show's studio audience.

Later this month, RTÉ plans to celebrate love in the most Irish way possible – with a special Valentine's Day edition of The Late Late Show.

As with last year, much of the audience will be made up of singles looking for love (because who's a better matchmaker than our own Ryan Tubridy?), but there will also be a few couples in the mix too.

Today, The Late Late Show announced a call-out for Ireland's Most Loved-Up Couple, as nominated by viewers.

If you know someone who is annoyingly in love with their partner – or indeed, if that person is you – then make yourself known.

"The lucky couple will win themselves a romantic break for two but, more importantly, they’ll get the chance of a lifetime: making their very own appearance on The Late Late Show," RTÉ explains.

"This year’s Valentine’s Special on Friday, February 21, will host an audience of 200 single men and women on the hunt for love and we're looking for the perfect couple who can show them how it’s done."

According to the man himself, Ryan Tubridy, the nominated couples can be anyone at any stage of a relationship.

"We’re asking people to nominate the couples they feel perfectly embody what love means.

"Maybe they have a funny story about how they met or they’ve inspired everyone around them with their long and happy marriage. Perhaps, they’re devoted to their children and need a break or they’ve faced down great adversity hand-in-hand and made it through to the other side stronger than ever."

If you think you know the perfect couple, get in touch (publicly or privately) with The Late Late Show on Facebook including picture and some info, tweet using the hashtag #LateLateLove or email latelatelove@rte.ie.

This yuletide season, two (or should that be three?) of our favourite festive stables are FINALLY joining forces: yes, step forward The Late Late Toyshow AND the Christmas jumper – as released by Penneys, no less.

Ho, ho, ho!

Toyshow jumpers: women's [left] and men's [right], both €20

 

After all, little could get us in the mood for seasonal festivities more than a brightly-coloured geansaí, sourced from our favourite affordable store, along with the airing of a certain live television classic.

Available in chic grey shade and classic navy shades and featuring an adorable Christmasy owl surround by snow, the €20 tops also feature The Late Late Toyshow logo.

Kids jumpers, €15

 

Along with a stash of fabulously comfy loungewear [priced from €14], and cute kids' items [priced from €10], the attire hits Penneys nationwide this month… all in time for the Ryan Tubridy spectacle, which this year airs on RTE on November 27.

Girls and boys PJs, €10

 

Better still, with €2 from every purchase going to the Temple Street Foundation, there is really no excuse (we didn't need one, mind) not to get your hands on these festive treats.

Women's lounge set, €14
Men's longe top and bottoms, €15 for the set

 

To celebrate the launch of the collection, home-grown boyband Hometown earlier visited the children’s hospital to spread some music and Christmas cheer.

Speaking about the collaboration, CEO of The Temple Street Foundation, Denise Fitzgerald, confirmed: “The Toyshow is a beloved national institution and many of our little patients will be watching from their hospital beds on November 27.”

It's only been a month since Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby visited Dublin to do some filming with the Republic of Telly gang, and now she's back in the Irish capital again.

The Newcastle lass will be in Dublin tonight to appear on the Late Late Show couch with Ryan Tubridy, and you can check her out from 9.35pm. 

RTÉ revealed the news today via Twitter:

Charlotte has kept quiet about her Dublin trip on social media, tweeting earlier today to tell fans she had a morning full of meetings, so it's likely she won't be flying into Dublin Airport until the afternoon.

After the huge success of her fitness DVD, 3 Minute Belly Blitz, Charlotte's autobiography will be published this July, so it's likely she'll be promoting that this evening. ME ME ME is "full of drawings, doodles, and Charlotte's personal photos" according to the official blurb.

The 24-year-old's Republic of Telly appearance aired on Monday, and the sketch saw her giving some essential selfie advice to presenters Kevin McGahern and Brendan O'Shea:

Maybe she can teach Ryan a thing or two as well?

The newly crowned Rose of Tralee Maria Walsh chatted candidly to Ryan Tubridy about her sexuality last night on the Late Late Show.

After her win last month, Philadelphia Rose Maria Walsh revealed in an interview that she was "gay and proud."

Ryan was quick to ask her if it the subject had been broached by the judges. "'Are you a lesbian?' That wasn't asked, no," said Maria. "If it was ever going towards that I would have openly said it."

Despite being tipped as a favourite to be crowned Rose, Maria said she was shocked when the result was announced. "I wasn't expecting to win," she said.

Executive Chairman of the festival, Anthony O'Gara, also had a few things to say yesterday – he published an open letter on the Rose of Tralee website, criticising the Irish public's view of the festival as merely being a "Lovely Girls" contest.

"We are not interested in stereotyping women. We celebrate exceptional women and accept them as the proud people they are, whatever that might be," said Anthony. "Roses and the rest of us live in the real world where bad things happen and people struggle." 

Well said, Anthony!

James Corden has been announced as the new host of CBS’ The Late Late Show and will replace Craig Ferguson.

The Gavin and Stacey funnyman is not well-known over in the US, but that is all set to change very soon!

Many media outlets in America have printed articles describing James' successful UK career to date in a bid to enlighten future viewers. 

It was announced back in April that Craig was planning to leave the chat show: “At the end of this year I will be stepping down as the host of the show.”

Craig, a Scottish TV presenter, has been the host of The Late Late Show for the past decade after taking over from Craig Kilborn in 2004.  

Good luck in your new job, James! We're sure you'll be great!
