High profile guests confirmed for this season's penultimate Late Late Show episode

A number of high profile guests have been confirmed for this season's penultimate Late Late Show episode. 

In a week when Ireland's response to the ongoing refugee crisis came under intense scrutiny, Tánaiste Micheál Martin will be in studio to discuss where we go from here, the big issues facing the country including housing, and his vision for Ireland as he leads Fianna Fáil into the next general election. 

Noel Gallagher will return to the show as a guest this Friday night (May 19) to talk new music, his childhood memories of Ireland, and partying with Bono. His band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, will release their new album Council Skies in June and will perform at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on August 27. 

My Therapist Ghosted Me duo, Joanne McNally and Vogue Williams, are back bigger, better and bolder than ever. Host Ryan Tubridy will speak with them all about presenting jobs, basements and a significant birthday.

As Katie Taylor prepares to enter the ring at Dublin's 3Arena this weekend for her first fight on Irish soil since 2016, Ryan chats to the man who helped make it happen, boxing promoter and Matchroom Sports Chairman, Eddie Hearn.

Master of impressions Mario Rosenstock will also be up to his usual tricks. 

Plus, expect music from Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill who will reprise one of Ryan’s favourite songs over the years, Baby Talk, and Frankie Gavin & De Dannan will perform Gravel Walks and The Green Groves of Erin. 

The show ends on RTÉ One & RTÉ Player tomorrow (Friday May 19) at 9.35pm.
