AS ANOTHER FRIDAY night rolls around, a bit of light banter might help to break up the monotony.
With the evenings getting darker, there’s no better night to sit on the couch and enjoy some quality chat shows.
Tonight’s Late Late Show is dedicated to Irish companies who will be showcasing their wares and chatting about the tough times they’ve overcome during the pandemic.
16 Irish entrepreneurs who have been selected from all corners of the country will be on tonight’s ‘Taking Care of Business’ special devoted to “promoting the very best of what Irish businesses have to offer”. The showcase this evening follows on from a similar special last November.
But, don’t worry there are still other guests if that’s why you’re here.
Irish chef and entrepreneur Clodagh McKenna and new husband Harry Herbert will be speaking to Ryan about their recent nuptials and their lives together at his family estate Highclere Estate – often referred to as the gaff in Downton Abbey.
Last year’s break-out Late Late Toy Show star Adam King and dad, David will join Ryan ahead of the release of David’s new book ‘A Hug for You’.
They’ll be chatting about their incredible year since Adam first won over viewers with his Virtual Hug. Adam’s wish to present The Late Late may also be about to come true, according to producers.
Musical tonight is from Derry’s latest musical prodigy, Roe, who will sing her rendition of The Cranberries classic I Can’t Be With You.
Fan favourite Miriam Margolyes will be joining Graham tonight to talk about her autobiography This Much is True – the first of many books being flogged this evening.
One of Margolyes’ finer moments on the show is linked below if you need a reminder.
Also on the socially-distanced red chairs this evening: Paul Rudd, on the new Ghostbusters film Afterlife; director Ron Howard, talking about his Hollywood memoir The Boys; Oscar winner Halle Berry, on her new sports drama Bruised; and Stephen Fry, on his latest book Fry’s ties.
Musical guest Gregory Porter will be performing his single Revival.

Bill Gates does amazing work for the third world, so not a bad person to see topping the list.
I’m sure he could be doing more if he’s got 59 billion in his account.
@Julian – he is givening most of it away to Charities in his will.
I’m pretty sure theres a couple of electricians working for the ESB that should be on the list…
But are they happy….?
ya
Bill looks happy :)
I’ve met David Koch many times… Nice guy and yes he’s happy.
No, but they can cry in their $200m yacht!
Hmm that can’t be right! Where is the president of Ireland on that list ?????????
You know what is sickening those five people have more than 250 billion of the worlds resources. How many lives could they save, how could they make the world a better place if they gave even half of it away. Everything that’s wrong with the world is manifested in that list, pure greed.
Warren Buffett is also heavily involved in the Gates Foundation and has allowed his name to be put on Obama’s new tax measures that intend to close tax loop holes for the mega wealthy. It will never pass gestation but it has good intentions.
Lest we also forget that Gates was a ruthless cut throat towards his competitors even by American standards. I guess he wants to repent or polish his legacy or both.
No time like the present, why doesn’t he donate ten or twenty billion now, I’m sure he’ll survive.
You the man
In all seriousness, who cares?
You seem you care – you didn’t have to click the link to the story if you didn’t care
I can’t believe David Hasselhof didn’t make it into the top ten…?
He must be drinking more than I thought.
David Koch only has $25? I might have more!
have your say
