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.
Tubridy is promising an evening of ‘no worries’ during tonight’s Lion King-themed Toy Show – an appealing offer even to the Late Late critics among us.
Tonight’s show will be sure to offer some reprieve as nothing lifts the nation’s spirits like the chaos of the cars, bikes, and trikes convoy.
For anyone watching across the miles, the show will also be live on the RTÉ Player – if you get manage to get the feed to work you’re not on the naughty list this year.
Special guests are kept under wraps, as with every Toy Show, so you’ll have to tune later in to see who drops by or jumps out of a box.
One thing we can anticipate is the return of the studio audience. The Late Late shared a video of some lucky individuals finding out they’ll be attending tonight’s show and we’d be that excited too for the giveaways alone.
If you are in need of your Friday chat show fix while Ryan is occupied, it’s still business as usual for Graham.
Leading the lineup this evening is Will Smith who’s flogging his new autobiography, and film King Richard. Smith stars as Venus and Serena Williams’s father in the story of the tennis legends’ rise from Compton tennis prodigies to record-breaking Grand Slam winners.
Also joining Graham tonight: TV host Richard Osman, whose new novel is The Man Who Died Twice; the creator of the Broadway hit Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda, on directing new musical drama Tick, Tick… Boom!; and comedians Chris and Rosie Ramsey.
Music this evening comes from Yola, who’ll perform Starlight from her album Stand for Myself.

Martin, Adams, Wallace and Daly. God help us if they ever got near power.
@paddy it’s to late for god now, that’s all we have left to ask questions, so we are fcuked proper fcuked like the rabbit
So Paddy Murray – you would rather keep a Minister , a Garda Commissioner and a Government in power , who have a propensity to proffer a constant flow of porkypies and cover-ups instead ?
I would far prefer to have at any time, 165 honest TD’s leading this Country then one dishonest TD !
Unlike you, Ciarraioch, I am prepared to wait for the evidence and the proof. And I think it’s pretty naive to think there are 165 honest TDs in there. Look at the expenses claims of the so-called socialists for starters….
And since you’re ok with burying “the evidence and the proof”, you’re also ok with the long wait.
I read Shatter’s full response. It suggested to me that Deputy Martin had made a fool of himself by not knowing that he was in the government that had dealt with the accusations over five years.
Yes Jonathan but why then did Shatter and Callinan , since then , sit on their hands while moving the files around their respective desks ?
They must both resign and NOW !
I read it too. The speech is a good tactical reply to MArtin. But it’s not a good tactical reply to the public as it’s low on substance. Still none the wiser after it. Question time later today may shed some light on things.
In the days to come the columnists will focus on the substance – not Martin.
Where are the labour party in this? The Greens were slammed in the last GE for not showing backbone and pulling out if government only at the very end. Its time for Labour to start playing hardball to get back some credibility or they’re going to suffer a very similar fate. Disappointed in how they’re backing up Shatter regardless and very poor performances in the Dail from Joan Burton and Eamon. Once in government its hard to let go eh?
Reported sighting in the wicklow mountains
Does Paddy work for FG ?
Sunday World ‘journalist’.. say no more.
Shatter,saying “sorry” is the hardest word
Go back to Cork Martin
Come back FF, all is, ehhhh…
The opposition really are pulling out all the stops to slay Shatter.
Unfortunately the one thing they lack is an accusation of substance to nail him on.
Slippery he may be, but you can’t bark a minister out of office just because you don’t like the cut of his jib.
Johngahan where have you been the last couple of weeks do you watch tv or read the papers atall
have your say
