Can you believe it’s almost Friday again?! The weeks are flying by, and this week’s Late Late Show is looking set to be a celebration of female talent.
Patrick Kielty will be joined in the studio by a well-known roster of Irish women who are all doing amazing things in their professions.
Leading the line-up is Irish actress Amybeth McNulty, who shot to fame for her role in Anne with an E and has also appeared in Stranger Things.
Amybeth will chat to Patrick about life in the spotlight, her massive online following, and how growing up in Letterkenny led her into acting.
Another Irish actress who’ll be in the studio on Friday is Charlene McKenna, who’ll discuss returning to the stage in The Crucible and what it’s like to perform alongside her husband.
Charlene will also reflect on the continued rise of Irish talent on the global stage and share what fans can look forward to from her in 2026.
Elsewhere, radio presenter Claire Byrne will be on the show ahead of taking up the mic for her new weekday morning show on Newstalk.
She’ll chat about why now felt like the right time to make the move, what listeners can expect, and the fresh challenge of going head‑to‑head with former colleagues and friends on the airwaves.
Viewers will also get to hear from journalist Nicola Tallant, who’ll reflect on Veronica Guerin’s career and the enduring legacy she left in investigative and crime reporting, 30 years on from her murder.
Rounding out the star female line-up is The O.C. legend Mischa Barton, who’ll be talking about her latest stage role in Double Indemnity, coming to the Gaiety Theatre later this year.
