Hollywood legend announced to lead RTE’s Late Late Show this weekend as Tubridy absent from airwaves

Hollywood legend Jamie Lee Curtis will lead RTE’s Late Late Show this weekend.

Host Ryan Tubridy revealed the Halloween star will be joining him for what he has described as ‘a big show’.

Award winning Irish presenter and author Graham Norton and former rugby ace Brian O’Driscoll will also be on the programme this week.

Tubridy announced the guests, saying: "We will be joined by one of the greatest actors of her generation, Jamie Lee Curtis.

"Also, Graham Norton's going to be here - and Brian O'Driscoll's going to be here too.

"It's a big show."

It comes as the host was absent from his RTE Radio 1 show on Monday morning, with Oliver Callan stepping in for the day.

He said: “I’m just here for today he will be back in the morning for normal service.”

Callan often steps in for the presenter when he has to travel for interviews, or is taking some time off from the airwaves.

Friday night’s Late Late Show saw the presenter welcome singer-songwriter Paul Brady, athletes Ciara Mageean and Sonia O'Sullivan, former RTÉ Northern Editor Tommie Gorman, Louis Walsh's new act Next in Line, and Sporty Spice, Melanie C in studio.
