RTE Late Late Show viewers make the same joke as Graham Norton chats with Ryan Tubridy

Viewers who tuned into Friday evening's Late Late Show were all left making the same joke after the first guest on the couch.

Ryan Tubridy welcomed fellow presenter Graham Norton to the Donnybrook studio for a wide-ranging chat about a number of things, including Graham's new book.

The Corkman also got married over the summer in a private ceremony, and he opened up to Ryan about the changes he's found since the nuptials.

He explained: "It does feel weird. When I say, my husband - I have a husband!. I never thought I'd get married, it's something to do with getting older, the vows are easier. Til death do us part, that's doable. When you're 20, that seems like a commitment.

"As you get older, you appreciate when something's right, you treasure it, you don't take it for granted.

"It was a bit of a secret. Word got out in Bantry that it was going to be a wedding, so the rumour mill grew- Elton John was sighted apparently.

"There was Lady Gaga, a rumour she was in town. My favourite was in SuperValu, someone spotted Adele without makeup. Which is essentially every woman in SuperValu in Bantry. There was a few snappers, they were very disappointed."

But viewers couldn't help but make the obvious joke - given that The Graham Norton Show airs at the same time on the BBC as the Late Late Show does on RTÉ.

"Be Prepared to enter the #Nortonverse tonight as Graham Norton appears on two talk shows at the same time in two separate countries." one person tweeted.

Another wrote: "How are people gonna knock the Late Late and do the aul Graham Norton comparisons tonight when hes there!"

Meanwhile, a few Corkonians were delighted to hear Graham pay tribute to the likes of C103, with one writing: "Isn't @grahnort an absolute howl all the same?? Cork Legend!"

A third laughed: "I think the question we all need an answer to is when is Tubs appearing on the #GrahamNorton show"

While a fourth tweeted: "Graham Norton deserves all the success he has had. Brilliant at what he does. Came a long from Father Furlong!"
