On Friday night's show, actor, author, and former presenter of "The Great British Bake Off," Matt Lucas will be chatting to Patrick about his remarkable career in comedy, his debut musical novel "The Boy Who Slept Through Christmas," and his cameo role in the hugely anticipated "Gladiator II."

Comedian and actor Ardal O’Hanlon will also be in studio this Friday night to tell Patrick how he is preparing to go back out on the road next year with his new show. The pair will also catch up on meeting the Pope during the summer and as 30 years of "Father Ted" approaches, Patrick will be asking Ardal how his role as Fr. Dougal transformed his fortunes.

IFTA award-winning actress Victoria Smurfit will be talking about working with Dame Jilly Cooper, Aidan Turner, and David Tenant on the hit guilty pleasure TV show Disney Plus’ "Rivals."  Reviewers have given the steamiest show on TV five stars and Victoria will share how she manifested the role of Maud O’Hara from a young age; she will also speak of her return home to Ireland.

Eileen Walsh is in the studio to chat with Patrick about her role in the hotly anticipated "Small Things Like These." Adapted from Claire Keegan’s novel of the same name, Eileen will share the story of a father who confronts the truth of one of Ireland's infamous Magdalene laundries. Playing opposite her good friend Cillian Murphy, Eileen will tell Patrick how their friendship goes back to the start of both their careers.

In true Halloween style, Jedward will banish any ghosts or ghouls from studio with a paranormal performance while Bambie Thug will perform their brand-new song "Fangtasy" ahead of their Irish tour dates.

"The Late Late Show," sponsored by PTSB, airs tonight at 9:35 pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
