The Late Late Show's Valentine's Day guests include Chris O'Dowd and Steve Coogan

The Late Late Show, hosted by Patrick Kielty, have announced the lineup for this week’s Valentine's Day broadcast.

Irish actor Chris O’Dowd and Hollywood actor Christina Hendricks will join Kielty to discuss their new comedy-drama Small Town, Big Story. The series is set in a fictional Irish town, which becomes overrun by a Hollywood film crew.

Legendary comedian and actor Steve Coogan will make an appearance before his upcoming performance of Dr. Strangelove at the Bord Gáis Theatre. He’ll talk with Kielty about the iconic character of Alan Partridge, and finally receiving an Irish passport.

Katherine Ryan, Canadian stand-up comedian, will discuss her Irish roots, her 2025 UK and Ireland tour, and her marriage to her highschool sweetheart Bobby Kootstra.

Chart-topping R&B singer Gabrielle will be performing on Friday’s show, ahead of her concert at Dublin’s 3Arena in March.

Kielty took over from Ryan Tubridy as The Late Late Show’s presenter in 2023. He is the fourth permanent presenter of the live talk show.

The Late Late Show broadcasts live on Friday, 9:35pm on RTÉ One.
