Late Late Show star Adam King leads the Late Late Show this week alongside a host of Irish business owners.
The break-out star and his dad David will join Ryan ahead of the release of David's new book 'A Hug for You'.
They will talk about their incredible year since Adam first melted our hearts with his Virtual Hug and how his story continues to inspire people around the world.
And bosses have teased that Adam's wish to present The Late Late Show may be about to come true.
Irish chef and entrepreneur Clodagh McKenna and husband Harry Herbert will also be on the show to speak to Ryan about their lives together at his Highclere Estate (aka Downton Abbey).
The rest of the Late Late Show will be a special show dedicated to Taking Care of Business this week.
Back by popular demand, host Ryan Tubridy issued a national call-out on his Instagram for local small-to-medium sized Irish businesses in October to apply to be in with a chance of featuring on the show.
Applicants responded in their droves from across the country and Friday night’s show will see the 16 Irish entrepreneurs who have been selected from all corners of the country showcase their products.
The brave innovators will demonstrate their tenacity, resourcefulness and embody the spirit of optimism that will ignite a jobs-led recovery in a post-pandemic era.
The Late Late Show will be devoted to promoting the very best of what Irish businesses have to offer across various sectors and will exhibit a host of products from dozens of additional Irish businesses throughout the show.
There will also be a musical performance from Derry's latest musical prodigy, Roe, who will sing her rendition of The Cranberries classic 'I Can't Be With You'.
