It's the last Late Late Show of January this Friday night- which means either you'll be at home watching and counting your last morsels until payday, or you just got paid and you don't give a toss who is on because you is RICH.
For the former, joining Ryan will be Striking Out stars Amy Huberman and Maria Doyle Kennedy to chat about the second season of the legal drama, currently showing on RTÉ. Amy will be talking about taking Striking Out to an American audience while Orphan Black star Maria will chat about her celebrated career in music and joining Caitriona Balfe on the hit series Outlander.
