All the telly you’ll be talking about tomorrow.

DailyEdge.ie rounds up the TV shows that you’ll be tweeting about tonight and talking about tomorrow.

The Late Late Show (RTÉ One, 9.35pm)

Tonight’s Late Late Show lineup is as good as it gets: Saoirse Ronan will be on the show to discuss her illustrious career and her new movie Mary Queen of Scots, while Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly will also be in the studio to chat about Stan and Ollie. Padraig Harrington is talking about the 2020 Ryder Cup, too. On top of all of that, four young Irish people (actor Barry Keoghan, Olympic boxer Michael Conlan, journalist Ellen Coyne and blogger Rosie Connolly) will be talking about life in your twenties in Ireland today. They’re really going all out tonight!

Phone Swap (BBC One, 11.50pm) 

Dating show in which people offer their lives up for scrutiny by swapping phones with each other. In this episode, Shaquille, the musical-loving Christian who prides himself on keeping his phone clean, is shocked to discover x-rated material, non-mutual politic preferences and a shared love of musicals on his date’s phone. On the other hand, fellow singleton Dani’s phone reveals that she is a yoga teacher with a very flexible attitude to almost everything… Except veganism. 

The Graham Norton Show (BBC One, 10.35pm) 

If there’s one celebrity who consistently has us in knots with her chat show appearances, it’s Sarah Paulson. And luckily, she’s on Graham’s sofa this evening, alongside James McAvoy, Richard E Grant, Steve Coogan and John C Reilly. (Yes, The Graham Norton Show is prerecorded, just in case you’re wondering how Steve and John are going to make it from Donnybrook to London in an hour. On top of all of that, Westlife will be performing their latest single at the end of the show. Not a bad evening for telly at all!
