The Late Late Show will do a special show live from London in October, with host Ryan Tubridy telling RTÉ Entertainment that it will be "a show like you've never seen before."
"It is my tenth year doing the Late Late Show and there is something a little bit special happening this year that we're very very excited about," Tubridy said at the RTÉ autumn launch.
"For the first time in the ten years that I've been doing the show, we are bringing the whole team, the program and everything to London. We're doing a broadcast from London city in October for a live broadcast, so we're very excited about that."

The broadcast will be fully live and filmed in front of an audience of "over a thousand people."
Speaking about the decision to bring an episode of the long-running talk show to the UK, Tubridy said the show how Ireland and Britain have "never been closer culturally" despite Brexit being "problematic."
"We think ultimately that Brexit is problematic and we think Brexit is economically a bad place to be, however there are enormously important ties that bind our country with the UK down through the years," Tubridy told RTÉ Entertainment.
"So many of our family and friends live over there, they're there and part of that story. And culturally, Irish people have given a lot to the UK, as well as us getting it back.
"The point we're trying to make is that, right, Brexit is a problem, right, economically we're distanced, but we've never been closer culturally, and we're going over to do that, to shake hands across the Irish Sea and celebrating the Irish in Britain."
The Late Late Show returns to RTÉ One on Friday, September 7.
