Claudia Winkleman is welcoming a Friends icon to her show tonight – but who else is on?

One wrote on X after last Friday’s show: “The Claudia Winkleman Show has officially found its feet, that was a brilliant night of entertainment.

“Knew with a bit of tweaking it would be perfection, and that episode was probably better than recent eps of The GN show.”

Another person added: “The Claudia Winkleman show was SO GOOD this week.”

And a third chimed in: “So far, I’m really enjoying The Claudia Winkleman Show!”

With that being said, let’s take a look at who is on The Claudia Winkleman Show tonight…

The Claudia Winkleman Show: Who is on tonight?

Friends fans, rejoice. There’s a legend in the house.

Claudia is welcoming Lisa Kudrow into her plush new studio. Lisa is obviously best known as Phoebe in the smash hit comedy Friends, but she’s just reprised her role in the sitcom The Comeback, too.

Lisa tells Claudia she slips right back into the part of Valerie when she pops the wig on. She also has a Traitors UK reveal for viewers.

Lisa explains how Valerie was inspired by Linda Rands from the BBC show. And then, as if by magic, Linda suddenly appears in the audience. Surprise!

Meanwhile, Claudia can’t help but ask Lisa about Friends (naturally). She explains how her son’s girlfriend has never watched a single episode, which he is particularly thrilled by!

Meanwhile, 50 Shades of Grey lovers will be delighted to see Jamie Dornan in the house. Jamie isn’t about to whip his clothes off, though.

The actor is hosting this week’s Saturday Night Live on Sky. But he admits: “I couldn’t be less prepared for this!”

Who else is on?

British comedian Jimmy Carr is bringing the laughs to The Claudia Winkleman Show this week. Jimmy is currently hosting The Last One Laughing but tells Claudia how he’d play it as a contestant.

“I would wear what I normally wear, a three piece [suit] and a tie and I would just full Magic Mike, Full Monty it, and grind! Lots of eye contact and super sexy,” Jimmy said, revealing his game plan.

US actress Chase Infiniti completes the line-up tonight. She can’t wait to spill the tea on working with Leonardo DiCaprio in One Battle After Another.

“My first camera test I had, I was asked to shave his [Leonardo DiCaprio] face,” Chase reveals. “I didn’t know what I was doing. I was shaking the entire time because it was an electric razor and I just kept thinking ‘What am I doing? This is Leonardo DiCaprio!'”

Nerve-wracking or what?!

What time is The Claudia Winkleman Show on tonight?

Claudia is slotting nicely into Graham Norton’s shoes on a Friday night. Just like last week, The Claudia Winkleman Show will start at 10.40pm tonight (Friday March 27, 2026).

Our favourite Traitors host does have a slightly shorter runtime than Graham, however. It will finish five minutes earlier than his show, ending at 11.25pm.

As well as Claudia’s excellent line-up, you can expect some audience participation too.

Surely you have been won over too? We have.
