"I think some people in his office or even he was saying our 14 years have been pretty much paralleled - obviously his in a much more important, lofty way and me in my own small way in TV Land! He's always been very generous with his time, and I appreciate the invitation."
Ryan will host his last ever Late Late Show this Friday after being at the helm for the last 14 years. It will be on RTE One and RTE Player every Friday at 9:35pm.
