Speaking to Jennifer Zamparelli on RTÉ 2fm this morning, Deidre said: “The whole country is going to fall in love with PJ Gallagher on Saturday night.”
“He’s just an exceptionally funny man, and his back story is out there, and I think a lot of people don’t know it. I think people will go ‘wow, I wasn’t aware of that.'”
The TV presenter also revealed that she’ll be joined by Lucy Kennedy next Saturday, November 21st.
“My first female guest is going to be Lucy Kennedy the following week,” she said.
Deirdre O’Kane Talks Funny will uncover what makes some of Ireland’s best loved personalities tick, and celebrate careers which have entertained the nation via stage and screen.
Every Saturday night, Deirdre will get up close and personal with a number of the country’s most renowned names in intimate conversations – which promise both humour and insight as they reminisce over career highlights and share personal experiences and memories.
Peppered throughout with favourite clips of her subjects’ work, Deirdre will accompany guests down memory lane with buoyant, fun-filled chats which may reveal to viewers a different side of their favourite Irish celeb.
