LAST NIGHT’S LATE Late Show featured interviews with the likes of John Kavanagh, Thomas Barr, Marty Morrissey and Alison Canavan.

During the show, the Kilfenora Céilí Band treated viewers at home to a trad rendition of Smooth Criminal. Complete with Michael Jackson-inspired leaning and everything. It was…something.

We say ‘only in Ireland’ a lot, but truly this might be the most ‘only in Ireland’ thing to ever happen.
