The 2 Johnnies return to our TV screens tonight with their hit chat show. Season three of the award winning, hit comedy entertainment series The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In is back on our screens, and promises to "celebrate the very best of all things Irish". The new season is described by show bosses as an "unmissable and unpredictable hour of celebrity guests, live music, stand up comedy and surprise visits to members of the public out and about on the streets of Ireland" and "the party-in-a-pub everyone will want to be at". To kick off the show's return, Johnny B and Johnny Smacks are joined by former champion jockey Davy Russell, stand up comic Russell Kane and Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins. There will also be a game of Dating or Related? on the streets of Laois and Dan McCabe sings a very special version of his hit Grace. Davy Russell chats about broken bones and injuries through the years, being the designated driver on nights out, the night his buddy was covered in sheep faeces and had to strip off in the back of Davy's car and getting stopped by a Garda. Newly crowned Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins, who is an apprentice electrician, discusses if the guys she works with are treating her any differently now that she's the Rose - she insists "they don't give a sh*t" but they like her new car. Russell Kane chats celebrating his 50th birthday in Ibiza and making a conscious decision to optimise his fitness and health. In the Parish Quiz Aisling from Killeedy in Co. Limerick takes on Tadhg from Nurney in Co. Kildare. Johnny B said: "A comedian, a national hero and 2 Johnnies walk into a bar… it can only be The Late Night Lock In. "There's no show like it on telly. It's hot, sweaty and loose. The questions you'd only ask after a few jars, great Irish music and a pub full of nutters up for the craic." Johnny Smacks added: "Somehow they've let us back on the telly for season three, and this time we're dragging the public into the madness with us. "More craic, more chaos, and more people embarrassing themselves on national TV — including us. "It's the only show where your neighbour might end up blindfolded, eating cat food, and still call it a great night out. "We've got brand new madness, even dodgier games, the return of The Parish Quiz and guests who should probably know better. So put on the kettle and get the good biscuits out, we will see ya Thursday night on the telly." The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In airs Thursdays at 9.35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
