In the fourth episode of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In the lads are joined by Dancing with the Stars judge Karen Byrne, stand up comedian Andrew Ryan and former professional football player and manager Roddy Collins.
Karen Byrne tells the guys why she's addicted to dancing and how hard it was to find a dance partner in Ireland let alone Ballyfermot when she was a teenager. Karen also shares her thoughts on nerves during her first episode as a DWTS judge and her attitude towards faking it until you make it!
Former footballer and manager Roddy Collins chats to the lads about playing for 19 different clubs. Roddy recalls the time he played with his idol George Best and went into a frenzy! He also shares the secret to a happy marriage after 42 years with his wife Caroline.
Cork comedian Andrew Byrne gets the crowd laughing with tales of dating and his Baby Reindeer nickname. Andrew also has some thoughts on Ireland's naval fleet and why members of the Irish navy are like Guards and teachers.
In the Parish Quiz student teacher Lauren Ferry from Gaoth Dobhair in Co. Donegal and postman Michael Connolly from Mount Bellew in Co. Galway go head to head. Who'll scoop the grand prize? It's either an all expenses paid trip to Vegas or a bag of animal feed! Tune in to see who knows their parish best.
Tullamore trio Chasing Abbey are in the pub performing their song Ar s is Ar s.
Series three of the award winning, hit comedy entertainment series The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In crashes back onto your screens tonight on RT 2, celebrating the very best of all things Irish. 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. It's the party-in-a-pub everyone will want to be at!
For this and lots more chaotic craic tune in to The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In tonight on RT 2 and RT Player at 9:35pm.
