The Late Late Show is back and everyone is saying the same thing about it

Irish people think alike in a lot of ways…

So you’re reading this. That means you’re not at Electric Picnic. If you wanted to go, and just couldn’t get a ticket, you have our condolences. If you’re happy enough to be curled up on your couch, you’re very welcome and thanks for clicking in and deciding to read this article.

It’s the first Late Late Show of the current season and its reappearance on our screens is a sign that summer is over and we can look forward to shorter days and longer nights for the foreseeable future.

Appearing on the Late Late Show on Friday night are Henry and Deirdre Shefflin, Picture This, Megan Halvey-Ryan, Dr Eva Orsmond and there’s also an appearance from Ireland’s most expensive lamb.

And it was the most expensive lamb in Ireland that stole the show when it made its appearance.

Seamus Brennan from Donegal paid €15,000 for this lamb at an auction and is using him to fertilise his flock of sheep.

He appeared on the Late Late Show to show off his prized lamb, and people were fascinated by the interview.

We were all thinking it
