Cummins, an apprentice electrician, will reveal if the guys she works with are treating her any differently now she’s the Rose of Tralee, and in the Parish Quiz Aisling from Killeedy in Co. Limerick will take on Tadhg from Nurney in Co. Kildare.<\/p>\n

Johnny B said: “A comedian, a national hero and 2 Johnnies walk into a bar\u2026 it’s can only be The Late Night Lock In. There\u2019s no show like it on telly. It\u2019s hot, sweaty and loose. The questions you\u2019d only ask after a few jars, great Irish music and a pub full of nutters up for the craic.”<\/p>\n

Johnny Smacks added: “Somehow they\u2019ve let us back on the telly for series 3, and this time we\u2019re dragging the public into the madness with us. More craic, more chaos, and more people embarrassing themselves on national TV \u2014 including us.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the only show where your neighbour might end up blindfolded, eating cat food, and still call it a great night out. We\u2019ve got brand new madness, even dodgier games, the return of The Parish Quiz and guests who should probably know better.<\/p>\n

“So put on the kettle and get the good biscuits out we will see ya Thursday night on the telly.”<\/p>\n

Watch The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In on RT\u00c92 and RT\u00c9 Player at 9.35pm.<\/p>\n
