Comedian Dara Ó Briain spoke about attending the All-Ireland Football Final earlier this year alongside Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty, Line of Duty actor Adrian Dunbar and Normal People star Paul Mescal.
The four high-profile Irish figures were tasked by BBC Sport with giving their thoughts during its TV coverage of the match between Kerry and Dublin in Croke Park.
With Kielty showing Ó Briain a photo of the four of them in the stands during Ó Briain's interview on Friday night's Late Late Show, the Bray comedian quipped, "Four lads blagging free tickets to an All-Ireland Football Final off the BBC... very much pushing Mescal to the front - he very much can be the ambassador for the four of us!"
He added that it was a "glorious, beautiful day."
Kielty commented, "You say 'four lads' but I think there are three middle aged men there, thinking to themselves, 'Aren't we cool?' and there's one person who is cool going, 'Where's my car?'", referring to Mescal.
Ó Briain agreed and said, "I was in Melbourne doing a gig and I went past Chanel or Louis Vuitton and there's a picture of one of those four men in the window looking gorgeous. Guess who it was."
"Adrian Dunbar!" interjected Kielty, to which Ó Brian responded, "I wasn't looking at my own face.
"Mescal was very much competing in a different league to the rest of us."
Ó Briain also spoke about performing in the Sydney Opera House alongside fellow guest, comedian Joanne McNally, to "an entirely Irish audience".
Playing to an Irish crowd meant the comedian could tailor his jokes to the audience.
He told host Kielty, "I was allowed to say things like, 'It's great to be in Australia - I'm here for six shows, then I have to work for 88 days on a farm and then I'm gonna work for another two shows,'" referencing the Visa requirement for Irish immigrants to complete regional work, often on farms, in order to be allowed to stay in the country.
Ó Briain said that his fellow Australian comics didn't quite understand the joke.
The comedian also discussed being 2% Welsh, having to have his knee rebuilt as a result of an injury and "fantasy massage" as part of the appearance.
The Late Late Show, Fridays, RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, 9.35pm.
