'I apologise in advance' - US comic Conan O'Brien set to appear on TG4's Ros na Rún
Ros na Rún is also going to feature on the comedian's travel show this week on HBO
Legendary US comedian and late night talk show host Conan O'Brien is set to make an appearance on long running Irish series Ros na Rún.
The Irish American comic will cameo on an upcoming episode on Tuesday April 30 and the show will also feature on his HBO travel series, Conan O'Brien Must Go, this Thursday, April 18.
"Getting to work with the cast and crew of Ros na Rún was a delightful highlight of my trip", O'Brien said, "and I apologise in advance for inadvertently butchering my mother tongue."
Earlier this year, O'Brien traced his Irish roots back to Galbally in Co. Limerick, which was the native home to his great-grandfather.
Series producer of Ros na Rún, Marion Ni Loinsigh, described having the funny-man request to be on the show as "thrilling".
"Who better to pair the famous US TV personality and comedian with than our very own leading legend Tadgh Ó Direáin, played by Macdara Ó Fátharta?", she added.
"It was fun to create and film, and audiences will see a perfect delivery of Gaeilge by HBO's Conan O'Brien in what is an abrupt but entertaining exchange with Tadhg."
