The season season is due to return in just six weeks’ time, with the show airing on RTE 2 during October and November, the Irish Sun reports.“They learned a lot and they’ll have all that experience for season two.One half of the duo Johnny B hinted to RSVP Magazine earlier this year that the popular programme may make a return, telling us: "I’d say so.
The comedy duo departed 2fm around the same time as Doireann Garrihy and Jennifer Zamparelli, with Donncha O'Callaghan following suit later in the summer. At the time, Johnny Smacks said: "We’ve had unreal craic over the last two and half years working on 2FM. We came in with the idea to have a laugh on the afternoons and cheer people up and get more mad scones on the radio from every county in Ireland telling stories and auld yarns. After two and a half years my jaws need a rest from all the laughing.
Johnny B added: "We’ve loved our time on the show. The team are legends, our sister Aifric O Connell, the great Aindriú de Paor, Producers Caroline, and Anita. Our listeners have been the funniest, maddest, soundest crowd alive. The stories they’ve come on air to tell have been outrageous. It’s made me proud to be Irish to talk with the nation every evening. The Parish Quiz has thrown up some wild characters, we’ve tried to reach every inch of the island of Ireland.
