The 2 Johnnies may have hung up their mics but they’re not stepping away from the limelight.
Earlier this summer they confirmed that they would be finishing up with RTÉ 2FM after two years on air.
They admitted that they had to hang up their mics as they feared they would be “burnt out”.
Now they’re no longer spending their afternoons speaking to the nation, they have been able to focus on other projects.
And it looks like one of those projects is something to do with the telly.
According to The Irish Sun, they are working on a new quiz show entitled Snapshot.
It’s reported that the show will air on RTÉ and is being produced by TV company ShinAwil. The company is behind some of the nation’s biggest hits including Dancing with the Stars, Home of the Year, Celebrity Masterchef Ireland and The Voice of Ireland.
“Hosting live TV and reading autocue was something that was totally new to the two lads, but they took direction really well,” ShinAwil boss Larry Bass told the publication.
“It’s a game changer for them, just as Jennifer Zamparelli was famous for Republic of Telly and Bridget & Eamon, but hosting Dancing with the Stars took her to a new audience”.
A pilot has been commissioned and if it gets the green light it could air as soon as autumn.
