15 Of The Best Twitter Reactions To Michael D’s Interview On The Late Late Show

mariemadden

If you decided to stay in last night, you picked a good Friday to do it as the line-up for The Late Late Show was actually pretty decent.

Among the guests were Paralympic champions Ellen Keane and Niamh McCarthy, Can’t Cope Won’t Cope creator Stefanie Preissner, Love/Hate‘s John Connors and comedian Jess Thom, who spoke candidly about her experiences with Tourette’s Syndrome.

Of course, one man stole the show and that was our President himself, Michael D Higgins.

After being welcomed with a standing ovation, he gave a hugely engaging interview and it’s fair to say the whole country was charmed.

Here are some of the best reactions…

I refuse to believe there is a cuter president of a country than our one #Michaeld #LateLateShow
