10. Dara O’Briain – one of our favourite funny men
This Irish comedian and television presenter is one of the most iconic Irish TV personalities and one who never ceases to make us laugh.
Our evenings are certainly sorted when we see shows such as The Panel or Mock the Week on TV, both of which are presented by O’Briain.
9. Vogue Williams – an iconic Irish reality star
Since she appeared on Fade Street, we couldn’t help but want to follow along with her career as a budding DJ, presenter, and model.
Now that she has her string of reality series, we still can’t get enough. Along with her hubby Spencer Matthews, the two entertain us with the ins and outs of their daily lives with young kids.
8. Alan Hughes – the man who kicks off our mornings
Best known for his role on a popular morning show, Ireland AM, Alan Hughes has quickly become a big part of many Irish families around the country.
His upbeat personality and quick wit make him a hit with those who love a good dose of morning TV. Personally, we can’t imagine the show without him.
7. Jennifer Zamparelli – a beloved Irish comedian and presenter
Known for the hilarious sitcoms Bridget & Eamon and Republic of Telly, Jennifer Zamparelli has won the hearts of the Irish nation.
Her sense of humour and talents make us love her. We cannot wait to see what she gets up to next on our telly boxes.
6. Donal Skehan – the Kitchen Hero with the goods
There is no one we would rather watch to give us some tips in the kitchen than our lad Donal Skehan. This genius is always on hand with some epic recipes.
He is well known for his love for food, which is contagious when watching his weekly series Kitchen Hero. No doubt he has inspired many cooks out there today.
5. Ryan Tubridy – host of our beloved Late Late Show
Ryan Tubridy has long been one of the most iconic Irish TV personalities we all love to watch every Friday night and every Christmas for the Toy Show Special.
Many of us look forward to a Friday night watching the Late Late Show, the second longest-running chat show in the world.
4. Laura Whitmore – the iconic Love Island presenter
Love Island fans will know her by her iconic voice and dramatic entrances.
Still, we have all known and loved her since her MTV News days, when she hosted I’m a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here Now and various other shows such as Celebrity Juice, which always has us in stitches.
3. Kathryn Thomas – the Irish world traveller
One of our absolute favourite iconic Irish TV personalities is Kathryn Thomas.
Not only because she has a way of speaking that just captivated us. Also, because she showed us the world through our TV screens and made us look forward to our No Frontiers evenings!
2. Ray D’Arcy – one of our favourite Irish presenters
When we think of classic Irish TV personalities, we cannot miss out on the man himself, Ray D’Arcy.
Many of us will remember classics such as The Den or You’re a Star, which he presented back in the day. He is also known for hosting the Rose of Tralee event and a range of other shows on RTÉ.
1. Graham Norton – one of the most iconic Irish TV personalities ever
Not a day goes by that we don’t quote a Graham Norton scene from Father Ted back in the day. And boy, did those one-liners make us laugh out loud.
These days, we love to cosy up and watch him have chats with a range of celebrities on his very own show. We just love this guy!
So, there it is, our top ten iconic Irish TV personalities we all know and love. How many can you say you’ve watched over the years?
