Reacting to this news, the presenter stated that he was delighted "to be working on home ground for the first time in many, many years".

"I'm so proud of our comedy culture and it's wonderful to have a platform to showcase Irish talent to a global audience", he added. "I can't wait to see what our comedy masterminds do to get the laughter going". 

Prime Video also released this statement.

"Using his trademark wit, Graham Norton will oversee 10 of Ireland's most sought-after comedy stars, brought together to make each other laugh by using every comedic tool in the box ... without cracking a smile themselves".

"With the added bonus of some celebrity cameos, their performances will have viewers - but hopefully not their fellow stars - laughing out loud", they also added, "With the added bonus of some celebrity cameos, their performances will have viewers - but hopefully not their fellow stars - laughing out loud".
