HANNAH (9) and Mikey (7) Noonan from Newcastle West appeared live from their home via Skype on the Today Show with Maura Derrane and Dáithí Ó Sé last week (Friday 3 April 2020).
The brother and sister team were selected for the RTE One programme’s “Living Room Stars’ Challenge” as a result of their #JokeADay social media campaign.
Since finishing school a few weeks ago due to the COVID-19 crisis they have used Instagram to share a daily video telling a joke together in an effort to raise the nation’s spirits.
Such is the popularity of their humour that viewers have started to send them material and they have gained a following here at home and beyond with comments from France, Poland and the USA.
Their debut TV appearance was all the more exciting for Hannah as it coincided with her 9th birthday and the Scoil Iosef pupil was wished a very special day full of celebrations by the presenters.
To enjoy a daily dose of light relief thanks to the Noonans, search for #JokeoftheDaywithHannahandMikey on Instagram.
