WATCH: The O'Donovan brothers owning the couch on Graham Norton's New Year's Eve special

Legends.

GRAHAM NORTON’S NEW Year spectacular looks like it might be worth staying in for.

PastedImage-28721 Youtube Youtube

The O’Donovan brothers from Skibbereen are set to appear on the show on Saturday, along with Hollywood stars Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, James McEvoy and Frank Skinner.

Their hilarious post-race interviews at the Rio Olympics during the summer went viral all over the world, so they were fitting guests to see in the New Year.

Judging by this teaser, they’re just as amusing, with French actress Marion Cotillard absolutely lost by their accents.

Take a look here if you can’t wait until Saturday. They talk about Skibbereen, their medals, and that dude who got a tattoo of Pull Like A Dog on his arm.

    The best part is Marion Cotillard trying so hard for the entire interview to understand what they are saying and failing anyway!
