"Day one - I was on with Mark Cagney and Amanda Byram. It's so funny to look back at it and to see myself and Mark and Amanda that morning.
"The show has evolved so much. At the core of it people are tuning in in the morning to get their news, get what the weather is like because we're obsessed with weather in this country and then get a cooking slot." Joining them on the couch will be Ireland AM’s very first guest, actor Pat Shortt, along with comedian Mario Rosenstock, who will also drop by for the festivities. "The Man With Ten Siblings" Seamus O’Reilly will reunite with presenter Tommy Bowe to chat about their viral moment that took over the internet.
