TJ Reid, the all-time leading championship scorer, will chat about his retirement from inter-county hurling and reflect on his many highlights.
Recently retired Kilkenny senior hurler TJ Reid will be amongst the guests on this week’s Late Late Show.
According to a promo for the iconic RTÉ programme, the all-time leading championship scorer will chat to about his retirement from inter-county hurling, reflect on his many highlights.
The Shamrocks Ballyhale stalwart called time on his time in black and amber at the beginning of the month, winning seven All-Irelands, 14 Leinster Championships, five National Leagues and seven All-Stars over a decorated two decades in a Kilkenny jersey.
“I have no regrets. I didn't leave through injuries. I left on my own terms,” Reid told Kilkenny People Sport.
“I was ready for it. When you're just touching 39, after 20 years in the jersey, you're ready for it.
“I'm very much steeped in Kilkenny. It was a privilege to represent the jersey for 20 years. Did I know when I started in 2007 that I'd be here 20 seasons later? I didn't. But I felt it was my duty every year to be ready for Kilkenny,” he commented.
"A few days before I announced it on Friday, the subconscious mind was kicking in, and sleep wasn't great. I have to say, since Friday, I've slept with a smile on my face.”
Also joining Kielty on Friday night will be the multi-talented Nicola Coughlan. She'll discuss her new hard-hitting drama I Am Helen, what it was like hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL) UK, hanging out with her comedy heroes and heading back to the world of Bridgerton.
Comic Neil Delamere will be in studio as he prepares to head out on the road with his latest stand-up tour, Neil's on Wheels. He'll speak about the audience members he loves to chat to, the Irish urge to play fast and loose with the rules and making friends after 40.
Cork pop powerhouse Lyra will also feature to provide a musical tribute to Shane MacGowan as well as sharing some exciting personal news.
