It's a cliche at this stage to note that it sometimes feels as though the Late Late Show guests are selected via who happens to be sitting in the RTÉ canteen on a given evening.
If that's how Joe Brolly ended up chatting to Ryan Tubridy last night, long may that system continue to be utilised.
Brolly made an intense appearance on The Late Late Show last night, first talking about his experience as an organ donor and how that has affected him.
He then proceeded to speak about cystic fibrosis and used the prime time vehicle to demonstrate what it's like to live with the condition.
