The Tipperary comedy team of Johnny B and Johnny Smacks hosts “Drive It with The 2 Johnnies” Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m.

In February 2022, The 2 Johnnies - who also present their well-liked podcast - took over the drivetime position.

RTÉ 2FM host Dan Healy confirmed the news on Tuesday afternoon, saying, “After two very successful years, The 2 Johnnies are leaving 2FM.”

This Friday, May 31st, is the last show the duo will perform for the station.

“Across Ireland, 2FM listeners have been treated to the unique South Tipp humour and intriguing musical selections of Johnny B and Johnny Smacks.”

“The drivetime programme has had a loyal following from the beginning, and the most recent listenership figures confirmed this.”

“They've been a great part of the 2FM family here, and we'll be sad to see them go but wish them well as they continue their adventures,” Healy said.

Thanking the crew and fans of the show, Johnny B and Johnny Smacks described the event as “unreal craic.”

“We wish 2FM's wonderful employees all the success in the world. They are amazing people.

“Who knows, we may be back on the radio someday, but for now, as we say on the show. We’re out the gap!”

The news was made two weeks after host of the breakfast programme Doireann Garrihy said she would be leaving the station after five years, with a May 31st departure date.
