Smells Like Saturday

Zig and Zag initially debuted as characters on the Irish programming block Dempsey’s Den, later gaining their own TV shows on MTV Europe and Channel 4.

Harking back to their time on the Ian Dempsey radio show on 2FM in the late Eighties Zig and Zag play lyrics from songs that sound like something else (mondegreens).

Another popular segment is the "Spot the Sausage Quiz" which takes place once a week with a lucky listener winning ‘stuff’ with every correct answer.

Ie; ‘Lady Gaga had a hit with SAUSAGE face’ This is Zig and Zag's weekly guide for events and ideas for weekend activitiesfrom all around Ireland that they have chosen for the listeners.

Zag, wanting to bring some Saturday morning classiness to the show persuades Zig to read out some poetry, however despite the classical music in the background and polite applause Zig inevitably reads out song lyrics from hot club tracks in a posh style, until Zag realises that he's been duped.

From Ryan Tubridy to Coronation Street’s Michelle Keegan, from Dr. Alban to The Sawdoctors Zig and Zag will wake up anyone for a chat.
