Ciara Doherty and Claire Brock bid farewell to The Tonight Show after 14 years of creating magic. Why did they leave? Tune in for the juicy details!

In a surprising twist for Irish television, Ciara Doherty and Claire Brock, the beloved presenters of Virgin Media's Tonight Show, are set to leave the network following this weekend’s special election coverage. Viewers across the Emerald Isle have been tuning in to hear their insightful commentary and lively discussions, but alas, all good things must come to an end, especially since the flagship current affairs program is being cut from four nights a week to just two. It’s a bittersweet moment that’ll have fans reminiscing about the iconic duo’s time on air.

Ciara Doherty, known for her vibrant personality and in-depth journalistic prowess, has been a familiar face on Virgin Media for 14 years. Starting her career with the widely popular Ireland AM, Ciara transitioned to The Tonight Show in 2020 and quickly became a staple of the broadcast, delivering news and ludicrous wit to homes up and down the country. Alongside her, Claire Brock brought her own charm and expertise, crafting an engaging atmosphere that made serious topics approachable for a broad audience. Together, they made magic happen, and now, their impending departure feels like watching the last episode of a beloved series.

As the election coverage comes to a close, Ciara and Claire will take their final bows, leaving viewers eagerly speculating about what the future holds for each of them. With so much experience under their belts, it’s clear they’re not disappearing from the public eye anytime soon. Whether they’ll take a well-deserved break or dive into new ventures is yet to be seen, but fans can expect plenty of surprises from these talented ladies.

On a lighter note, did you know that the Tonight Show has had quite the lineup of presenters over the years? It’s been a veritable carousel of talent that has kept audiences returning for more. And speaking of numbers, Ciara and Claire aren't the only ones making waves – with the show being cut down to size, perhaps we'll see a return of the 'dinner party debate' style of journalism where casual conversation can lead to serious revelations. If that doesn't make you grab the popcorn, we don't know what will!
