The final Tommy Tiernan Show of the current season was one to remember and it wasn't difficult to tell which of the three guests was the host's favourite.
Irish singing legend Dolores Keane had Tommy captivated as she discussed her beginnings in music, her struggles with alcoholism and much more.
Dolores' personality shone through as she chatted openly to the stand-up comedian, and even treated him to a wonderful rendition of one of his favourite songs.

One particularly touching moment in Dolores' interview saw the 69-year-old address the audience, after describing the loneliness of living on her own as "horrible" and something she wouldn't wish on anyone.
"It's mind over matter," Dolores said, before she turned and addressed the crowd.
"And the same to everyone here. I hope your troubles are few and that whatever you are going through, ye will be better. Believe me. Ye'll be better."
Dolores was hailed as a national treasure on social media and many were reduced to tears, with Tommy not the only person drawn in by the musician's words.
"Dolores Keane is a true reflection of Ireland, so much live lived, so much inner turmoil, so much given to us, so much hope, so much strength. I pray she finds an end to her loneliness," one social media user posted.
Another wrote: "Feck sake, Dolores Keane has me crying. What a wonderful lady."
A third added: "Dolores Keane a wonderful inspirational lady… kind, compassionate and honest."
