Thank you JOE readers.
We had a story earlier about an appearance by some Irish people on the Jimmy Kimmel Live talk show in the States.
The two girls and guy were in the crowd and the cameras were turned on them during Kimmel’s interview with actress Amanda Peet.
Here’s the first clip they were mentioned on, it’s at the very start so you can stop watching after 30 seconds.
“Horny Irish people living in squalor”. Yes! The trio were brought up again when Amanda Peet was chatting about awkward sex scenes.
Skip to the 1:40 mark to see that clip.

We asked our sexy JOE readers (yes, you) to help us find them and you have delivered because we’ve tracked them down.
The people Kimmel liked so much are Will Hampson from Dublin, Steph Bellew from Louth and Cli O’Driscoll from Cork.
Cli told JOE about the “horny Irish people” line: “Jimmy asked us where we were from and what we were doing in America. He didn’t know much about a J-1 so we explained.
“He asked us where we were living and he and the crowd were shocked to hear there were eight of us in a one bed apartment in Pacific Beach.
“He asked how many girls/boys and we said there were four of each and he asked were we all hooking up with each other and we were just laughing and didn’t really reply.
“That’s where he got the horny Irish thing from and he kinda ran with that himself.”
We’re huge fans of Jimmy Kimmel here in the office so we asked Cli what he was like and the setup for the show.
“The set was a lot smaller in person only 200 people in the audience. Jimmy seemed extremely professional and flew through the interviews and recordings. He was really nice.
“The audience would be in darkness and any time Irish were mentioned the lights came on and there was a camera in your face.
“He asked where we were travelling to and our next stop was Vegas to see Steve Aoki. We invited him to join us for a drink but he sadly declined.”
Amanda Peet seemed to enjoy the craic with the Will, Steph and Cli and she gave them a nice salute when she left the show.
“When Amanda was leaving the set after her interview and the cameras were off she gave us a massive wave and everyone in the audience was looking at us as if we were mental.”
The three students have been living in California for the summer so undoubtedly it’s been great craic.
They get home next week and we doubt they have a story that’ll top having a laugh with Jimmy Kimmel on national television.
Fair play to them, we are very jealous.
