Zig and Zag

Zig and Zag are an Irish puppet duo performed by Mick O'Hara and Ciaran Morrison. The characters are a pair of furry extraterrestrial twins from the planet Zog. They made their television début on RTÉ's, Dempsey's Den, in 1987. A year later they won a Jacob's Award for TV Personalities of the year. In 1992 Zig and Zag found fame in the UK when they joined the team of the Channel 4 breakfast show The Big Breakfast. During the 1990s the characters spawned a merchandising range of comic books, videos and embarked on a recording career – scoring a UK top five single with "Them Girls Them Girls". In 2010 the characters saw a resurgence in their popularity as they joined the Big Brother's Little Brother team and in October 2010 they were commissioned to host a flagship Saturday morning radio show on 2FM called Smells Like Saturday. A brand new TV bloopers show hosted by Zig and Zag entitled Zig & Zag's Superbloopers was announced on the RTE TV website in June 2011 with a full series of the show broadcast in September 2012. In April 2015, it was announced that the duo would return in 2016 with a 26 episode animated series commissioned by RTE and the BBC.
