Dublin Native Domhnall Gleeson Welcomes TODAY to Ireland
Ireland filled the upload shelf. Across fifteen new releases, TODAY made room for a Dublin welcome from Domhnall Gleeson, a sheep-farm visit and presenters trying something beyond their usual morning-show duties.
"Dublin Native Domhnall Gleeson Welcomes TODAY to Ireland" was the week's most-watched new upload, reaching roughly 22,000 views. Gleeson, familiar to movie audiences as General Hux in Star Wars and the time-traveling romantic lead of About Time, supplied a recognizable face for the trip. In the comments, viewers brought up those acting credits, but also something considerably more everyday: the crisp sandwich, with several insisting that tea belongs alongside it.
The rest of the Irish itinerary had a pleasingly hands-on streak. Carson Daly visited The Golf Course at Adare Manor, while "Craig Melvin Plays the Violin in Ireland" came with a thank-you to U2 and Music Generation for the surprise. Sheinelle's dance lesson took place at Crowley's Bar in Kenmare with dancers Isabelle and Laura. History and sheep farming rounded out the travel lineup.
Across the whole channel, weekly views topped ten million and subscribers continued to grow. Daily viewing is substantially above TODAY's usual level, a lift also evident at fellow morning shows Good Morning America and CBS Mornings. Among TODAY's own uploads, the Gleeson welcome is currently drawing the most daily views, followed by the Irish history and sheep-farm pieces: three different ways into the same destination.
