Speaking to Belfast Life, Harrington described the city as his “second home” and said he thought he could get away with making jokes because he had been in the city for so long.
He recalled moving up at first and hearing a bus driver joking about Northern Ireland celebrating the Titanic and the like. “I think that is why I thought I could make a joke about it on a talk show,” Harrington said.
