John Creedon (born 1958), also known as "Creedo", is an Irish language enthusiast and veteran broadcaster with RTÉ Radio.

Host of The John Creedon Show, weekday evenings 8-10pm on RTÉ Radio 1, he has also filled in for Dave Fanning on The Dave Fanning Show.

1960

Creedon travels along this tourist route in his 1960s VW campervan.

After his turn on Fáilte Towers, journalist and RTÉ colleague Joe O'Shea described Creedon's personality as being that of "somebody who gives space to others and is not intent on sucking up all of the available on-screen oxygen".

1969

His family's two-week holiday took place in 1969 with his eleven brothers and sisters who travelled across Ireland with a borrowed caravan.

Creedon recreated the trip over forty years later and explored how the country had changed.

Creedon's next television series was titled 'Creedon's Cities' in which he visited the four major cities in the Republic of Ireland; Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork.

1990

Terence was a frequent contributor to The Gerry Ryan Show in the early 1990s.

1992

Creedon won a Jacob's Award in 1992 for his RTÉ Radio 1 morning show, Risin' Time.

Over the years, Creedon has hosted shows on RTÉ Radio One at various times of the day.

2006

The Creedon Show (15:30) was replaced by a programme hosted by Ronan Collins in 2006.

This change followed new radio chief, Ana Leddy's decision to move him on as part of widespread alterations across the station.

John also hosted Late Date on RTÉ Radio 1 for some time prior to his move to the current 8 to 10pm slot.

2007

In 2007, his granddaughter Lucie was born prematurely to his daughter, Katie, who suffered from kidney problems as a child.

Lucie died eight and a half weeks later.

Commenting on the win, Creedon said: "The big fat guy never wins anything, this is great."

After his victory, he presented a show for the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and partook in TG4 series Faoi Lan Cheoil where, alongside Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons and international and Premier League footballer Andy Reid, he learnt a new musical instrument over six months in preparation for a public performance.

Creedon was then a judge on The All Ireland Talent Show, representing the south of the country alongside Michael Healy-Rae and Sinéad Sheppard.

Judge Creedon warned fellow judge Dáithí Ó Sé to stop stealing acts from Munster, alleging that he invaded County Clare in series one and that he would be "answerable to me and to my gang" if he continued to persist.

2008

His profile in Ireland was raised by his participation in and eventual winning of the reality television series, Fáilte Towers in August 2008.

Creedon has also served as a judge on The All Ireland Talent Show on RTÉ One and TG4's Glór Tíre.

He has also presented multiple television series on RTÉ of him road tripping across Ireland showcasing Ireland's history, geography, along with some lesser known stories of the areas he visits.

Creedon's career began with an initial failed audition for a job on RTÉ 2fm, but he went on to twice top the Irish Singles Chart with his character, Terence the Cork hairdresser.

In August 2008 Creedon took part in the reality television series, Fáilte Towers, a show that saw a group of well-known personalities attempt to run a hotel for a two-week period whilst earning money for charity.

Creedon was proclaimed winner of the show on 17 August 2008.

Creedon selected Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin as his charity for the show due to his personal involvement with the hospital in the past.

In March 2008, it was to Creedon's radio show that befuddled Irish listeners turned when RTÉ shut down its 82-year-old medium wave service.

Within hours of the shutdown, they were contacting John Creedon's RTÉ radio show, "wondering how they could tune in to the newfangled VHF – or “VHI’’, as one gentleman insisted on calling it".

In an interview about his television series 'Creedon's Shannon' he talks of an old review of him that called him a "third rate presenter".

While it did upset him at the time he recalls that his daughter Nanci told him "I’d rather be a third-rate presenter than a first-rate critic" a sentiment to which he says “I’ve kept that one in my back pocket, d’you know?”.

Creedon was raised with eleven siblings.

He claimed in a 2008 Late Late Show interview that he once worked in a Penneys branch.

He previously lived in Goatstown, Dublin, but now resides in Cork on a hill overlooking the city centre.
