Maura then asked the actor whether his son had ever appeared on the popular show.
Danny said: "He has been in the last the two Christmas specials.
"He pestered dad for years to be in the show and he finally got a part.
"He came in as my son that I never knew about called Blister.
"Blake's gas. His big brother plays Bono on the show and when he's out and about everyone asks him for pictures and he's wondering why they aren't asking him for pictures because he's been in the show in the show twice.
"He loves getting in and performing."
Danny then went on to speak about the musical that his dad recently wrote and how he wasn't sure about it at the start.
He explained: "You wouldn't tell dad not to do anything but when he said that he was going to do the musical I was a bit like 'What?'
"I didn't know dad had ever been to a musical so him writing one and doing one was I just thought he was off his rocker. Boy was I wrong.
