The Graham Norton Show will be celebrating the start of December by welcoming two of Hollywood's most beloved stars to its red sofa.
Graham Norton will host Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks on the show on December 1, with the Academy Award-winning stars being among the first American actors to appear on the popular chat show after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
In her first-ever appearance, Roberts will be promoting her new psychological thriller Leave the World Behind, written and directed by Mr Robot creator Sam Esmail.

Coming to Netflix on December 8 after a limited cinema run, the film stars Roberts as Amanda Sandford, vacationing on Long Island with her family when two strangers announce news of a mysterious blackout looming.
"As the threat grows more imminent, both families must decide how best to survive the potential crisis, all while grappling with their own place in this collapsing world," the film's official synopsis reads.
What to Read Next
Alongside Roberts, who also served as producer, Leave the World Behind stars Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la, and Kevin Bacon.

Meanwhile, Hanks will be detailing the London installation The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks, an experience that promises to offer an unique perspective on past and future voyages to the moon. Narrated by the Forrest Gump and Castaway star, the exhibition opens on December 6 and runs until 21 April, 2024.
The two actors, who appeared together in 2011 romcom Larry Crowne, will be joined by Norton's special musical guest.
Legendary singer Cher (who also has an Academy Award under her belt for 1990's Moonstruck) will appear on the show for a chat and to perform her current single 'DJ Play A Christmas Song'.
The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday nights at 10.40pm on BBC One.
