Who is joining Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late Show tonight and what time is it on?

This week's Late Late Show has a stellar line-up with Ireland's newest cycling hero Sam Bennett, top US doctor Anthony Fauci and former President Mary McAleese all joining Ryan Tubridy tonight.

Also in studio will be Ireland's favourite twins Jedward, boxing world champion Kellie Harrington, Niamh Fitzpatrick, sister of late pilot Dara Fitzpatrick and singer Robert Grace to provide musical entertainment.

After his phenomenal success at the Tour de France, green jersey winner Sam Bennett will be chatting to Ryan about realising his childhood dream with the biggest win of his career to date.

With Covid-19 cases on the rise in Ireland and globally, top US infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci will be speaking about the fight the US and the world face as we head into winter.

Meanwhile, Ireland's second female president Mary McAleese will join Ryan to talk about her seminal memoir about her two historic presidential terms and an extraordinary life, both in and out of the public eye.

She will discuss everything from how her childhood in a bitterly divided Belfast shaped her, to her wedding day being marred by tragedy.

Another sporting champion will also be sharing her story of success as well as her experience as a frontline worker.

Kellie Harrington will reveal why she swapped the boxing ring for working on the frontline this year, and how this has given her a different perspective on life.

And Jedward will open up about how they use their social media platforms to raise awareness and spread positive messages as well as chatting about their 11 years in the spotlight and the tragic loss of their beloved mum.

Niamh Fitzpatrick will also share her experience of losing a loved one after the death of pilot sister Dara in the Rescue 116 helicopter crash in 2017.

And rising star Robert Grace will entertain the audience at home with his single Fake Fire.

The Late Late Show airs at 9.35pm on RTE One tonight.
