The JR show used to be THE premier chat show in the UK with really high profile celebs sitting on the couch. Unfortunately those days are long gone and for the last few years it's just come across as a poor man's Graham Norton show. Whomever is booking the guests for the JR show really needs to start making more of an effort as these days it's mainly just a conveyor belt of dull, uninteresting C list celebs with a VERY occasional big star. Contrast that with GN who seems to pull in multiple Hollywood A list megastars on a weekly basis. For example, GN this week had Jason Momoa, Emilia Clarke, Regina and Camila Cabello (and that's that not even a big week) whereas JR has three people from Strictly Come Dancing, one member of One Direction (remember when they were a thing), a not very well known UK comedian and somebody from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy who I have literally never heard of. Seriously ITV, start making more of an effort with this show or else put it out to pasture as at this point it's just getting embarrassing.

jboothmillard16 November 2011It was almost two years since the host of the original show left the BBC, ending his original talk show and The Film Programme, so it was good to see him in an all new chat show on ITV. Jonathan Ross here gives us his usual charming and comedic persona, it no longer has Four Poofs and a Piano and it has the breaks in between talking to the guests, but it is still a reasonable version of what we are used to. It is still the same format, three guests and a musical act for the end, jokes about gadgets and the week's news at the beginning and before introducing each guest, and Ross still being a great chat show host. Guests on the show have included Sarah Jessica Parker, Lewis Hamilton, Adele, Benedict Cumberbatch, The Saturdays, Alan Carr, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hugh Jackman, Stephen Fry, Peter Kay, Will Young, Dame Helen Mirren, Harry Hill, Louie Spence, Kasabian, Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan), Ewan McGregor, Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Cee Lo Green, Lee Evans, Jamie Oliver, Lady Gaga, Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell (video), Michael Bublé, David Walliams, Coldplay, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Noel Gallagher and many more. Very good!

marieah-1046218 October 2020Jonathan Ross is a very funny guy. I love his self effacing style of humor and is guests are always entertaining. I really think the British do this kind of thing so much better than the Americans.
