Meeting One Direction a big night for Jonathan Ross

Welcoming the boy band One Direction to his ITV chat show could land Jonathan Ross a new young audience.

Chris Ramsey interview

Stand-up and Hebburn actor Chris Ramsey has claimed that the fallout from the Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross Sachsgate incident is still being felt.

After buying a house with a tennis court attached, Jonathan Ross developed a love of the game that finds him knocking up with a comedy coterie including Michael McIntyre, Jimmy Carr and David Baddiel. Tips from a Wimbledon champion are quite another thing, though, and having predicted that Andy Murray would triumph earlier this year, Ross welcomes him to the sofa to relive his glories.

They're joined by Celine Dion, whose new studio album Loved Me Back To Life is her first big English-language release since 2007. Perhaps unfairly, neither Murray nor Dion are known for their comedy punchlines, so Johnny Vegas and John Barrowman will be bringing the funny.

Jonathan Ross guest list is as flat as a pancake

Jonathan Ross's guest list is as flat as a pancake while Graham Norton picks the cherries. Even Alan Carr's Chatty Man is putting Ross to shame as he is forced to plug ITV's mediocre shows.

While Jonathan Ross had to content himself interviewing stars of an ITV show last Saturday (the X Factor judges), Norton once again lures some global, glittery names on to his sofa.

His old mate, the indefatigable Sir Elton John, will perform Voyeur and be interviewed fresh from the triumphant release of his well-received 31st studio album, The Diving Board. He'll be joined by the mighty Dame Judi Dench, whose name is already being mentioned in the same breath as "Oscar nomination" for her role in the new film Philomena, as an Irish mother searching for the child she was forced to give up for adoption. Ever reliable John Bishop will be in the comedy corner.

Microsoft hires Jonathan Ross to work on Xbox One games

Television presenter and veteran gamer Jonathan Ross is likely to be advising on cross-platform titles spanning games, TV and music.

Now firmly ensconced in the Friday night post-news slot made desirable by Jonathan Ross, Norton has shown a similar ability to lure in the A-listers. The first episode of this latest run of his chatshow (series 14, if you're counting) is, oddly, an all-male affair, with Harrison Ford and Benedict Cumberbatch filling the Hollywood quota, and Jack Whitehall continuing his career-long tiptoe along the line between cheeky and thoroughly obnoxious. Maudlin strummy type James Blunt performs his new single.

Jonathan Ross: 'I have bounce in my step again now'

Jonathan Ross says he is ready to reclaim his title from Graham Norton after admitting that ITV has yet to see the best of him.

"It's a great time to be alive and a fun time to be in show business"

That Puppet Game Show, co-produced by Muppet creators The Jim Henson Company, offers genuinely inventive games, lots of funny backstage banter, non-stop madcap energy, two authentic celebrities as contestants - Jonathan Ross and Katherine Jenkins in episode one - and a host of loveable puppet characters, including some singing Scottish sausages. Now that's what I call fun.
