Sachsgate call in top 10 radio moments of all time

The infamous prank call by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand has been named one of the top ten radio moments of all time.

Gary O'Shea, The Sun, 15th April 2013

Any excuse for a Specstacular with Carr: now he's going all horse-themed for the Grand National. There's a tasty spread of guests, including Paddy McGuinness, Jonathan Ross and Kimberley Walsh, plus a look at Alan's day at the races with Russell Brand. Equine fun and games are promised, so let's hope the affable host manages to cajole a pair of guests into a pantomime horse costume. Surely X Factorists Louis Walsh and Rylan would be game for a laugh?

Jonathan Ross blames Graham Norton for lack of guests

ITV chat show host Jonathan Ross has blamed his lack of star guests on BBC rival Graham Norton.

Daily Mail, 16th March 2013

That's Jessie J under the swirl of shaving foam, and the reason she's posing like the queen of the Oompa Loompas is that she'll be shaving her hair off as part of tonight's culmination to Red Nose Day. Yes, it's time for the stunts and dares and unlikely comedy mash-ups to reach their bubbling live climax.

As ever, we can expect unmissable moments delivered by an almost obscenely starry line-up. Presenters include Michael McIntyre, Rob Brydon, John Bishop, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and (careful, now...) Russell Brand. Ricky Gervais will bring David Brent out of retirement. There are mini-eps of Call the Midwife and Fresh Meat, a cook-off between Jack Whitehall and Micky Flanagan, and of course a new novelty pop promo from Peter Kay.

The trick for viewers is to flash the cash early. Text the donation line or get out the credit card at an early stage, then relax as the night rolls by. You'll never make it through all those heartbreaking appeal films if you don't know your money's on its way.

Jonathan Ross: Jodie Marsh is bullying me

Jonathan Ross has banned Jodie Marsh from his show - claiming she was bullying him for a slot.

Laura Caroe, The Sun, 11th February 2013

Joining Jonathan Ross in the studio tonight are London-born actress Hayley Atwell, who was recently seen in William Boyd's superlative drama Restless and is starring in Monday's Black Mirror, and Hollywood actor John C Reilly, whose CV ranges from the harrowing We Need to Talk About Kevin to the farcical Talladega Nights: the Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Music comes from pop duo Hurts.
