Clive James, The Telegraph, 23rd September 2011Tim Minchin: I like getting drunk & playing nude soccer
The Aussie funnyman is on Jonathan Ross tonight. Here he reveals his passion for naked sports, partying with beautiful women and the ploughman's lunch.
Alex Varley-Winter, Sabotage Times, 20th September 2011Kay and Jackman made for a lively Jonathan Ross Show
Three episodes in and Jonathan Ross is back on form, with a relaxed and spontaneous show full of mirth and candid discussion.
Christopher Hooton, Metro, 18th September 2011Drawing a respectable 4.3 million viewers in its first episode, Jonathan Ross's new show has precisely the same format as his old one, minus the Four Poofs and a Piano. You can hardly blame ITV for not tinkering too much, though: even when Ross was in the grips of "Sachsgate", his show managed to attract decent audiences. Tonight the loud-mouthed presenter welcomes Stephen Fry, comedian Peter Kay and Australian actor Hugh Jackman, who'll be discussing his new big-budget sci-fi movie, Real Steel.
Patrick Smith, The Telegraph, 16th September 2011Jonathan Ross loses 1m viewers
Jonathan Ross lost more than one million viewers for the second episode of his ITV show.
Nicola Methven, The Mirror, 12th September 2011The Jonathan Ross Show review
Frankly, no matter how good Jonathan Ross can still be, or what high-caliber guests he books in the future, his show's format feels dull.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 12th September 2011The Jonathan Ross Show was given a fairly low key launch last week given that it was the long-awaited return of a British talk show staple, and followed suit with a similarly muted episode.
Sarah Jessica Parker was candid and Adele as booming as ever but the line-up felt a little lacklustre for an opener.
This was rectified tonight however with an entertaining, albeit slightly random group of guests perching on the Jonathan Ross sofa.
Benedict Cumberbatch talked John Le Carre novels while The Saturdays were a little less prosaic with their insights into the pop industry, but Alan Carr proved the most interesting booking. An odd choice to invite a clear rival onto the show though perhaps, especially since the bespeckled comedian, along with Graham Norton, is arguably surpassing Ross in the talk show stakes at the moment.
With Friday Night With...'s pre-Jools Holland slot the BBC vehicle often saw some good live music and it was pleasing to see that this is to be kept up on ITV, with tonight's performance coming from legendary funksters The Red Hot Chili Peppers, sans departed guitarist John Frusciante.
Christopher Hooton, Metro, 10th September 2011Not the second coming, just business as usual for Ross
It was the chin that gave him away. Jonathan Ross, who since his departure from the BBC following the Sachsgate affair has been advertising his devil-may-care, unemployed status with flip-flops and a goatee, stepped on to the set fully shod and shorn of all facial hair.
Fiona Sturges, The Telegraph, 5th September 2011Business as usual for Jonathan Ross
Thank God he's got rid of that goatee. But happily that was the only trademark he scrapped for the all-new Jonathan Ross Show.
