Sound the Iggy Pop klaxon because the lean tune machine is tonight's star guest. Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul is also in the house to talk about new movie El Camino, joined by current queen of everything Maya Jama and the ever-charming Jack Whitehall. Sam Fender brings his gritty croon to music corner.

Wossy bids hello to The Farewell's Awkwafina, star of the tender comedy-drama and a rapper and comic besides. Plus, McFly, cricket ace Jofra Archer, music from Dermot Kennedy, and Danny Dyer, a Jonathan Ross veteran but always worth a slot - and never without a new project or 12 to plug.

Wossy is joined by a duo of singers this week: former American Idol runner-up and now Queen frontman Adam Lambert and Scary Spice herself, Mel B. Comedian Russell Howard provides the laughs, while actor Emily Mortimer chats about her new seafaring horror with Gary Oldman.

Sixty Seconds with Jonathan Ross

The TV stalwart, 58, on bum-calling celebrities, the prequel to Game Of Thrones and who he'd reject for his chat show.

Paul Simper, Metro, 12th September 2019

Fresh from his bug-chomping triumph on I'm a Celeb, Harry Redknapp settles down for a chat on the sofa, joined by another football luminary (and Liam Neeson defender), John Barnes. Naomi Campbell rounds out an eccentric collection of guests, while Dido provides the music, ahead of her first tour in 15 years.

Jonathan Ross continues his series on Eric and Ernie's attempts to break into the US market in the early 1960s. It includes members of the Morecambe family seeing some of the duo's Ed Sullivan Show appearances for the first time, while also touching on their early steps into film and colour TV.

Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 3rd January 2019

The night that Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise made their US debut on the massively influential Ed Sullivan Show with a routine more suited to Blackpool Pier, they went down like the proverbial cup of cold sick. The second time they were on, they were hitting and wrestling one another to the floor. They had learned their lesson. Jonathan Ross presents this fascinating three-part look at how the comedians fared with Stateside audiences between 1963 and 1968.

Morecambe & Wise in America review

It's a true Christmas treat, witnessing magical footage of the comedy nonpareils, seen for the first time in the UK. May our hearts bubble over with helpless laughter.

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 27th December 2018

A seasonal special launches the sixth series of the revamped entertainment show, in which Keith Lemon unsubtly introduces footage of Keith Lemon having a nose around celebrities' houses. Whether the star home-owners are more famous than usual remains to be seen, but the panel trying to guess their identity is a noticeable upgrade from C-list to B: Jonathan Ross, Lorraine Kelly and [Jimmy Carr are the individuals in the studio, ready and waiting to crack wise.
