Jonathan Ross fears his chat show could face the axe

Even though the new Channel 4 boss is Woss's pal he still doesn't feel safe from the axe.

Radio Times review

Plenty of opportunity for Jonathan Ross to joke about his own lazy foppishness: the testosterone will be flowing as Sylvester Stallone and Michael B Jordan, stars of the seventh Rocky movie Creed, hit the sofa. Expect a crunchy anecdote, possibly with alarming on-set footage, about how Jordan maintained Stallone's tradition of being beaten senseless for real in a scene where his character struggles through a boxing bout.

Ross also welcomes a big name who rarely chats. The imminent cinema release of tender, reflective comedy drama Youth has tempted Michael Caine out of talk-show retirement.

Radio Times review

Tonight on Jonathan Ross, a bit of a coup. Football megastar Cristiano Ronaldo makes his first-ever UK chat show appearance. Opinions vary as to whether the Real Madrid winger is a misunderstood wizard who does things with a ball nobody else could... or an egomaniac who represents everything rotten in the game. Or something of both. We can take sides tonight as he discusses his family and career ahead of a new documentary about his life.

Jonathan Ross expresses anger at Ariana Grande

Jonathan Ross has given Ariana Grande a good swear-filled tongue-lashing after she failed to show up for a recording of his show. The chat show host called the singer a 'lazy f***er' and said she was probably having 'her first Nando's' instead of turning up at the studio.

In which mostly grumpy and sometimes quite old celebs reflect on the problems that ensue when leaving the house to go to work or the shops, or even to head out on holiday or for a jolly. In more detail, that means the likes of James Corden, Jonathan Ross, Ruth Jones and Stephen Mangan discussing the guilty thrill of buying a cheap round down the pub, the seething anger that underpins making tea for office colleagues, and performance anxiety - when packing shopping at the supermarket.

Ex-Jonathan Ross and HIGNFY publicist to publish memoir

Julie Pickford has written a diary novel, but it will focus on her life in 1976, rather than her time working with ex-BBC chat-show host.

Jonathan Ross to present cookery panel show pilot

Jonathan Ross is to present a food-themed comedy panel show pilot. The format is described as a 'mouth watering, light-hearted celebration of food in all its forms'.

Radio Times review

Rumbling Russell Crowe joins Jonathan Ross to talk about his directorial debut, The Water Diviner, about an Australian farmer setting out to find the bodies of his three sons who died at Gallipoli. No one will put him off (of course), not even snooty Brits.

Also on the sofa is Elizabeth Hurley, talking about her new US drama The Royals, which looks absolutely hilarious, though I'm not sure it's meant to be funny; and Downton Abbey's Lady Rose, Lily James twinkles by to talk about playing Cinderella in a new Disney film. Don't stay after midnight, Lily!

Best of all, the comedy corner is occupied by David Mitchell, and music comes from brilliant disco funksters Chic.
