About the Show

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross has brought cheeky laughs to British viewers for eight years now. Jonathan's interviews with A-list guests - from Tom Cruise to John Travolta to Nicole Kidman - are always candid and frequently unpredictable. His irreverent humor takes no prisoners and never lets his guests off the hook. But, with his charm and flamboyant style, he fosters an atmosphere that allows guests to relax and open up and allows the viewers in.


The show is filmed in BBC Television Centre in London. Jonathan's gags include candid confessions about his family life, snarky takes on the news, and demonstrations of odd products. His close pal, comedian Ricky Gervais, has appeared on the show eight times, more than any other guest. The house band, 4 Poofs and a Piano, performs a short song to introduce each guest. Each episode also features a special musical performer, and Jonathan has welcomed everyone from Arcade Fire to Mary J. Blige to Björk.


Friday Night with Jonathan Ross has won four BAFTAs, a British Comedy Award, Broadcast Award, and the Indie Award for Best Entertainment Program.
