Russell Brand rant about Sachsgate cut from Ross's show

Insiders at the broadcaster say large parts of the interview will now be left on the cutting room floor as bosses frantically edit the show.

Russell Brand cracks tasteless jokes about Jimmy Savile

Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross have told of their regret and embarrassment over the Sachsgate scandal. But Brand couldn't help but cause yet more controversy by cracking tasteless jokes about the Jimmy Savile sex scandal.

Radio Times review

Ross welcomes two Australians into his green room. Rose Byrne came to most people's notice as the heroine of TV thriller Damages, then shot to another level of fame in Bridesmaids. Given how pretty and talented she is, expect Ross to get a little overheated. The host of Channel 4's late-night talk show, Adam Hills, is also around.

Jonathan Ross left with the last resort

I'm sure there are many soul-destroying jobs in the world right now. But I'm struggling to imagine anything worse than being a guest booker on ITV's The Jonathan Ross Show.

Ross and Brand re-unite for first time since Sachsgate

Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross will appear together next week for the first time since the "Sachsgate" scandal.

Jonathan Ross - who, depending on your taste, is either likeably energetic or irritatingly garrulous - is tonight joined by Australian actress Rose Byrne (Damages, Bridesmaids). She'll be discussing her role in the new British romcom I Give It a Year. In the studio, too, are comedian Adam Hills, whose news review show The Last Leg has become a cult hit, and entertainer Jools Holland. Music comes from Alicia Keys.

Jonathan Ross: I doubt I'll ever be knighted

At 52, Sachsgate ­scandal star Jonathan Ross says he hopes to become a dad again.

It's the motor-mouthed host's last show this year and a bumper cast squeezes onto his banquette of banter for the occasion. Ross welcomes arena-filling stand-up Michael McIntyre, actresses Sheridan Smith and Sienna Miller, plus Paralympic gold medallists Ellie Simmonds and Jonnie Peacock. Chef Jamie Oliver cooks festive food, while there's music from Charlotte Church and clowning from Broadway-wowing Russian troupe Slava's Snow Show.

Jonathan Ross wins new series despite low ratings

A fourth series of The Jonathan Ross Show has been commissioned by ITV despite its winning fewer viewers than a party political broadcast by the Conservatives.

Emmy winner Damian Lewis, the English actor with the most successful American accent since Hugh Laurie in House, is on the Ross sofa. Lewis is in demand after the role that lifted him to stardom, terrorist-in-the-making Nicholas Brody in Homeland. Maybe he can be tempted to demonstrate some Gangnam Style with fellow guest, South Korean rapper Psy, whose much parodied tune and silly dance have swept the globe.
