The veteran gabsmith welcomes a fresh phalanx of guests to his studio, including R&B superstar Tina Turner, who recently returned from retirement to work on the musical biopic of her life, which is set to open next year. Also set to sample the green room buffet are controversy courting UFC combatant-cum-professional boxer Conor McGregor, presenter Clare Balding and Spider-Man Andrew Garfield. Plan B brings the tunes.

Though an elder statesman of chat, Jonathan Ross is reluctant to let his format grow stale. Seemingly slightly less reliant on prepared bits than Graham Norton, he is all about quality tone, helping winkle out the reluctant and the armour-clad guest to see the funny side. Tonight should test both parts of his game, as he hosts Ed Sheeran and Gordon Ramsay. Rita Ora, no easy guest for him to announce, sings live.

Compared with the zing and bonhomie that characterise Graham Norton's chat juggernaut, Ross's tried-and-tested approach can seem a little unsexy and plain at times. Just as well that the presenter's guests this week include London grime hero Stormzy, alongside the reliably lovely Annette Bening, plus Jamie Bell, Bradley Walsh and Vince Vaughn. The musical guest is pop dullard Jamie Lawson, but you can't win 'em all.

Jonathan is talking all things The Great British Bake Off on his show this week as he is joined by the GBBO judge Paul Hollywood and new presenter, Noel Fielding.

In terms of guests, reliable chat and the odd headline-grabbing revelation, Jonathan Ross is at the top of his game in his comfy ITV chair. This week, The Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood and Noel Fielding pop in to talk about cakes and stuff. Over in Hollywood A-list corner, there's Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry and Julianne Moore as well as chat from Taron Egerton. Craig David provides the music, completing the something-for-everyone lineup.

Wherever he lays his chat, that's his home: Ross recently returned to the former bosom of the BBC by parking the 12th series of his ITV vehicle in the remodelled Television Centre (or at least the bit of it that hasn't been turned into posh flats and a fancy club). His lineup of guests tonight include both Rag'n'Bone Man and a moaning gag-man (Jack Dee), plus there's a chinwag with former Westeros side-eye champ Natalie Dormer.

Brightening up the early autumn evenings, Jonathan returns to ITV with the new series of his chat show where he is joined by a range of guests from musicians and actors, to comedians and Olympians.

Jonathan Ross returns with his ITV chat show inviting Hollywood stars, famous sporting names and music stars to take a seat on his sofa.

How Jonathan Ross's couch got so bare

Before Sachsgate felled his career, Wossy was top of the chatshow tree. Now he makes do with Gino D'Acampo while Graham Norton entertains Tom Cruise.

The host welcomes stars of the revived comedy-drama Cold Feet. Robert Bathurst and Hermione Norris are perhaps perceived as too posh for chatshows, so here we get James Nesbitt, Fay Ripley and John Thomson - the latter returning from the wilderness with some great performances. The avowedly un-laddish but also strangely unchallenging comedian Joe Lycett is also a guest, with Phil Collins providing music.
