What's your opinion on Jonathan Ross?

We love extraneous poll threads round here, we do.

fool

He had it all, and he threw it away. Didn't deserve a second chance as far as i'm concerned. Shame really, because I used to really enjoy watching Friday Night.

Used to? But don't now? Because of the Sachs affair?

Nah, I'm still willing to watch it, I just forget XD
I suppose I've forgotten that there is a new series.

we shouldnt judge just on one occasion.

He's a legend, and tv on friday nights has been GOOD for the last 5 years simply because of him and 4 gay guys

I've always quite liked him since Ch4 days. He gets some decent guests/bands on
...suppose he does get carried away with innuendo or actually come to think of it totally unsubtle sexual references at times, but hey we're all big boys. (fnarr fnarrr)

Now as for that other twat..., well that's another poll altogether

i dont like the fact that you can easily see when he has guest on his show that he doesnt like because he behaves like shit compared to when he is talking to people he like or admire.

Well, I think Legend is going a bit far.
I enjoy his show but must admit that the things he says sometimes makes me wanna puke...

its half ten on a friday night!!! what do you expect!!

You can be funny, and tasteful, without being unsuitable to be shown before the watershed

i agree grant, totally.

but ross is what he is. theres nothing worse than contrived, diluted, or falsely written jokes (green green grass *ahem*). he says what he thinks is funny - and doesnt care for anyone who thinks otherwise. why should he tailor his style to suit everyone?

i didn't say he should I like him

good good

i just finished watching that panorama programme about swearing - with frank skinner. they were moanin about it etc etc

if they dont like it then dont bloody watch it! its not as if they are being forced to watch it!

I couldn't give a *&%$£"£$%$ about the swearing but somethings just make you squirm.
Remember when he was interviewing David Cameron and he said those things about him having a w*** over Margaret Thatcher's photo? It was not funny...

Wossy reminds me of Chris Evans going off the boil about 10 years ago. He can be good on occasion , but he's too....yunno, full of himself and surrounded by yes men who wouldn't point out when he's being self-indulgent/insulting/dull and unfunny. That simpering guy he's on R2 Saturdays with just makes me want to puke.

Old foot-in-mouth hasn't started too well on last week's Elboys mini-session with a crack about Guy's size. Ross isn't exactly a supermodel himself...

Chris Evans saw the error of his ways and bounced back eventually: I wonder if the ban will have that effect on Mr Ross.

Round here, we say 'legend' just to mean 'cool guy'. And I think Jonathan Ross is a cool guy, so I vote legend. Poo-er!

Ross's chat show is just a self indulgent platform for him to preen and show off. The guests are largely irrelevant. Unless, of course, it's his mate Gervais. I used to love Ross - especially on the radio. But I'm afraid he's well past his sell by date. Time to move on.

But that's just my opinion. What do I know??!!

irrelavent guests?

first in the new new series... tom cruise, stephen fry, and lee evans.

what more do you want? oh, here's franz ferdinand

Leo - I agree that he has great guests on his show but he hardly gets the best out of them. He's a terrible interviewer insofar as he appears completely disinterested by his guests and what they have to say. He erroneously considers himself to be the star of the show. His over inflated ego leaves little room for anyone else.

I suppose you're right

but he's crafted his style as an "alternative" comic styled interviewer. winning over other viewers who dodnt watch parky, instead of competing

I thought he was brilliant with Stevie Wonder.
