More on Jonathan Ross
Description from Wikipedia:
Jonathan Stephen Ross OBE (born 17 November 1960 in London, England) is an English film critic and presenter of radio and television. Working extensively with the BBC, Ross has presented The Film programme since 1997, his own chat show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross since 2001, and a radio show on BBC Radio 2 beginning in 1999. He also appeared for years as a panelist on They Think It's All Over and was the annual host of the British Comedy Awards from 1991-2007, broadcast on ITV. Ross is known for his distinctive voice, flamboyant style of dress, and his light-hearted banter. Ross has a boldness in presenting, which some would consider often risqué, and as a result, he has sometimes been surrounded by controversy. He was won three BAFTA Awards for his work on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
