I'll miss his Saturday morning show on BBC Radio2.It's very good. Excellent mix of music, guests, chat and funny stories. Good double act with Andy Davies too.
The TV show had it's moments but a bit too obsequious sometimes. His interviewing of beautiful women was pitiful.
What will Ricky Gervais, Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr and Jack Dee do now? Appear on Loose Women I guess.
Si 22 minutes ago quote# 4 His contract was up then, right?...... contract comes up for renewal this summer, but it was rumoured that he would take a pay cut, as he is so high profile, along with Graham Norton etc. That was NOT the case I am informed.
Obviously got a little pissed as being the scape goat of bbc high earners...... He is leaving the bbc full stop, including the radio and film review programme.
He has his own production company so will not starve, and felt his tv prog was becoming stale anyway, but became an easy target to have a go at.
Personally speaking I think the Indies will be queing up to sign him, although I thought he was overpaid was good at what he did. Oh well there is alway's Davina god help us......

Didn't Lily Allen on BBC3? :-S
Did she? How many nights a week?
Still BBC3 and Lily Allen is not the same as Ross on ITV1 or Sky1 every night. : - )
I thought Graham Norton had something like this on BBC1/2 to justify his huge (publicly funded) salary ? Can't say I've ever watched it as I would imagine it would basically involve the ingredients of everything G Norton’s ever done in his entire career i.e. talking in a funny voice excitedly, turning everything into a double entendre and highlighting things from the net that are supposed to be funny. Which aren’t.
Surely Sky 1 will snap Ross up and at least then his huge contract will be funded by people who have a choice wether or not they pay the subscription fee.
Yeah BBC 3 'silly Lilly' was a disaster.. like Davina, the idea of tv execs going for the let's get someone young and in touch with young people........ Little bit more to it that that guys. otherwise sign up Cheryl Cole...... second thought's please don't
Ross's TV show used to be ok but since the Sachs fiasco, he had to listen to what the BBC told him, and the show wasn't as good after that, and all he did was arse lick his guests.

Im not too sure, thats what i meant with my confused smilie thing :-S I know it was taken off air after about a month due to low figures! :-)
I like Jonathon Ross but his only problem is that on his chat shows he sucks up (which i understand he has too to some extent) but then on his film show he will absolutely ruin the same actor!....altho id do it for £6m per year!
I think he's fantastic at his job and there is no one better on British Television. It's a real shame. Hopefully he'll pop up on another channel, but don't think it will be as good.

Would be interesting to see if ITV or Sky have a go at doing what Jay Leno and other Americans do ie a five night a week late evening show.

LOL - nice one Chirps.
You missed out Gordon Ramsay!
Fuck!
Man - stick head so far up interviewee's arse that he can smooch their transverse colon.
Woman - ugly - patronise to death
fit - lech like a freshly released sex offender
At least we are going to save the ridiculous amount of money that some c*ck in the BBC saw fit to give him.....
Unfortunately, every silver lining has a cloud........prepare for even more Graham Norton. He's gay apparently. You'd never guess.

You end up dragging your media mates on, or end up talking up second rate 'superstars', or hasbeens........
When you try something new, people complain and want the 8 minute pr spin to sell there new product.......
PMSL!
There's something not quite right about that sentence but I can't put my finger on it : - )
BBC still have the Chuckle Brothers though!
