The Jonathan Ross Show returns next Saturday on ITV. Its not been a huge success and its suffered in recent series from poor quality guests. But looks like its here to stay with 3 more series signed up. With Alan Carr & Graham Norton running as well, its interesting to see who gets which guests.
Anyway, week 1 line-up is:
Week 1 (12 Oct): Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Cilla Black & James Arthur.
Future guests are said to include: One Direction, Sir David Attenborough, Will Ferrell, Julie Walters and Frank Lampard. With music performances from Dizzee Rascall, The Pet Shop Boys, Gary Barlow, Kings of Leon and Ellie Goulding.
And according to this Ross is hoping to get the first interview with David Bowie in a decade:

One Direction,Will Ferrell and maybe Frank Lampard are the only exciting guests. Although i would not tune in if the musical acts are any of them lot.
What might that be ?
Graham Norton often gets the 'BBC names' as well. Someone from Strictly is guaranteed to appear this series for example. No doubt someone from The Voice later on.
Well done, you compared Graham Norton's strongest two guests, against Jonathan Ross's weakest two.
You aren't limited to watching one chat show a week you know. They do air on different days.
Sandra Bullock was already on Norton, on his series finale just a few months ago.
The bookings for future weeks of JR look incredibly thin.
Absolutely agree - he has never grown up and is often inappropriate
I would rather watch Sarah Millican:eek:
Aah yes, I forgot about that! I also remember Tom Hanks on Norton a couple of years ago with Simon Pegg too. Then again, I suppose you could say Hanks was on with Ross while he was still at the BBC even before that.
BIB totally agree. I find him to be really smutty & I cannot bear it. give me GN any day of the week.
This gets funnier the more you read it.
It's ok to just not like someone.
Just to say, Chris Hemsworth has been added to week 2 as well. I thought he might end up with Ross while his co star did Norton.
Week 3 for Norton is Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer Saunders and Cher.

Norton on the other hand can take a fairly bland sounding lineup and still make an interesting show thanks to the format of all the guests on the sofa together which makes it appear less of a PR exercise than Rossy.
As for Alan Carr - he wastes so much time talking rubbish and making a big deal out of the drinks cabinet that you hear very little from the guests , made worse by the scatter gun choppy editing .
Nortons edits are almost seamless
Now that was inappropriate on occasion and all the better for it
Alan Carr's got Britney Spears next week. That's a bit of a coup as she hasn't been on UK telly for years!
The way i see it Graham gets majority of A-list Hollywood guests. JR gets some A-list Hollywood guests and some plain ordinary guests and Alan gets showbiz A-list types (Rihanna/Justin Timberlake/Miley Cyrus/Britney Spears - mostly music based) mixed with Ch4 celebs and tv celebs.
