Talking Friday Night with Jonathan Ross...

Did anyone else see Friday Night with Jonathan Ross?

The 'Chris Rock' interview was a let down.... although the bit where JR called Chris Rock "me n*gg*r" was brave!.... and then winding up Tom Hanks by say he uses the expression all the time....I thought Tom Hanks was about to have a meltdown

I thought we'd see race riots, stabbings, sackings.... but as yet nothing! ....

Why? Chris Rock uses the ****** term in just about every sketch he does, so surely it'd be hypocritical for anyone to have a go at Johnathon Ross about it? We've not got that far down the PC route have we.

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross would be great if it was called:

Friday night with somebody who isn't going to try and upstage the guests.

Rock was OK, Hanks was hilarious, Ross was/is/will always be a floppy haired tw@t.

Loved it.

His interview on JR's show was far better than the poor attempt on Chris Moyles show on Radio 1

Didn't watch that one, missed it!
Usually I enjoy it. JR has better sense of humour than many other comedian TV presenters. I will keep my eyes out for a repeat (if there is any) before I add my expert review here on it. saying that, not every racist comment can be taken as an offence, depending upon what spirit it carries IMO.

JR show is always good for a laugh. My only criticism is that he can get carried away interupting his guests midway through sentences.

I always enjoy seeing him and Gordon Ramsey together as they have good chemistry.

Cool

I thought Hanks was superb. Very funny, very articulate, genuinely nice guy. A true superstar, not many of them left.

I cracked up at his reaction to Tom Hanks English accent...

"What the f*ck was THAT?????"

Tom Hanks looked Gob-smacked at that point!

Rossy is a comic god IMO, I just end up in stitches every time I watch his show, his timing is impeccable and what he gets away with is brilliant.

Chris looked uncomfortable; I think he's still a bit unsure of the UK audience, no doubt the tour will see to that; his humour travels very well generally. I very much enjoy watching him perform. JR I don't think was quite sure how to handle him either - he clearly wasn't a particularly knowledgable about CR; that kinda showed.

was all a bit grim - CR on radio 1 at 8am where he is a)asleep and b) not able to swear is all a bit pointless and came across like it.

the JR asking him about a routine he did over 12 years ago just so he could use the line "will there ever be a time i can call you a *****" was cringworthy - especially as CR has said he's never do the sketch again because it just encouraged people to think it was ok to call black people *****! can you imagine leno or letterman doing that?????
