''Friday Night with Jonathan Ross''〔Known as ''The Jonathan Ross Show'' in markets where it does not air on a Friday night〕 was a British comedy chat show presented by Jonathan Ross. It was first broadcast on BBC One on 2 November 2001. The programme featured Ross's take on current topics of conversation, guest interviews (usually three per show) and live music from both a guest music group and the house band. The show began its final series in January 2010, and ended on 16 July 2010.〔"(This week's guests: 9-15 January 2010 )". BBC Press Office. Retrieved 9 January 2009.〕 The most frequent guests were Ricky Gervais and Jack Dee (eight episodes each), Eddie Izzard (seven episodes), Jeremy Clarkson and Jimmy Carr (six episodes each). Johnny Vegas, David Attenborough, Stephen Fry, Damon Albarn and Simon Pegg all appeared in five episodes and Robbie Williams in four episodes. Since 2009 until its ending, the programme was broadcast in high definition on BBC HD. Studio TC4 in the BBC Television Centre in London, where the show was made, was upgraded to HD, making it the third television studio in Television Centre to be upgraded to HD (others being Studios TC1 and TC8). The show was pulled by the BBC on 29 October 2008 when Ross and Russell Brand were both suspended from their TV and radio shows, in the events after ''The Russell Brand Show'' prank telephone calls row. The show returned on 23 January 2009, attracting 5.1 million viewers. The final 275th episode was broadcast on 16 July 2010. On 12 June 2009, the show began airing in the United States on BBC America at 8pm EST. In 2010, it also started airing on the UKTV channel in Australia, just weeks after the episodes were first aired in the UK. ==Format== The show was usually recorded in Studio TC4 at the BBC Television Centre in London. The house band 4 Poofs and a Piano provided musical backing. The show used to be recorded on a Thursday, but after his return from the Russell Brand incident, it was recorded on a Tuesday, leading to the show having much less topical humour. (Jonathan's Saturday morning Radio 2 show was also subjected to being recorded on a Friday after previously being live on the Saturday). The house band consisted of Stephen de Martin, Ian Parkin, David Roper, and David Wickenden. Each episode they would wear identical t-shirts featuring the face of a guest at the cente. Every time a guest enters the studio, the band will perform a segment of a song, usually involving a reference to that particular guest. At the beginning of each show Jonathan Ross, would segue from his monologue with a homosexual innuendo about the group. There have been a number of recurring themes on ''Friday Night''. For instance, Ross often jokes about the age of veteran TV presenter Bruce Forsyth. This culminated in Forsyth appearing in the opening segment of the show broadcast on 30 November 2007, to supposedly take over as the show's presenter. Ross then appeared and called Tess Daly (Forsyth's co-host on ''Strictly Come Dancing'') to supervise Forsyth safely out, again alluding to his age. Ross has also often made jokes about Heather Mills, the ex-wife of Paul McCartney. During a GMTV interview in October 2007, Mills complained about comments made by Ross. At the beginning of the show, between guests and during interviews Ross often recounted incidents involving his wife, children and pets. He also referred to items in the news and demonstrates amusing products. His guests were seen at the start of the show sitting in the green room and Ross preceded the introduction of each by asking the audience "shall I get my first/next guest out?". While interviewing a guest he usually chatted with the other guests in the green room. At the end of the show, there was a musical performance from a performer or a group. There were rare occasions where the performer(s) are interviewed as well as then going on to play their song or sometimes songs, notably all three original members of proto-punk legends The Stooges (Iggy Pop, Ron Asheton and Scott Asheton) were interviewed together on the show in June 2007 before performing "I Wanna Be Your Dog". American rock band The Killers performed on the show in May 2009. Lead vocalist Brandon Flowers previously had an interview with Ross before playing 4 songs with the band, the most that had ever been performed on the show with an interview, until Robbie Williams performed 6 songs on 6 November 2009 after being interviewed.〔''Friday Night with Jonathan Ross'', Hot Sauce production for BBC.
