The Jonathan Ross Show is a British comedy chat show presented by Jonathan Ross. It was first broadcast on ITV on 3 September 2011 and airs on Saturday evenings following the conclusion of Ross' BBC One chat show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross , in July 2010.

Production

For its first eleven series, the show was filmed at The London Studios, except for one episode in 2013, which was filmed at Television Centre. In November 2011, it was announced that Ross had signed a new two-year contract to host another two series of 10 episodes and a Christmas special. A year later, the show was renewed for a fourth series to air in 2013. [2] In March 2013, Ross bemoaned his declining ratings due to a poor selection of guests, as some top celebrities seemed to prefer the atmosphere of The Graham Norton Show . [3] [4] He also confirmed that series 4 had been extended and that he had signed to present one more series of 30 episodes. [5] In July 2013, despite previous announcements that the show would end in late 2013, ITV commissioned two more series to air in 2014. [6]

In May 2014, Ross stated that, as of the seventh series, the programme would be given a "shake-up" to its format to keep it fresh. [7] On 20 October 2014, ITV announced that Ross had signed a new contract to continue his show until the end of 2015, which would consist of two series and a Christmas special. ITV's Director of Entertainment and Comedy, Elaine Bedell, said: "Jonathan is the king of talk shows and a valued member of the ITV family. He continues to attract the biggest names in showbiz onto his sofa and I am delighted that he will remain on the channel until at least the end of 2015." [8] [9]

After much rumour and speculation over the future of the programme, ITV and representatives for Ross confirmed that the show had not been axed and would return for its 11th series in the autumn of 2016, which would also include a Christmas special. However, unlike previous series, there would be no episodes continuing into the new year of 2017, as Ross took a break to travel to the US. ITV's Director of Television, Kevin Lygo, said, "Jonathan Ross is very important to ITV and we look forward to the new series this autumn and the Christmas special and working with him again next year when the chat show returns in Autumn 2017". [10] [11]

It was announced in May 2017 that production of the show would move from The London Studios to the newly refurbished Studio TC1 at Television Centre in West London. [12]

Series 18 began on 23 October 2021. [13]

Series 19 commenced in the autumn of 2022 and was the first series since 2019 to feature the regular studio set once again. During 2020 and 2021, the set design had to be changed due to the Covid 19 pandemic, when social distancing measures had to be put into place. However Series 19 saw the return of the regular set, with guests once again waiting in the "green room" and being seated close together on the couch. Only Jonathan's desk has not returned, with Jonathan now hosting from a separate chair. [14]

Episodes

The Jonathan Ross Show has broadcast twenty series since its debut in 2011.
