| 3 | Jonathan "Wossy" Ross [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever OBE]] (born 17 November 1960) is a British television personality and host. He is on ''every TV show''. |

| 5 | His long-running Creator/{{BBC}} One chat show ''Friday Night with Jonathan Ross'' was temporarily suspended in 2008, following a series of abusive prank calls from Ross and Creator/RussellBrand to Creator/AndrewSachs. Ross finally left the BBC formally in 2010. Many people joked that he would be on TV again after a couple of months anyway, and they were right: he currently hosts a new chat show on Creator/{{ITV}}. He's also presented the annual British Comedy Awards from 1991 to 2007, and 2009 onwards. Additionally, Ross is a PanelShow regular, including frequent appearances on ''Series/BigFatQuizOfTheYear''. (Which, to be fair, is produced by a production company owned by him and his wife.) |

| 7 | It is a matter of debate as to how far his career recovered after the nadir of [[Creator/RussellBrand "Sachsgate"]]. In the opinion of many people, it was irreparably damaged, with people once well-disposed to Ross wanting him to join his brother, the now seldom-seen on TV Paul Ross, in obscurity and outer darkness. Others, including fellow comedians such as Russel Howard and [[Music/{{Oasis}} Noel Gallagher]], and even Sachs himself, believe the whole incident was blown out of proportion. |
