Career

Ross is best known for his chat show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross which was on the air from November 2001 to July 2010 and was the most popular chatshow of the decade. Ross is also well known for his work as a radio presenter with shows on BBC Radio 1, Virgin Radio, and recently a Saturday morning show on BBC Radio 2 which has been on the air since 1999. He fell into controversy for comments made about Andrew Sachs on 18 October 2008 with fellow radio presenter, Russell Brand. Ross received a 12 week suspension and Brand resigned from hosting his radio show due to the ensuing scandal.

Extras

Ross appeared as himself in the sixth episode of the second series of Extras. His character befriends Andy Millman after he made an appearance on his chat show. His new found friend causes Andy to abandon his old friend Maggie. The fictional friendship is a parody of the real life friendship between Gervais and Ross.
