Jonathan Ross - The Biography

Jonathan Ross is Britain's best-loved presenter. He's sharp, witty and acerbic, and he has been at the forefront of celebrity culture in the UK for almost two decades. He started off as a researcher on Channel 4 and worked his way up to fronting his own chat show. When the producers couldn't find anyone suitable, Jonathan stepped in as 'the last resort' - which gave the show its name. Adopting the zany zoo format of US shows, it was daring, ground-breaking and an instant hit. But for this multitalented presenter, that wasn't the end of it. He also started a successful career on radio, working on BBC Radio and Virgin Radio. These days, he seems able to turn his hand to almost anything. For years Jonathan has been the acid-tongued host of the biggest annual comedy awards show and, in 1999, he became barry Norman's successor to from the BBC's long-running film review.
