Recent A-list guests have included Tom Cruise, U2, Jack Black, Eminem, Ben Stiller, Helen Mirren and Tom Hanks to name a few.

Richard De Croce, SVP Programming, BBC AMERICA said: “The wit and wry humor of Jonathan Ross is the perfect addition to the BBC America schedule.  His interviews with A list guests – from Tom Hanks to John Travolta to Nicole Kidman – are always candid and frequently unpredictable. Best of all he fosters an atmosphere which allows guests to relax, open up and allow the viewers in.”

In a deal, brokered with UK independent production company Hotsauce TV, co-owned by Jonathan Ross, the show will also air on BBC channels across the globe including BBC Canada, UKTV in New Zealand and the BBC Entertainment feeds across Latin America, Scandinavia and Africa.  The show has been a ratings hit since launching on BBC ONE in 2001
