Jonathan Ross is being lined up for pay cut apparently

We were on a BREAK!

According to today's papers, Jonathan Ross is being lined up for a pay cut when his contract runs out later this year. But the bad news doesn't end there - Graham Norton is being primed as BBC One's main face as his chat show moves over from BBC2, which is bad news for ALL of us...

Wossy won't be short of offers if he decides to up sticks. Sky One would leap at the chance of poaching him - and they are the only people with a big enough wallet to cope with his current £6million salary.

Couple of things though - firstly, that £6million doesn't go straight into Ross's back pocket. It is paid to the production company that he owns - they have to actually make the programmes with that cash, which includes paying all the staff/studio/edit costs. So drop your Daily Mail knickers and stop moaning.

Secondly, all those twats that phoned in and complained about the Manuel thing now have Graham Norton. How does that work - complain about a lewd comment and end up with a man who made a career from looking at dildos dressed as dogs on Channel 4.

Sorry readers, I'm just cross - Jonathan Ross is very bloody good at his job and Graham Norton is a tired one-twick pony. Good old BBC.

Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross

Wossy's not worth 3m never mind the reported 6m he was trousering from the BBC. Shit unfunny & vastly overrated gobshite.

They're the people who laugh and clap when a pigeon lands on Centre Court during Wimbledon.

I think the Simon Amstell rip off bloke off HMTV should be parachuted in to fill J Ross' shoes. He could ask people such as Christopher Walken and Roger Moore what their favourite flavour crisps are, or when was the last time they went for a sit down wee.

I've had a go at Ross in The Corner, so I won't add to that here. It's time for Ross to move on before he turns into Letterman. The best celebs go out at the top and don't drag things out for the sake of their own egos. As elbow points out it's time for the BBC to break some new talent, they would be wise to bump up Rufus Hound not just outbid other channels who have the nouse to spot and nurture presenters.They'll turn into the Chelsea FC of the airwaves at this rate.

i like wossy but i also recognise his show is about him rather than his guests. He's cheeky verging on rude but he gets away with it and i like that he pushes his luck a little, Chris evans was the same. Yes he is an arse licker which contradicts and disappoints mostly but who the fuck else is there that can entertain. If you get someone in who ridicules the celeb they wont go on at all. Graham Norton is another one who likes to lourd himself all over us and im still baffled as to why we are still amused by campness. i guess unless you live in a city, you wont be so exposed to to it and therefore the novelty still exists. Fuck me didn't we grow out of that with the carry on films? Why don't the fuckin BBC look for some new talent, someone with a bit of edge, or are they panicking the tories will be victorious and slash their income once and for all.

Ross is only part of it anyway: his goth fucking *wife* is surely to blame for the choice of shite bands he gets on... Muse, The Cure, Grace Cunting Jones, The Streets you name it. I mean it's true eh? Dismal worn out, threadbare formula watched by dicks who laugh at *any* shit.

He shouldn't be doing the Film Show when he has to interview the stars and pretend he likes everything made. Eg: Miley Cyrus, Ben Stiller, Ewan McGregor and Tom Hanks - (has anybody sat through Angels and Demons? Anxious potato racing around Rome for 2 hours..)

As Woss would say - "Now...pwesumably".. this contract adjustment will also include his picking up of dog shit in Wood Lane whilst he isn't busy that we cosmically ordered?

Jonathan Ross is not "bloody good at his job" he's fucking shit. As much I thought the Manuel thing was actually funny and ridiculous that he got into trouble over it, Jonathan Ross is a self obsessed cunt who can't interview a guest to save his life. Worse still if he has an actual proper comedian on his show because they are not allowed to be funnier than him and he always stops them mid sentence lest they actually say something funny. He's a cunt who's shit at his job. Good fucking riddance
