Wossy Quits BBC

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Jonathan Ross has announced he is to leave the BBC after 13 years when his contract is up in July. Ross is one of BBCs highest paid presenters and is best known for his Friday night chat show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and his Radio 2 show on Saturday mornings. I am a huge fan of Ross who has always striked me as someone people either love or hate, especially since the whole Andrew Sachs ‘incident’. It will be a shame to see Ross leave. It’s hard to imagine a TV schedule without him in it somewhere but I predict he will move onto even bigger things. There have been rumours that he may present in the US where I think he would be a huge success. If he does stay on UK soil and continues to present entertainment shows I reckon he will most likely go to channel 4 although it seems more likely he will go freelance and pop up from time to time. Of course there is also his wife who is a hollywood script writer so Ross might even dip his toe into those waters. The world really is his oyster but I wouldn’t be at all suprised if he has a break first. He is a family man who deserves a couple of years out to spend as much time with his family as he can. Either way leaving the BBC wont be the end of Jonathan Ross. Just a new start into another successful career.
