Friday Night with Jonathan Ross is a British chat show presented by Jonathan Ross. The programme is produced by Ross's production company Hot Sauce, in association with Open Mike Productions, for BBC One. It was first shown on 2 November 2001 and is in its fourteenth series as of 2008. The programme features Ross' take on current topics of conversation, guest interviews (usually three per show) and live music from both a guest music group and the house band. The most regular guests are Jack Dee (7 episodes), Ricky Gervais (6 episodes) and Johnny Vegas (5 episodes). Recently the programme has been repeated in a 9:00-10:00pm time slot on the Dave channel on Tuesdays. The programme is edited so to accommodate commercial breaks. The programme has been repeated on UKTV Gold usually late at night around 1:00am or 2:00am in an uncut version with extra timing allowed for commercial breaks.

Ross speaks with a rhotacism, causing him to pronounce the consonant 'r' like a 'w', which has led to the British tabloid newspapers dubbing him "Wossy". He is also known for his flamboyant dress sense and regularly wins awards for being the best and worst-dressed celebrity (when he appeared on the series Room 101, his own dress sense was one of the things he wished to banish). Whilst appearing on They Think It's All Over, his dress sense was frequently mocked by the other panelists.

Ross is also well known for his distinctive long hairstyle, which creates mixed emotions in many viewers. Ross is also known for owning exotic pets, and is a big fan of David Bowie, British punk rock (such as The Libertines), Star Trek, Doctor Who, anime, Japanese Culture and comic books. Ross has even co-owned a comic shop in London with Paul Gambaccini. He was also the visual inspiration for the main character in the comic book Saviour.
