Nothing new from Wossie except a beard. Repeat guests as always. Keira pretty but bony and little to say being only 22.
I've always thought Jonathan Ross lacked one key skill compared to Wogan (who admittedly I hated as a kid) and that's the abilty to extract a great interview from a bad interviewee.
The weekly show lives or dies on his guests. Poor guests and he flails and gurns and wriggles and fails. This is why he has some guests on over and over - he knows they deliver the goods. At one point it looked like Ricky Gervais was going to become his side-kick he was on so often.
He kicked off with Simon Pegg who has also been on the couch far too regularly. I'll be honest and say I didn't like Spaced but I have enjoyed the silly movies he has made since. It looks like this new one is rubbish where he goes through the motions. But at least the interview was fun.
Adam Sandler has been a guest before and seems to be a difficult guy to interact with. He comes across as autistic in many ways. At least they showed a clip of the awesome Happy Gillmore.
Final guest was Keira Knightly. Hard hard work cos she is a young woman with little to say for herself and minimal interesting opinions. Her stick insect looks are annoying but she has a classic face. I wish she'd kept the fit body of Bend It Like Beckham rather than the bone-snapping look she has chosen.
The band looked like a bunch of Christians. No idea who they were, gave up half way through.
Like previous series, I'll be checking the line-up each week to see if it is worth watching. Not exactly must-see TV.
