Jonathan Ross comes to ITV

September 3rd is the official launch date for Jonathan Ross’ new chat show on ITV1. The channel has nabbed the presenter from the BBC and plans to broadcast the show immediately after The X Factor on a Saturday night. Singer Adele, racing driver Lewis Hamilton and actress Sarah Jessica Parker are lined up for the first episode. Given that it is airing straight after one of the UK’s biggest TV shows, things are looking up for Jonathan. ITV’s promo makes a cheeky reference to the reasons behind Jonathan’s exit from the BBC. All very subtle of course!
