Friday Night with Jonathan Ross is a chat show presented by the aforementioned Jonathan Ross. It is on the British terrestrial TV channel BBC One that goes out at 10.35pm on Friday nights, Ross talks a bit about current topics of conversation, interviews his guests, listens to bands and, of course, talks to his house band Four Poofs and a Piano.

The house band consists of Stephen de Martin, Ian Parkin, David Roper, and David Wickenden. The four men are very flamboyant when performing and on each show, Jonathan Ross will usually make a sexual innunendo about the group, although these are always an affectionate tease.

Most regular guests are Jack Dee (5 episodes), Johnny Vegas (4 episodes), David Blaine (3 episodes) and The Office star, Ricky Gervais (3 episodes).
