"Laugh-out-loud funny." Joan Bakewell, Guardian "Hilarious anecdotes aplenty ... For many of his fans, this will be the first time they get to know the real, likeable, human Jonathan Ross, beneath all the banter and bluster." Heat magazine "Fluent and entertaining ... this is a very agreeable ramble through the lively thoughts of a non-smoking, now non-drinking family man with a talent to amuse and enthuse."
