==Host== {{Main|Jonathan Ross}} [[File:Jonathan Ross at BAFTA 2009.jpg|thumb|left|[[Jonathan Ross]] at the BAFTA Awards in 2009]] Ross speaks with a [[Rhotacism (speech impediment)|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 (British TV series)|Room 101]]'', his own dress sense was one of the things he wished to banish). While appearing on ''[[They Think It's All Over (TV series)|They Think It's All Over]]'', his dress sense was frequently mocked by the other panellists. Ross was even blamed for a textile workers' strike in 1988. David Cope, a sales director for a dyeing operation, made the claim: "Ever since that trendy Jonathan Ross started wearing his big, baggy suits on television, he set a fashion that has been extremely lucrative for the British cotton industry and now the textile workers want a share of those profits."<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/career_and_jobs/graduate_management/article411560.ece |date = 13 January 2005 | title = Jonathan Ross the interviewer of choice | work = [[The Times]]. | access-date =28 October 2006 | location=London}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Ross is also well known for his distinctive long hairstyle. Ross is known for owning [[exotic pet]]s and is a big fan of [[David Bowie]], ''[[Star Trek]]'', ''[[Doctor Who]]'', [[anime]] 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 (comic)|Saviour]]''.
