Apparently, Jonathan Ross is on an £18m 3 year deal

Paxman £940k per year, Wogan £800k per year and wait for it......

Chris Moyles on £630k......

Feck me.

At least they class as "entertainers" ... the pay that simple newsreaders get is amazing ... & you can, literally, replace them at a whim.

Graham Norton gets £5mil over three years. Not bad money for standing in front of an autocue reading the same 'nancy' gag over and over again.

I'm staggered that that's the going rate for the shite Jonathan Ross often talks. Would he really be valuable to the tune of £6million a year to another outlet?

Out of preference I wouldn't want 630k per annum heading into Chris Moyles' pocket either....

ITV would pay that

Well yes, you must be right.

I'll say one thing for Ross - for whatever reason he does seem to have a lot of pull when it comes to getting the big names on his show, and then again, for whatever reason, they all seem to find his shite amusing or, at least, acceptable!

I don't know... I think I lost respect for him when he had the man Cameron on and he asked him if he's ever knocked one out over Maggie.

Ah, whatever, it's clear that I watch his bloody programme isn't it, so he must be doing something right....

And I suppose he's quite good as a film reviewer...

Is this the same Johnny who used to do Saturday Night Live in the eighties? He's wubbish.
