Why Do I Say These Things?

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

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.

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.

Taking us through his quirky view on life, including fashion, diets and, er, sweetshops this book is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

In between the adolescent porn tales and the hilarious diarrhoea anecdotes, he is funny and acute and full of ideas.

It's impossible to deny he's the most entertaining interviewer.

Irreverent and witty . . . hilarious . . . He explores everything - from diets to sweetshops and sex to pets, with all his customary lasciviousness and self-deprecatory humour.

Splendidly entertaining, reflecting on everything from eating a loaf to Shintoism and...sex.

There are . . . completely honest admissions about his drinking, and laugh-out-loud accounts of his various fashion errors . . . Enjoy gleefully politically incorrect posturing and plain old-fashioned entertainment.

This is Jonathan Ross. And nothing is out of bounds when it comes to talking about life as he knows it. From sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, Jonathan holds forth as only he can. This sharply observed, laugh-out-loud, outrageous page-turner will leave you asking just one question . . . Why didn't he write it sooner?

Scenes from life: anecdotal, wicked and witty. This is 'Wossy' in his own words and at his best.

Jonathan Ross hosts his own BBC1 chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, which has won three BAFTAs. Since 1999 he has presented BBC1's flagship film show, and on BBC Radio2 he presents his own weekly show. In 2005 he was appointed OBE and was voted most powerful man in broadcasting by the Radio Times. In 2008 he was awarded the Sony Gold Music Radio Personality of the Year. 
He lives in North London with his wife, Jane Goldman, their three children and a menagerie of pets.
