Jonathan kicks off new season with Tom Hanks and Chris Rock
Fresh from a brief festive break, Jonathan Ross returns to host a 14th season of his award-winning show, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, now a permanent fixture for Friday nights through to the summer and extended to 40 editions across the year on 大象传媒 One.

Tonight Tom Hanks announces he is making Toy Story 3: "They're preparing the third one right now. I'll do anything they want me to do, they're like mad scientists."

And he talks about The Da Vinci Code, another screen role he's about to reprise: "I believed I looked like Bono, that hair caused riots!" And when Jonathan teases him about the film, he jokes back: "That was the second-highest grossing film of all time ... so take your little review and save it for Mr Parkinson when he comes back!"

He looks forward to an end to the US writers' strike: "We're really hoping that situation goes back to the table," and he reveals a problem with English accents: "You English people with your dialects p**s me off! ... When I saw Mary Poppins in 1964, I thought that's how English people spoke!"
听
He also reveals an unusual hobby: "Eighty typewriters, a low-cost addiction. I'm insane, I'm mad about typewriters. I rotate them, I travel with them, it's my only vice."
听
Also joining Jonathan is provocative US stand-up superstar Chris Rock who thinks Oprah Winfrey should be president.
听
"It's good there's going to be a change. Bush has messed it up so bad, it's hard for a white man to even run for president now ... I think Barack Obama's got a really good chance, Clinton is formidable but I don't think you should be allowed to run for president if you've been married to one." And as for Oprah: "She's the closest thing we've got to God!"
听
The line-up also includes Primeval co-stars Hannah Spearritt and Andrew Lee Potts and there's music from Reverend & The Makers performing Heavyweight Champion Of The World.
