Jonathan Ross welcomes Sir Tom Jones, Jimmy Carr, Ellen Page and Penn & Teller to his Friday night show

Sir Tom Jones

Sir Tom Jones, Jimmy Carr, Ellen Page and Penn & Teller join Jonathan Ross for this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One.

Sir Tom tells Jonathan that he didn't party the night away on his 70th. "It was quiet on my birthday – I didn't want to broadcast it."

He shares his memories of hanging out with Elvis and singing late-night gospel with him in Vegas, and how Elvis sang to him in the shower: "I couldn't understand it," he says. "He used to mumble a lot!"

Tom also provides the music tonight and performs Burning Hell from his new album, Praise & Blame.

Jimmy Carr

Comedian Jimmy Carr tells Jonathan how he sometimes gets mistaken for tennis star Roger Federer and that he writes 250 one-liners before each new tour.

He admits he's petrified of doing live TV, and says: "I found it absolutely terrifying," although he confirms he will do more.

Canadian actress Ellen Page, meanwhile, reveals she used to live in a haunted former brothel.

Ellen tells Jonathan how Tom Hardy got papped teaching her how to fight on the set of Inception: "It looked like he was beating up a little girl!"

She also reveals that she's nocturnal: "I'm a sleep-walker – I have night hallucinations."

Jonathan is also joined by illusionists Penn & Teller, who criticise David Blaine: "He thinks trick is a dirty word – we couldn't disagree more."

Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, 10.35pm, Friday 9 July 2010, ´óÏó´«Ã½ One.
