This week's Jonathan Ross Show features an interview with comedian Greg Davies, who is going to be pretty impossible to avoid in the next few weeks.
Davies is back as the host of Taskmaster which returns to Channel 4 on Thursdays at 9pm from March 30, but before then he also returns as the star of BBC One comedy The Cleaner from Friday, March 24 at 9.30pm.
Greg James hosts Rise and Fall, Channel 4’s new reality series from the makers of The Traitors which some are calling the new Traitors.
Rise and Fall, made by Studio Lambert and Motion Content Group, is a game about what it takes to get to the top - how to win power, how to keep hold of it and how to use it to influence others.
Following co-creating and starring in two series of his ITV sitcom Buffering and releasing an Amazon Prime stand-up special Failing Upwards, plus continuing as the iconic voice Love Island, Bafta-winning comedian Iain Stirling (Taskmaster) announces his biggest UK & Ireland tour to date for Spring 2024, Relevant.

The hugely influential improvisation pioneer Keith Johnstone has died. He was 90.

Off Menu duo James Acaster and Ed Gamble have been confirmed for the special edition of Celebrity Hunted for Stand Up To Cancer.
The comedians, who are the co-hosts of the hit podcast Off Menu, had previously let the news slip out during Gamble's Radio X show last summer. Gamble broadcast his show in hiding and then the twosome released a video in which they taunted the hunters by appearing everywhere from on a rollercoaster to Hogwarts and the White Cliffs of Dover thanks to judicious use of green screen.
