Book Synopsis Jonathan Ross - The Unauthorised Biography by : Neil Simpson
Download or read book Jonathan Ross - The Unauthorised Biography written by Neil Simpson and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Ross has a larger than life personality that has captivated radio and TV audiences both young and old. With a cheeky sense of humour and a witty repertoire Jonathan is definitely the nation's treasure.Beginning his media career as a Channel 4 researcher it was not long before Jonathan had paired up with Alan Marke, forming their own production company which launched The Last Resort project and later in 1987 Channel X. Without a host for the new venture Jonathan stepped into the breach and ignited a television presenting career that was to explode across the networks.Jonathan's Radio career was launched in a similarly chance way - filling in for Janice Long of Radio 1 for two weeks led to a slot on Richard Branson's flagship show (a forerunner for Virgin). Jonathan then went over to Radio 4 before returning to host his own show for an established Virgin radio. Picking up two Sony awards along the way, plus best entertainer and special achievement awards, it is unsurprising then that last year he collected, for the second time, the Best Radio Personality of the Year and was voted the most powerful man in broadcasting.Now an OBE, Jonathan's career is bursting at the seams with accolades to his talent and popularity. This is the wonderful biography of an eccentric and fantastically comic presenter, his life and family.

This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They are Britain's best-loved comedians. This unauthorised biography gives the low-down on the men behind the laughter.When Little Britain appeared on our screens, a series of characters was born that would make a nation laugh like no other British comedy in recent years. With its hilarious mocking of British clichés and stereotypes, it was not long before its catchphrases were being quoted in every home, playground and office across the land. And it was all down to the comedy genius of the inspired duo that is Matt Lucas and David Walliams.All of a sudden, two relatively little-known comedians became the nation's entertainment heroes, shooting straight to the A-list of Britain's most wanted TV celebrities. Although such success was new to them, Matt and David's creativity led them to write two more astonishingly successful series, earning them countless industry accolades, numerous British comedy awards and two Baftas.But behind the sketches lie two fascinating individuals whose work in comedy goes way back - Matt and David met in 1990, drawn together by a mutual love for Reeves and Mortimer - and whose life stories provide a fascinating and hilarious insight into what has inspired them to produce some of the finest laughs in the history of British comedy. In this insightful and brilliantly researched biography, Neil Simpson traces their development from boys to men, revealing much about their off-screen lives along the way, and setting the record straight on the various rumours (many of them true!) that have grown around the pair.Kings of Comedy is a fascinating portrait of two men without whose comic creations Britain would be a lot less funny place to live.
