Borat, All Saints and Smokey Robinson on the Ross sofa
Tonight Jonathan Ross welcomes to the show Kazakhstan's finest export, Borat, to Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 主播大秀 ONE.
听
After
greeting Jonathan in traditional fashion, he reveals that Jonathan's brother
Paul is a national hero in his native land: "Paul Ross is a big star in
Kazakhstan. We have a statue of Paul Ross - 18 January is Paul Ross Day!"
听
Borat's controversial film - Borat: Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit
Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan - is released in the UK on 2 November.
听
All Saints grace the Ross sofa to talk about their acrimonious break-up and
return to the forefront of the music industry after an absence of five years:
听
"We were in tatters and that was it, really... [there was] an accumulation of
many things that didn't get solved at the time" - Shaznay;
听
"No-one around us
encouraged us to talk; they just wanted us to make the cash" - Nicole;
听
"It was a
mutual falling apart" - Mel.
听
Natalie also talks about her experience during I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of
Here: "It was awful for me. My head wasn't screwed on properly. I didn't want
to quit but it got too much."
听
And Mel reveals that she voted for her to leave: "I voted, but only once!" 听
Jonathan also welcomes to the show soul singing legend Smokey Robinson, who
talks about his early career: "Segregation was everywhere. It was
really rough in the beginning, in the South... [but] the music brought everyone
together. Motown bridged a lot of gaps."
听
And Smokey gives his views on contemporary
music: "The urban sound is what these kids know - it's just life as they know
it. It's a shame the negative stuff gets more publicity than the positive.
听
"Music is a gift, something to be shared and bring people together. For people
to use it to make war doesn't make sense to me, period."
听
Plus, there's music on the show from Gnarls Barkley, performing their new single Who Cares
live in the studio.
听
A HotsauceTV/Open Mike production for 主播大秀 ONE.
