I think we could get him on here.

Tom Cruise is on.

I'd love to see Ross start taking the piss out of scientology to get a rise out of him. (I'd guess he'd walk off though)

Never gonna happen though.

Did you ever see anything so dragged out and pathetic

What's the Daily Mail's obsession with Ross all about?

An hour to go!

I happened to find the russell brand show podcast from the week prior to the controversial show, Brand and David Baddiel were on about yer one Georgina in that episode too and how the whole troupe of the satanic sluts had been over for an orgie one day when Baddiel dropped in his kid for brand to mind for an hour!! Manuel came up too.

Jeeze, couldnt see Brand as a babysitter.

Great show, great to have him back.

Surprised wiht cruise, I'd always him down as being cocky but he seemed sound from that.

Stephen Fry is a great interviewee, has a great knack of making any subject interesting. Cruise was very insular almost, most unlike my perceprion of him upto now. Like or loathe him he has been in some great films down the years.

I thought Cruise was very good. Not how I imagined him at all. There were rumours he was going to pull out because he didn't approve of Wossy, but he seemed to be revelling in the craic.

Cruise is an actor. Have youse noticed? He'll give Ross the performance he thinks the people want to see. He and his team of publicists will know that being cocky and acting like a star won't go down well with audiences of a British chat show.

Ross has noticably toned it down a bit. You could listen to Stephen Fry talk all night about anything!

Didn't see the show last night and i'd gotten away from watching him over the last year. i used to be an avid fan but i felt it was getting very cliched and stale. the enforced break might actually preserve the longevity of the show.

have to admit i love fry. very very engaging man

Ach I dont think so Tony, if Cruise was a cocky p***k he wouldnt give a shite. He has no reason to sell himself to the public, people will go see the films he's in even if he is cocky. I'm pretty sure I've read Ross saying before (think it might be in his book) that Cruise was very easy to deal with, doesnt make demands, very friendly etc, it surprised me. Great actor but for some reason I could never warm to him, Ive a different view of him after last night though.

Completely agree.I always look out for shows he's interviewed on. He's an intelligent man
