The show airs Friday night at 10:35pm on BBC1.
Mike Duncan writes: I was at the recording of the Jonathan Ross last night and Morrissey sang IBEH and Everyday is Like Sunday. Morrissey appeared very nervous during the interview and didn't really take to Jonathan Ross' chummy line of questioning. During a break while they set up cameras Ross asked him if he should call him Steven and Morrissey nobody calls him that and the name has bad connotations for him. Everyone calls him Morrissey. Nothing much came out of the interview that wasn't already known, he talked about his autobiography and launched a stinging attack on David Bowie (among others). --- slug from MorrisseyTour sends the following photo from the taping, others will be posted soon on their site, a short report on the taping is also there now. Update: 05/14 17:19 GMT: Full report and pics now on MorrisseyTour, look in the Current Tour section.

Who is this Ross for us in the states who know nothing of him?
There was just a bit of the interview on BBC 6 music....I am listening on-line.
Ross asked Morrissey about his autobiography.
Morrissey replied he has a few chapters remaining.
Ross replied..."What does that mean?" Morrissey replied, "It means I have a few chapters remaining to write."
Morrissey seemed right on the mark...was audience laughter. too. Ha HA!
Rock on Morrissey.

I thought he would have done two new songs but nevermind.
Inbetween filming Ross asked Alain Whyte why the band didn't have a name, Alain replied we couldn't think of one.
I did alot of shouting when the big man came out, so I'll be keeping an ear open for myself tonight.
The Harry Hill moment was funny.

Here's your audience now...and we're screaming (Score:1)
I remember Morrissey being on Johnathon Ross's show The Saturday Zoo circa 1991/2, and on the Ross hosted Amnesty International concert of early '92, so I assumed that they knew each other. From what I've read from the main article here and some of the comments it appears this is not the case, especially if Johnathon had to ask what how he should address Morrissey. Unless it was all a scam of course. There is always that possibility. I guess we'll have a chance to judge for ourselves when we watch it tonight.

That was way back in the last century, that dreadful tour.
Morrissey is not endowed with a forgiving nature, is he?

Poor Moz! (Score:1, Insightful)
But I do wish Moz would get over a few things - like, Bowie, the court case, Joyce, tax, music critics, the racist debate. I know they must have (understandably) hurt him, but he really does come across as stuck in the past to no good effect when talking or singing about these things.
And his bitchiness vis-a-vis Bowie really is now getting rather tiresome. Bowie's own appearance on Ross was not stunted by such unnecessary talk.

Dale Winton and the Four Poofs + Piano (Score:1)
I'm ignoring Ronnie O'Sullivan - like Moz did in the Green Room.
I'm waiting for the main event!
The four poofs singing acapella Morrissey songs is a real nice touch - and they're wearing T-shirts with his image on the front.
So far so good.

I still don't like the buttoned up jacket - it looks like a straitjacket!
He looked fairly relaxed, just has that nervous tick of constantly pursing his lips and sticking his tongue in his cheek. Ross went out of his way to make Moz feel at ease, which was really good.
Just glad it only happen every 17 years!
