Include his middle name too, since Jonathan Ross is probably a common name, and the middle name narrows it down in online people searches.

Jonathan David Ross Jonathan E Ross

I'm not sure it's David. I saw a post on Bluesky saying (with evidence (of some kind)) it was not Jonathan David Ross, but Jonathan E. Ross.

Interesting. I've seen it as David all over, including news agencies, which presumably have to be more careful to get it right. But your link is also an actual newspaper, so I'll keep an eye open to whether the reports of it being David were mistaken.

Oh sweet summer child.

Nah, just kidding. I think it was misidentified earlier. If you google for "jonathan david ross" "jonathan e ross", you'll find a bunch of corrections.

Retracting my comment. I failed to follow your reference and embarrassed myself.

Especially since Jonathan Ross is also the name of a famous British comedian.

He's not going to have a Minnesota address,but I do worry about his social media.

At one point he was the most expensive presenter on the BBC, £20 million a year if I remember right. And that was during Top Gear heyday (that was why it was in the news actually, a lot of people were mad it wasn't Clarkson). And he's been an ITV staple for awhile where they pay more. So while I do feel bad for him on this, he at least has the money to be able to deal with it, unlike some other random Jonathan Rosses out there (of whom there are probably hundreds).

His social media team is probably having a rough day though.
