Jonathan Ross presents an entertaining show featuring comedy, celebrity chat and the latest music.

How can you be so down to earth and be involved with something as insane and dangerous as Scientology?

[jeremiahvik]

John Travolta's (and Cruise's) experience with Scientology is a whole lot different than a non-celebrity.

Huge credit to Jonathan Ross for asking the questions we wanted to ask and yet keeping the show light and moving. What he’s doing here is a tightrope walk and he’s damn good at it. He was hugely criticized for earning large sums but here we are, decades later, still consuming this content. He really was great at that job.

Oh boy, the body language speaks volumes when Scientology is mentioned 11:55 in

Funny how I’ve never heard about Scientologists lending a helping hand during natural disasters, like Travolta says.
5 months later:
I didn’t know I’d start a tiny war. I have nothing against JT and if he’s flown these missions of mercy, I’m sorry for questioning it. I thought it’d be big news we’d have all heard about it.
I may have judged him because of my aversion to Scientology and I regret thinking of him only in that light (or dark maybe).
He’s apparently a good generous soul despite his religious choices, Scientology, which I do not consider a religion, but a cult.
Needless to say, I never wanted to cast aspersions on him in particular, only on Scientology.

Silent birth WTF? A man telling you its ok???? Love you Johnny but once u've gone thru a silent birth yourself, we'll talk again😂😂

[leslie]

Interesting how he crosses his arms when talking about scientology but is completely comfortable all other times.

[AbsolutelyPeter]

I like John Travolta; he seems very sympathetic. He certainly has had his share of difficulties to overcome, and fighting his personal struggles has made him humble and reasonable. Yes, I like this man.

[wynbrown]

John Travolta is an actor. He knows what to say and do to come across as being normal.

When a Scientologist says “we help so many people”, I wish the interviewer would ask WHO exactly have you helped?

[christopherbaranet]

I met John many years ago at the Scientology complex in Fl. We were hanging out at the coffee bar, smoking cigars, and having a coffee. What a nice guy. Since then I left Scientology. I hope that he does the same.

Jonathan is like an excited kid when talking about John’s airplane.

That save by Ricky on the prenup question...brilliant

[Cheximus]

Damn, that body language at the beginning. Palm on his face, leaning on his elbow. He's thinking "why the fuck did I agree to this?!"

[karentwells]

Ricky Gervais and John Travolta explaining scientology ... if that's not a recipe for disaster I don't know what is 😂

[hometruths]

I love Jonathan Ross, the perfect interviewer!! I love the way he can turn around awkward moments!

[ToolReviewsofToolsIUse]

I met John years ago at Gleneagles Scotland, in the hotel foyer. He noticed that I recognised him and actually walked over to me shook my hand and said hello and had a brief chat. He's a big guy, and a genuine gentleman.

[Dclxvix]

I thought a silent birth was having a kid off the grid without the government knowing about it 😂

[fiercelovedesign]

The line of questioning and Jonathan's excitement at asking the questions is so brilliant

[immaseahorse]

I don't recall John Travolta ever giving birth.
