Friday Night with Jonathan Ross airs Fridays, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on BBC AMERICA

In the upcoming February 12 episode, Jonathan welcomes Torchwood and musical theatre star John Barrowman who reveals he’s coming to the States in March to begin filming a role created just for him on ABC’s hit show Desperate Housewives.

Of his new role - which he admits he owes to the success of Torchwood - John says he will be “stirring up Wisteria Lane quite a bit”.

Will Captain Jack return to Torchwood or Doctor Who?

He admits he hasn't quite said goodbye, “I love playing Captain Jack...I have no clue what’s going to happen...I would go back in a second.” Later John performs Copacabana from his new self-titled album, John Barrowman.

Also joining is Bollywood megastar Shahrukh Khan who chats with Jonathan about his illustrious career and his forthcoming film, My Name is Khan. Shahrukh also tells Jonathan he turned down Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire because at the time he was the real-life host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire in India, “I was very keen for that film to be made...I didn’t do it because the host was a bit of a cheat, and I thought people might think I’d do the same thing.”

And Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly chats with Jonathan about dieting and child obesity with musical performance by Welsh indie band Marina & the Diamonds performing their new single, Hollywood.

On the February 19 episode, joining Jonathan is Oscar-nominated actor Jeff Bridges, British actor and comedian John Bishop and musical performances with Courtney Love, her band Hole and Irish pop group Westlife.
