John Paul Ross (born 31 December 1956) is an English television and radio presenter, journalist and media personality.
He is the son of Martha Ross and the elder brother of Jonathan Ross.
Growing up in outer east London, Ross was educated at Norlington School for Boys, and later read English at the University of Kent. Realising he would not be able to follow the academic career he favoured, "an English lecturer at a polytechnic", he commenced training as a journalist at the University of Exeter and subsequently started his career with the Western Times in Exeter in 1982.
Ross became a researcher at London Weekend Television before becoming an editor for The Six O'Clock Show and The London Programme. He worked as the series editor on series 3 and 4 of Channel 4's magazine style programme The Word, and became executive producer for series 5.[citation needed]
His first job as a TV presenter was on the current affairs show Eyewitness, which ran for two years and saw him filming in Sicily, the United States, Brazil and Russia. He also fronted the police appeals show Crime Monthly for ITV.
His onscreen break came in 1993 with Channel 4's The Big Breakfast, on which Ross worked first as a reporter and then as a studio presenter.
In 1995, Ross was chosen as the presenter of the game show Jeopardy!, which had been recently taken over by Sky One. In the same year, he presented episodes of The Big Breakfast, the ITV series Big City and Good Sex Guide Abroad.
In April 1996, he presented the celebrity-based television show The Very Famous Paul Ross Show for The Family Channel, in which he interviewed performers Adam West, Lynne Perrie and Cannon and Ball. In September of the same year, he teamed up with Sarah Greene to launch a Sky One afternoon chat show called 1 to 3, aimed primarily at women with a mix of movies, music, celebrities, topical information, lifestyle and entertainment.
