Veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson has called time on his distinguished career as a TV chat show host.

"After 25 years of doing my talk show, I have decided that this forthcoming series will be my last," he announced.

The 72-year-old said he still planned to work in TV but intended to take next year off "to write my autobiography and consider other television projects".

Parkinson's final series on ITV1 - his seventh since leaving the BBC in 2004 - will be screened in the autumn.

"My thanks go out to all those who have worked on the shows down the years and the viewers for their loyal support and occasional kind words," he added.

One emoticon to sum this up;

Jonathan Ross > Parkinson

HOLY SHIT! D:

At least with Mr.Ross.

Truly disappointing.

I read the thread title, thought it said, "Perky Tits" backwards in a mirror or something.


Disappointing - not about Quarky Tarts, but about not being about Perky Tits.


Holy shit, I think my mind just leveled up. Never mind, it was just some gas.


Continue with whatever it was that you were doing... previously.

The show died after Billy Connolly lost his funny and Rod Hull fell to his doom.

Meh.

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross flumps Parky into next week. I'm with Cormeh on the meh.

I try to enjoy Jonathan Ross but I all I hear is 'flibble wibble, blibbity blobbity flib wib'.

Parkinson is the godfather of talk show hosting! Show some respect you royal twunts.

Although I agree about Jonathan Woss, my point is the guests he [Parkinson] had in the past are what made the show and in essence made him the Godfather (as it were).

Woss does have a great comedic buzz.
