Jonathan Ross
Jonathan Ross is a television and radio presenter and film critic. Over the past several years, he and Ricky have become good friends. Their real-life relationship was spoofed in the final episode of Extras Series 2, in which Gervais's character Andy Millman and Ross were shown to be the best of friends after a fictional appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
In November of 2003, Jonathan gave Ricky a kitten after Gervais's previous cat Colin had died. The cat's name is Ollie and this incident was the topic of great mocking by Stephen Merchant shortly thereafter.
On 15 December 2001 Jonathan walked into the Xfm studio while Ricky was on air. He proceeded to flash his genitalia much to the disgust and amusement of the presenters. After a brief chat, he gave Ricky tickets to that night's British Comedy Awards which he presented.
