He is the first one to make jokes about his speech impediment, especially considering his surname.
But Jonathan Ross was even taunted by his iPhone this week when voice detection programme Siri picked up on his mispronunciation of the letter ‘R’.
The comedian, 57 – often referred to as Wossy – asked the voice-command service to set a reminder to call BBC Radio 2, but the programme misheard entirely.
Oh dear: Jonathan Ross mocked by ‘hurtful’ iPhone programme Siri over his speech impediment, which he shared to Twitter on Thursday
Instead of noting down to call the BBC Radio studios, Siri wrote down to ‘Call Wadey 02’ after misunderstanding the ‘R’ for a ‘W’.
The TV personality – who has spent the last week as an afternoon host on the radio – shared his hilarious attempt at the voice command on Twitter on Thursday with a snapshot of the failed note.
‘I used Siri to set a reminder to call Radio 2. This is just hurtful.’ Jonathan joked.
Fans were quick to share their amusement over the tech gaffe, with one follower writing: ‘You can be proud that Siwi answered at all…’, while another commented: ‘I feel guilty for laughing but I totally laughed.’

Jonathan left the BBC in 2010 after an infamous call to late actor Andrew Sachs on Russell Brand’s Radio 2 show, but returned to the station for the Arts Show in 2016.
In March, the funnyman was listed with other household names, including Jimmy Carr and Catherine Tyldesley, who were allegedly paid to take part in charity editions of game shows.
It was claimed that the celebrity contestants who appeared on the ITV show Catchphrase are thought to have been paid up to £5,000.

Although Jonathan was paid for his stint on the show, he is understood to have donated his fee to charity – although it is unclear if any of the others followed suit.
An ITV source has since insisted the celebrity version of the popular game show has have never been promoted as a charity special, telling MailOnline: ‘Catchphrase celebrity specials are entertainment shows.
‘They are not called, nor are they positioned as, charity specials or charity appeals.
‘For the celebrity specials, the production teams approach celebrities to appear to be part of these entertainment shows, in which they can win significant sums of money for a charity of their choice.
‘The non celebrity version of Catchphrase offers members of the public the opportunity to play, and win money for themselves.’
