Jonathan Ross has secured Tom Cruise for his comeback show next week.
The TV host, 48, was suspended from the BBC for three months after the Andrew Sachs scandal.
But bosses are confident Friday Night With Jonathan Ross will return with a bang.
‘It is business as usual with Jonathan,’ says a BBC spokesman.
Tom, 46, will be in London to promote his new film Valkyrie.
Stephen Fry and comedian Lee Evans will also appear on the show, to be aired on 23 January.
