Peel was a guest on the late night Channel 4 chat show programme, The Last Resort With Jonathan Ross in October 1987, appearing alongside fellow guest George Harrison. Peel and Ross later met on another TV programme, Shooting Stars in 1995 where the DJ appeared with hosts Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, captains Mark Lamarr, Ulrika Jonsson and fellow guests Chris Evans and John Craven.
On his 05 February 2003 show, Peel admitted to admiring Jonathan Ross' interview skills. While waiting for the Pig in the car outside the shops at the weekend, he'd heard Ross interviewing Noel Gallagher of Oasis on BBC Radio 2. Peel observed that Ross treated his guests as an equal, whereas he admitted to feeling slightly starstruck when interviewing somebody famous.
