Ahead of Succession’s return to HBO and Sky this weekend for its fourth and final season, Logan Roy star Brian Cox joined fellow A-listers Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Ruth Wilson, Greg Davies and Jazmin Sawyers to tape Saturday’s The Jonathan Ross Show. Brian delved into what fans can expect from the award-winning drama as well as weighed in with his thoughts on other small-screen hits.
His savage dig aimed towards the Kardashian family came when Jonathan decided to hold a quick-fire Q&A with the often outspoken actor.
“F***ing horrible,” Brian quipped back when asked for his opinion on selfies before he was probed on his thoughts on social media to which he replied: “Equally f***ing horrible.”
Next on the list was Rupert Murdoch who recently announced his plans to marry at age 92, to which Brian diplomatically answered: “Good luck.”
Jonathan then put the likes of Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the others in the Kardashian clan in the firing line.
Brian delivered the rather unsubtle response as he swiped: “I don’t even know who they are.”
Finally, in the quick-fire Q&A, Jonathan asked for Brian’s thoughts on Speedos to which he harped back: “No, f*** that.”
Brian’s foul-mouthed takes inevitably had his co-stars chuckling away as well as the ITV studio audience.
But he wasn’t just on hand to provide the quick-witted one-liners and brutal opinions as Brian also shed some light on the return of Succession.
With the series coming to a close after four seasons packed full of family scheming, backstabbing and underhand tactics, Brian understands why fans may have a hard time saying goodbye.
He said: “You have finite television and you have infinite television that goes on and on well past its sell-by date. He’s [showrunner Jesse Armstrong] known the curve of this thing from way back.
“I think it’s going to be difficult for people. They become so addicted to the show.
“They don’t know why they like it as much as they do, there’s a lot of hateful people… that’s what audiences like, that horribleness of people.”

Brian stayed relatively tight-lipped about what drama was heading the Roy family’s way.
He cryptically delved: “It’s a rollercoaster. There’s a lot of stuff in it… I still can’t work it out.”
However, he did pay a special tribute to the cast and crew who’ve helped bring the gripping drama to life for the past few years.
“There’s been a remarkable closeness with all of us,” Brian remarked. “I don’t really mind the show ending, but it’s the people, the folk. The crew, the wonderful camera operators… It’s the whole shebang.
“The whole lot. It’s the best thrill in the world, sad when it’s over.”
Brian isn’t the only star making their return for the fourth and final season of HBO’s smash hit.
Hiam Abbass will reprise the role of Marcia Roy while Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook will all be back to take on the role of Logan’s children.
The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday at 9:40pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
Succession season 4 premieres on HBO in the USA on Sunday and Monday on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
