Part of Jonathon Ross's very generous contract stipulates that he shouldn't bring the corporation into 'disrepute'. Something that has clearly happened.

Any normal employee, who made malicous telephone calls whilst at work, and who broke their contract so blatently, would have been fired straightaway, and rightly so.
