Madonna has revealed she wants to try her hand as a comedian if her music career ever stalls.
Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show, she said she wanted to move into what she called “sitdown comedy”.

She said: “I like the idea of me coming out, sitting on a chair and a table with maybe a drink or two and just talk, talk about my life and say funny things and tell funny stories.”
However, it doesn't look like a change of career is on the cards anytime soon. Following her tumble at the Brits this week, Madonna is rising up the charts with the song she was performing at the time. The new single, Living For Love, is set to be her 71st top 40 hit.
The song – Living For Love – which she was performing as she stumbled in front of millions of viewers at the awards ceremony this week, is currently at number 26. It will be her 71st top 40 hit.
Research by the Official Charts Company shows 1,000 more sales would carry it into the top 20 and another 10,500 would see it enter the top 10.
Her last chart entry was in 2012 with her Nicki Minaj and MIA collaboration Give Me All Your Luvin’, which peaked at Number 37.
The singer also told Jonathan Ross she was currently single and admitted that bad “timing” prevented her from marrying her former lover Warren Beatty. She had worked with the actor in the film Dick Tracy shortly after her split from Sean Penn.
She said: “That’s a perfect example of timing because he was ready and I wasn’t quite ready because I’d just got divorced.
“Remember there was another husband.”
The full interview with Madonna is on ITV on Saturday March 14. Meanwhile, the guests on tonight’s edition of The Jonathan Ross Show are Sigourney Weaver, Thierry Henry, Martin Clunes, Kanye West and Tracey Emin.
See the host and his guests tonight on ITV at 9.45pm.
