The band taped an appearance for the presenter's first show since serving his three-month suspension yesterday, and they told BBC Newsbeat that they had no reservations about their decision to appear.
"He's a funny guy. No matter what anybody else has been saying about it at all," said frontman Alex Kapranos.
When asked to describe Ross's demeanour, he replied: "He didn't seem toned down. He seemed very at ease and relaxed.
"I think everybody was aware of the situation. He was himself. Which is what you wanted to see, I think. You don't want to see a watered-down version of his personality."
Kapranos added that the backstage atmosphere was "relaxed" and that the other guests - Tom Cruise, Stephen Fry and Lee Evans - were "really charming".
Friday Night With Jonathan Ross airs on BBC1 tonight.
