Jools must hold the record for making more music programmes for TV than any other host: The Tube, made in Newcastle; four series of Night Music, made in New York; three series of The Happening, filmed at London's Astoria Theatre; two series of Name That Tune, filmed in Leeds; twenty-nine series of Later...; fourteen Hootenanny shows; and one series of Beat Route, filmed all over the world.

Although Squeeze sold millions of records, the most successful record Jools ever played on was Good Thing by The Fine Young Cannibals, which reached Number One in seventeen countries. Jools was paid the statutory session fee of £150.

Jools provided a headstone for the grave of blues legend Jimmy Yancey in Chicago.
