Shamed Jonathan Ross will invite Andrew Sachs to be the first guest on his Friday night chat show when it returns.
A source said: "He believes that by having him on the show, he will draw a line under this whole sorry affair."
Ross will be back on air in January after his three-month suspension by the BBC.
The source said: "Jonathan is desperately upset that he's offended a comedy legend like Andrew."
Insiders say the move indicates he has no plans to defect to ITV.
Sachs said yesterday: "I really don't know if I would go on the show. I have not been asked and I would have to discuss it with Jonathan Ross before I went on.
"He did write me a lovely letter of apology and going on the show is not something I would rule out.
"I've got an open mind about things like that."
Sachs is to write to Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas saying he thinks it is harsh that she lost her job over the prank phone call.
