Comedian proves a hit with show producers
Saturday, 11 October 2008
Russell Brand impressed MTV bosses so much at the Video Music Awards in LA that they’ve apparently asked him back.
The comic branded President George Bush a ‘retarded cowboy’ and called Britney Spears, 26, a ‘female Christ’.
But Russ, 33, insists they want him to host the ceremony again in 2009.
‘My phone hasn't stopped ringing,’ he tells the Daily Mirror. ‘Most people thought it was great and I'm pleased with how it went.
‘The executive producer came up to me straight after the show and asked me to sign up to do next year's awards too.
'The viewing figures went up 20% on last year's show which is unbelievable. I'm really flattered.'

Shut Up, You Stupid jealous bitch!!!
Oh my god, he was hilarious, i wioll def watch it next uyear. there is nothing like a good comic to take celebrities down a peg... Reality check needed... He is way better than sarah silverman who was just uncomfortable to watch
Love Russell although am always a bit disappointed when people who I admire and think of as a bit different dream about doing the whole 'making it big in the US' thing.. but then I read his autobiography and realised he really is just a typical 'chasing fame and fortune' sort of person. He did the Italia Conti thing, auditioned for the boyband thing, adverts, bit-part in soaps, the lot.. But at least he's witty, intelligent, socially-conscious and possesses real star quality, and is not out the same dull mould as 99.9% of other celebrities who have absolutely nothing to say for themselves. So good luck to him - the boy will go far.
2 amazing prizes to be won!
