Russell Brand on Jonathan Ross

mwnger

Did anybody see it? I thought he was f**kin' hilarious. Never seen a guest so completely steal the spotlight from Ross on his own show, he literally left him speechless at times. I was cheering him on! And I didn't know he's led such an interesting life -an ex-heroin and sex addict! He's really wasted on Bg Brother IMO, why won't Channel 4 give him his own proper show? He's the next Vic Reeves!

Mossy Monk

but he already has a show on MTV. Sunday nights at 8pm i think it is

he is a very eccentric person. i have liked watching him on tv since he was on the Dance Floor Chart. the interview tonight was very good

Robbo

Does anyone else find his choice of words and pronunciation to be the same ass Dot Cotton from Eastenders?

lostexpectation

I don't really like the affectation, the OTT styling but he is agenius with words and stories.

One of the funniest interviews I’ve ever watched. Anyone who missed it can see (or record) the repeat at 1.55am tonight on BBC1.

Bixmoo

He was excellent, he really is talented and I love the way he speaks. Very funny person.

flogen

I've only seen him on MTV and Big Brother stuff, kind of annoys me (trying to be a bit off the wall), but I'll have to watch the repeat to see what he was like... there won't be another Vic Reeves though, ever

Pigman II

I think he's great. Probably the only good thing to come out of Big Brother expierience in the past 2 years. Missed the interview of which you speak but I'll check out the repeat

Madeleine

He was the funniest guest I've ever seen on that show, I love the way he speaks and dresses and "looms around", and the hair!!!

Tusky

Never really liked him before but it was one of the funniest interview I have seen on that show!

Thanks for that.

Actually, it'll be 2.15am. Programmes running late due to the brilliant FA Cup Final overrunning!

If you've Sky, it's on BBC1 Scotland at 1am.

Dave!

tis all part of his act!

yeah I saw the interview, much impressed I used to watch him every so often on Big Brother, and loved him on that. I watched his show on MTV a few times too and didn't really enjoy it. He is really good, interesting character, and very sharp/witty

Hopefully we'll see alot more of him, away from BB

I made him an unofficial nemesis of mine after he just acted like a thick on the nme awards and slagged of Bob Geldoff and stuff, but he completely redeemed himself with that performance. I'm actually gonna look out for him in future because he seems very talented.

Pigman II

Saw the interview. It was good but was expecting something spectacular. That's him being relatively calm. He's usually more ebullient. Still , it was a good laugh.

I'd reccomend even if you hate Big Brother that you check out his round up show. It's generally just 30 mins of him acting like that and playfully taking the piss out of the contestants, panel guests, the die-hard fans in the audience and of course himself.

Táck

cant stand him. didnt see that interview on ross, would be interested to though. i just think he's a twat

great seeing bob geldof slagging him at the NME's "Russell Brand, What a Cock!"

Lump

I saw the repeat early on Sunday Morning, I wasn't a fan either. I don't think he stole the show either, I've seen people on Jonathon Ross that are much more impressive.

I dont get it, he's crap, the character brand has affected always reminds me of a bad version of Kenny Everett's Cupid Stunt character (the woman with the huge breasts who was constantly crossing her legs) crossed with bad carry on type jokes.

He's not funny.

Scruff

didnt see if but heard a lot of people talking about it. Anyone know if i can download a vid of it from anywhere??

defo!!!! lol.

weemcd

hate russell brand with a passion, missed the interview but i doubt it could have changed my opinion. I doubt there will be ANOTHER repeat?

flogen

I thought he was funny, but not a show stealer.

Saying that, he went up in my estimation, but at the same time I kinda got tired of his ultra-campness, he was getting a bit too close to strings of Julian Clary type innuendo at some points.

miamee

Not a fan of BB so I don't watch anything connected to it either, this wa the first time I'd seen Russell on tv (apart fromads for his shows). I thought he was absolutely hilarious!!I will be checking out any shows of his in the near future just to watch him perform. Genius

He was great on the JR show but I've seen him being much much funnier, in particular on the MTV Dance Chart Show. A million times better than he was the other night in fact.

Are you sure it was cock? I thought it was c*nt. Whatever it was though it was deserved because none of his jokes were coming off that night. Was very funny on ross though.

You're right it was c*nt. I thought it was unfair, but his retort was great.

"Bob Geldof wants to feed the world, he'd know, he's been dining out on 'I dont like Mondays' for the last thirty years."

munkeehaven

oh that boy is a handsome chap,as ian mckellen remarked...quite funny aswell...don't have a clue who he is,dont have channel four and dont watch big brother..

none probably, it was the people he was interviewing who were off their heads. he just did his best to freak them out with bizarre questions - very funny though.

I remember he was talking to some raver and he asked him "who would win in a fight?the nazis or superman?"the man said "superman" russell then said"but the nazis have the luftwaffe"The ravers face lit up as if he had just discovered the third secret of fatima!Classic!

Seen him on jonathan ross but have to say jim carrey and tenacious d were better on the show!

Procrastinator

Bah humbug...
Don't like his hair, beard, scarf, skinnyness, affetcations, pronounciation, language, opinions...
If he can present a programme, then so can I; so can anyone.

Seriously though, for those of us who have a bit more geekishness than we'd like, he gives us all hope...


...Off with his head, and let's continue with our own BB teaparty...

God what a pile of freaks(BB)...I suppose they needed someone of at least equal freakishness to talk about them.

I reckon he's Dots love child!

He's shagging Kate Moss at the moment so he must be doing something right.

scop

He's a very witty guy, fairly playful and far from the dull dross we usually have to put up with. Always been a fan of his, especially on the DFC where he really excelled. He has style, is clearly intelligent and entertaining, I cant see a thign wrong with the fella.

Crack according to the man himself http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/recorddoctor/story/0,,1777630,00.html

Evidently, adulation comes easy to Brand: he is equally fond of Arcade Fire, Editors and the Zutons, and is convinced that country music has much to offer him. 'You know those TV adverts that conclude "Buy this album of country classics"? Well, I watched one and the stories, the emotion, the commitment.' Qualities which, he believes, are absent from dance music, a genre he has loathed since he worked as a reporter on MTV's Dance Floor Chart fi ve years ago. 'I just talked surreal rubbish to pilled-up people. People used to say: "You're taking the piss out of clubbers on pills".' He chuckles knowingly. 'But I'd been smoking crack.'

lostexpectation

what is it with tv presenters who have the ability to work on shows they think are crap, dance and bb, he's like from simon popworld

slipss

didn't see him on jonathan ross, but he used to really really ****ing annoy me, but I watched hid program he has on BB a few times theree last week and seen him give a few interviews and stuff recently and as much as it pains me to admit it I just can't stop laughing at the stuff he comes out with. I have to admit he is a genuinly funny and very witty comedian, hes a bit too camp and over the top with all the inuendos though. Actually I found the interview with JR just there, on this link
