Russell Brand coming to Comedy Central
If you only know Russell Brand from his MTV VMA appearance last fall, you are missing out. Although if you were remotely offended by his act, and/or felt indignant on behalf of the Jonas Brothers, this isn't for you anyway.
But for comedy fans, Brand's forthcoming special on Comedy Central (March 8) looks like something to watch. From the two previews up on the site, it seems like he's dialed his act back a bit (he may still be feeling the heat from the Andrew Sachs episode a few months ago) — he's a little less manic and a little less profane. But still quite funny.
I've got the screener, so I'll let you know more next week.
My favorite line: "Without fame, this haircut just looks like mental illness."
