Russell Brand calls out disrespectful MSNBC talk show hosts during an interview.

Comedian Russell Brand was invited to appear on MSNBC's Morning Joe yesterday, ostensibly to talk about his controversial world comedy tour Messiah Complex. But instead, co-host Mika Brzezinski and panelists Katty Kay and Brian Shactman preferred to make jokes at Brand's expense, pretend they couldn't understand what he was saying, and refer to him in the third person even though he was sitting right there. Oh, and at one point, start calling him by a different name. At about the 5:30 mark, Brand decides he's had enough goofing around and seizes control of the show, demonstrating to the "journalists" how professionals conduct interviews and deliver news. Of course, Russell Brand being Russell Brand, he would likely be remiss if he didn't at least once during the program call Brzezinski a "shaft grasper" and advise her to "lose the [wedding] ring." All in all, pretty decent television.

I fell out when he told when he started doing their job for them. They were very rude though so I understand why he got annoyed. I don't understand why that one woman kept calling him Willie.

He's not exactly easy to work either. I really dislike him and his personality, because I think he is crude and abrasive. But the anchors should not have ganged up on him like that, people should stay professional when faced with difficulties. He really had no need to lecture them on how to conduct their job considering the countless times he has been rude in interviews. 

 

Myeh. This is why I don't watch TV anymore. Too over the top to satiate the gimmick loving masses.

I've liked him ever since African Child

 

 

 

 

 

jkjk

Isn't he making fun of Jesus-followers? So why can't the show hosts make fun of him? LOL what a waste of time

 

Katy Perry >>>>>>>>>>>>> Russell Brand

Everybody on that set was acting like a fucking buffoon and it was great.

I can see that you didn't watch the video because the idea behind The Messiah Complex isn't to make fun of Jesus. It's about why figures like Malcolm X, Ghandi, and Jesus are significant culturally. Also they shouldn't be making fun of him during an interview because it's their job to be asking him questions about the tour, not to act a fool.

I love how Russell was having none of it. When he said 'you shouldn't call a person he when they are present, that's bad manners' I laughed so fucking hard.

I was done by the end of the video where he basically yelled it at her and she made this appalled face like he had just murdered her children.

The whole interview was a fucking mess. What I really want to know is why that one woman was calling him Willie because when he asked who Willie is she just shrunk and muttered "I don't know". That video is comedy gold.

A person that didn't care would not have posted in this thread and they also would not have responded to me. So obviously you give a lot more fucks than you'd like to admit.

I agree completely. Hopefully it helped him realize what an unlikable dillhole he is and he decides to change.

His promotional image is a parody of Jesus and his explanation is really contrite BS that hides shade along the lines of making fun of people for following certain figures, namely Jesus. I don't see why anyone is jumping at you.

Or maybe I like getting more won and upping my post count

Why thank you.

[mglsts]

He showed them well. They were not very professional and couldn't even keep their composure.

 

I can't even with Jezebel and Sapphire... I don't think they even watched the video.

Russel Brand is known for being a douche anyways. 

[V.M.]

The hosts got a lesson in why you should not fuck with a stand up comic on camera. They deal with hecklers for a living, they will make you look stupid without a second thought.

[maryan]

how the fuck did reporters like that get hired

i was so EMBARASSED watching them, especially that woman who acted like a fucking 12yr old

 

thank god russell pointed out their lack of professionalism and bullshit
