TV show description:
Produced in Los Angeles, this late-night comic TV series features comedian Russell Brand’s unvarnished and unfiltered point of view on current events, worldwide politics and popular culture.
He takes on the news of the day, using his unconventional sensibility, spirituality, humor and status as a recently transplanted Englishman to get to the bottom of what the news really means. The show is driven by Brand’s interaction with a live audience as he discusses pundits, news makers and activists (many of whom he calls his friends).
In addition, former Congressional policy adviser and Harvard University graduate Matt Stoller appears as a political, economic and historical consultant.
Episode #36
Kevin Nealon is the guest.
First aired: May 2, 2013.
What do you think? Do you like the BrandX with Russell Brand series? Are you sorry that it won’t be back for a third season?

Love this show. I like kambau too but I miss brand x on Thursdays when will there be more episodes?!?!
I like the show, I like his style. When will people stop breathing down his back it is a NEW SHOW ANY NEW show takes some time to gain it’s momentum and especially with someone as genuine as Russell Brand.

And not everyone really gets his humor or way, but his fans find him very entertaining and thought provoking. I think the show will do well if not it is a sad example of the mentality of all… Read more »
