| | | British Pop Icon. Rock Star. Ladies Man.
Features: DVD
The unexpected star and scene-stealer of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and the controversial host of the 2008 VMA's, Russell Brand makes his Comedy Central debut with Russell Brand in New York City. Detailing the difficulty of handling his newfound fame in America, recounting the time he met the Queen, and instructing women on how to approach him, Russell Brand proves he's the hottest thing to come out of Britain since The Beatles.

In this Comedy Central special, the scruffy British comedian riffs on the difficulties of being quasi-famous, meeting Britney Spears, and adjusting to life in the U.S.
