Russell Brand lived up to his eccentric, laughable and inappropriate reputation on Monday when he made an NSFW appearance on MSNBC‘s ‘Morning Joe.’
Brand appeared on the morning program to promote his comedy tour, The Messiah Complex, but the situation quickly began to go downhill after host Mika Brzezinski leaned over her desk to help the comedian fix part of table that he had accidentally moved out of place.
“Careful, ’cause that’s a low cut dress… I’m only flesh and blood. I’ve got instincts,” Brand stated to the host, who was made visibly uncomfortable by the comedian’s remarks.
But that was just the beginning.
When co-host Brian Shactman began to ask Brand a question, the comedian began to turn his chair and jeer at MSNBC staff who were working at computers off cameras, telling them to “work more quietly” and asking whether they could watch pornography on the office computers.
Things got worse, however, as the comedian began to mock the hosts asking, “Is this what you do for a living?” and stating that they “are typically very, very good at their jobs.”
The comedian then basically took over the program and began acting as if he was the host, posing questions to viewers regarding National Security Agency’s whistleblower, Edward Snowden, and Wiki-leaks’ Bradley Manning.
Brand then went on to ostentatiously hit on host Mika Brzezinski, calling her an inappropriate name and suggesting that she should “lose her ring” on her hand.
In the “What we have learned today” segment, Joe Scarborough, who was absent from the ‘Morning Joe‘ interview with Brand, stated that fans on Twitter seemed to enjoy the strange interaction and called for Brand to replace Scarborough on the morning show.
“They want morning Russell and Mika,” Scarborough stated.
