Cheers: Conan's Brand Awareness
Russell Brand and Conan O'Brien by Dana Edelson/NBC Photo
Cheers to Russell Brand for an instant-classic appearance on
Late Night with Conan O'Brien. The bad-boy British stand-up, best known in this country for his outlandish role as rocker Aldous Snow in
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, opened his hyperkinetic segment by comparing coifs with the carrot-topped host: "We could build an arch of hair across the Atlantic uniting our two countries...We'd make a mockery of Lindbergh's achievements!" His verbal torrent continued with uproarious anecdotes about meeting the Queen ("a little part of me was thinking, 'Grab her boobs!'") and feuding with Rod Stewart ("a man who in his prime wore leopard-skin tights on a daily basis"). Conan concluded by calling Brand "the funniest person I've talked to in a long time" - and if you don't believe it, type "Russell Brand" and "Conan" into YouTube and laugh for yourself.
