It looks like Russell Brand is well on his way cracking America. He may have offended many Americans when he presented the MTV VMA’s earlier this week but it seems as though the bigwigs at MTV were impressed nonetheless and want him to do it again!

‘MTV told me they want me to do it again,’ said Russell to The Sun.

‘Afterwards they were really thrilled. There was a 20 per cent increase in viewers from last year’s show and wow, isn’t life exciting.

Russell added: ‘The VMA’s are the hardest thing I have ever done and I will think very carefully before accepting their king offer of doing it again.

‘I spent a lot of time suppressing the urge to scream a career-ending remark during the show. The knowledge that you could say something that would make the world go nuts was difficult.’
