Wow! Thank you MTV!
The British actor and comedian will host this year’s Video Music Awards, set to air live from Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles on Sept. 7, MTV told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Brand recently co-starred in the Judd Apatow-produced comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and the Reese Witherspoon-produced fairy tale “Penelope.” He is currently filming the Adam Sandler comedy”Bedtime Stories,” slated for release later this year.
“I’ve just been invited to do it,” Brand said in a telephone interview from London. “It’ll be good to preside over what is sure to be only vaguely coordinated televised insanity.”
