Now Brand's On Obama's Voicemail












Russell Brand is back to his best on the radio – leaving cheeky messages for Barack Obama and even joking with Jonathon Ross.

It has been six months since Russ handed in his notice at Radio 2 after the Sachsgate scandal.

But he was on TalkSport last night with co-host Noel Gallagher and showed just what the airwaves have been missing.

I was there for the wisely pre-recorded show on Saturday to witness the lads in full swing — and it was priceless to see station bosses nervously pacing the studio.

Apart from leaving a recorded message at the White House and an impromptu phone call to Wossy, he coaxed Oasis star Noel into a series of cutting comments.

The show was a perfect platform for West Ham fan Russ and die-hard Man City supporter Noel to talk football.

At one stage Russell put in a call to the Presidential answerphone demanding to know if President Obama really is a West Ham fan, as reported by me in January. He also asked why he hadn’t been thanked for urging voters to back Obama at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Noel’s highlights included him saying: “I would rather smother my own son than let him support Tottenham Hotspur.”

Jonathan Ross mocked Russell on air for being an unlikely West Ham fan because on the surface “he appears to be homosexual”.

This prompted another off the cuff song from Russell, reminiscent of the moment he rhymed “consensual” and “menstrual” in his Sachsgate song.

Brave

Talksport were brave giving Russell his first chance back on the airwaves, but they should make it a regular gig. It would be the best show on the airwaves.

Russell told me: “I would love to spend more time talking to Noel on radio and what better thing to discuss than sport and football?

“I spoke to Jonathan Ross, I left an voicemail message and so far no one from the Daily Mail seems troubled.”

Radio 1 should offer him megabucks to replace Chris Moyles on the breakfast show.
