Brand returns to VMA hosting duties
MTV awards show set for Sept. 13

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

MTV says Russell Brand will host the Video Music Awards for the second year in a row.

The live event will be held in New York on Sept. 13. It will be staged at different venues, including Radio City Music Hall, where the VMAs were broadcast in 2006.

Brand - known for his deadpan, off-kilter humor - hosted last year's show in Los Angeles.

MTV says country superstar Taylor Swift will perform.

The nominees and other performers will be announced at a later date.

He isn't funny. I think the audience didn't get his jokes either.

I had never heard of him before he hosted last year and I still only know him as the weird guy that hosted the VMAs.

Why is he so popular? I don't think he is funny at all.

Have you seen this?
He is going to remake "Drop Dead Fred" and Dudley Moore's Arthur.

Loved him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but don't know anything else he's done.

Dudley Moore's Arthur remake could be funny.

Am a big fan of Brand myself though I doubt I'll watch the VMA's.

I can't believe they still produce this show. Do they even make music videos anymore?? And it's time to change the name of the network. What they do now has very little to do with music.

I agree that he was great IN FSM. If you liked that check out his stand up:Russell Brand in New York City.

He makes plenty of jokes relating to his experience hosting the VMA's and his character in FSM.

But, I don't think I'd watch the VMA's if Jessica Alba was hosting naked. So there's no chance of me watching for Russell Brand.
