The Moment MSNBC Changed EVERYTHING For Russell Brand

This is a video of Russell Brand from 11 years ago on MSNBCs Morning Joe, and what’s really interesting and almost cool to see about it, is you witness Russell Brand become who Russell Brand is now as the result of how he was treated on this show at the time.

You can see how rudely they treat him and you can see the frustration building up in him, then finish with the clip where he becomes the Russell Brand he is now, and just absolutely shreds the mainstream media…

That actually turned my stomach to see how rude they were being to him. That's embarrassing. He held himself together well.

Russell Brandt is a brilliant man! Even there he had grace with them! God bless Russell!

[SweetHeart-vczy]

I AGREE. Russell is kicking their butts!

[Robinatorsoyster]

He smoked the entire office and totally flustered the un-male anchors

[johnlemon]

His performance was spot on. He exposed them and took everyone with him.

I watched this months ago. The actions of those “journalists” reminds me of how grade school children bully the kid who doesn’t conform to their childish actions. So juvenile. Brand is brilliant.

[EdwardoHernandez-tlvd]

He kicked their ass!!! And on the air!!! How Bad Ass is that !!! Thank you. Bless you.😂😂😂👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[unabellavita]

He is so strong and resilient. It is admirable! He has more back bone than most!

The shot of Mika taking that nervous gulp of water was hilarious.

I watched this whilst I was living in the states and I was embarrassed on behalf of the anchors, it was utterly vacuous, bizarre and humiliating (for them).

Kudos to Russell for annihilating their nonsense.

If there was ever the case of capturing being the smartest person in the room on live TV, this was it. On so many planes they should be embarrassed.

[ronaldhansen]

The MSNBC cast was strategically placed to "keep it light", and Joe was left off of the panel because they knew Joe would try to match wits with Russel Brand and be completely humiliated.

[wckedliz]

They didn’t even him afford common courtesy. He’s brilliant and they are rude, condescending and dismissive.

[johnsmith-gkry]

The lady with the short hair is particularly nasty. Wow she takes rudeness to a new level.

[JustAMinuteYT]

I think Mika was very actually attracted to Russell and she had no idea how to handle it. And she went into awkward schoolgirl phase.

[JJYSGYAJY]

The anchors of Morning Joe made a catastrophic tactical error - they assumed Brand to be a mere simpleton. Russell is anything but he is wicked smart and uses language to shred these clowns.

[jackknopf]

Ironically, he’s got more viewers now than MSNBC does on that morning Joke show.

[annwillett]

He has always been outspoken! That’s what I love about him ❤❤

[el_duderino]

I used to not like Russell Brand when he 1st became known in America but now I find him brilliant.

[joesmith]

Brand was doing a much better job than they were in reporting the news. He was making a point and making fun of them, and they still didn’t catch on to his vitriol. They still referred to him as if he wasn’t there. They are clowns, and still continue to be.
