Rosie O’Donnell gets her wish: Russell Brand will be the first guest on her new talk show. The Oprah Winfrey Network announced Thursday that the comedian and actor will appear on the Oct. 10 premiere of The Rosie Show. O’Donnell has said she’s fascinated with Brand and called him a genius. She previously said she would love to have him as her first guest.
The show will air on the Oprah Winfrey Network, which promises Brand will be “one of many notable celebrities” during the show’s first two weeks. O’Donnell will tape in Chicago’s Harpo Studios, former home of The Oprah Winfrey Show until it ended in May after 25 years.
Brand was featured in the movies Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, and Arthur.

Everyone I know loves Rosies so much. I can’t wait for her new show to start. Hurry up Oct 10!!!!
Evidently, you have a very small circle of friends.
I am a Rosie fan, and think Russel Brand is not only hilarious, but really very intelligent. Sounds like a great first show!
The two biggest names in comedy in one show! Aren’t we going to be lucky viewers?
I just don’t get the love for Russell Brand. I’m sure he’s a nice, intelligent guy, but — I just don’t get it.
How can anyone like Rosie O’Donnell??? She is CRAZY, and that’s being nice!!! She called our soldiers “TERRORISTS”!!!!
AMY..she didn’t call our soldiers terrorists…I watched the Vew EVERY day she was on it. She was speaking from the perspective of the innocent Iraqi people….people who did NOTHING to us. We invaded a sovereign nation….against the UN….a nation who had nothing to do with 9/11. If someone did that to US…what would we call them?
She did call our soldiers terrorists!!! I was watching the day she did it! That’s why she was FIRED!!!! She is a B!TCH!!!!!
I love Oprah Winfrey! I have so much respect for her! I do not understand why she gave that b!tch her own show!
Wow – can’t wait. She can do her Asian impressions and he can do retard jokes and blame Bush for the UK riots. Sign me up!
Well, that tells us a lot about a show that won’t be on in a couple of years.
I don’t know what Katy Perry sees in him he’s not really that handsome
I believe Russel and Katie are wonderful and I wish them 100 years of happiness!
i am 53 year old canadian woman who finds Russel to be very charming and gorgeus!!!!
I’d hit that *hard*. Brand just does it for me.
