A Brand new Russ

BIG Brother’s Big Mouth chiefs have rustled up the ideal replacement for Russell Brand – another comedian called Russell!

They are tipped to sign stand-up Russell Howard this week as the new host of the BB debate show.

They have faced a hard struggle to find a suitable presenter for the late-night show after Brand, 31, said he was quitting.

But it seems 25-year-old Howard, who has also appeared on Mock The Week, is the man.

Big Mouth resumes on E4 when BB8 returns on C4 at the end of the month.

A spokesman said: “Nothing has been confirmed.”

I'd prefer an unknown like him (or at least I havent heard of him...), so that's good news I guess.

Hopefully he'll be good. He looks interesting, so I'll give him a chance.

Thats what I was thinking. Just by the look of him he seems like 'the type'.

Ive seen Russell Howard on Mock The Week and he is hilarious, hes not rude like Brand, although i just couldnt pictures Howard breezing through the studio and guests like Brand did

[Bells]

I know yeah, I just saw his picture and thought, 'Ooh he seems to look the part.'

EDIT: blackgloves, that sounds good then.

According to wikipedia he is well known for his inprovisational skills , which should come in very handy during the live Big Mouth.

Hmm, this guy isn't that funny and he's totally the opposite from Brand, he's more nerdy. Maybe this guy just replaces Russell Brand for a living, because when Russell Brand left his BBC 6 Music show to go to Radio 2, Russell Howard replaced him on 6 Music.

[andybigbro]

He should be pretty Good

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Sounds interesting. Thanks for posting

[Matt]

Never heard of him and I would much prefer Alan Carr!

[MuSiiK_Maaaaaan]

Russel Howard is very funny...hes a regular on mock the week, and he has an ability to improvise, which will be good for BBBM...

Much better than Allan Carr...who sometimes becomes bogged down in being tediously annoyingly camp...

[Matt]

If he does get the job then it will probably do the same thing for his career as it did for Russell Brand

[Michael]

yeah but its from the DAILY STAR...

[Matt]

Good point.

[Michael]

yup...telefans eye etc.
