Russell Brand may have shocked some people with his risqué comments while hosting the MTV VMAs on Sunday. But seemingly not the MTV execs, who, he says, have asked him to host the awards again next year.
Brand told The Mirror: "My phone hasn't stopped ringing. Most people thought it was great and I'm pleased with how it went. The executive producer came up to me straight after the show and asked me to sign up to do next year's awards too. The viewing figures went up 20 per cent on last year's show which is unbelievable. I'm really flattered. It is the hardest thing I've ever done and I will think very carefully about accepting. I spent a lot of time suppressing the urge to scream a career-ending remark during the show".
Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers, who were the butt of many jokes about purity rings and abstinence made by Brand, also seemed to have enjoyed his performance. Nick Jonas told BBC Newsbeat: "For us, it's cool to see that he recognizes we are gentlemen. I think he did a good job. We saw him on Conan O'Brien and thought he was hilarious".
