If you live in England, chances are you already know all about Russell Brand. In the UK, he’s almost as famous for his tabloid exploits as a ladies’ man as he is for his award-winning stand up comedy, his weekly radio show, the TV programs he’s hosted, his tell-all autobiography about sex and drugs, and his newspaper column. He enters the American entertainment scene this Friday with his role in the new Judd-Apatow-produced film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and he talks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
