Russell Brand 'on the point of climax' over new series with FX

We’re not sure if wife Katy Perry should be as excited or insulted, but either way, Russell Brand is on the verge of metaphorical “Fireworks.”

The Hollywood Reporter reported the Get Him to the Greek comedian is over the moon about his new unscripted comedy series with cable network FX.

“I am so excited I’m on the point of climax; in fact I will put the ‘O’ into FX, which spells Fox, which is actually the channel’s real name,” he said in a statement. “That’s the only thing that really worries me about all this, to be honest. At least I’ll be able to have a Christmas drink with Bill O’Reilly.”

The New York Daily News reported FX picked up six episodes of the late-night show, which will feature the 36-year-old putting his own spin on current events, pop culture and politics.

The yet untitled show will premiere in spring next year and will be shot in front of a live audience.

“We’re very excited to add Russell Brand’s bracingly funny, original and honest voice to the FX comedy lineup,” FX Executive Vice President of Original Programming Nick Grad said in a statement.

Troy Miller, whose directing and producing resume includes shows like Flight of the Conchords, The Office, and Tenacious D, will serve as the show’s executive producer.
