Without a doubt, Russell Brand and Stephen Colbert can go head to head with just about anyone when it comes to debating any type of topic.We've seen Russell Brand in particular, silence hosts. Heck, he even managed to do so during his appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, something that usually does not happen.As we'll reveal, it was a different story for Brand during his 2017 conversation alongside Stephen Colbert. Fans were blown away by how Colbert was able to keep up with Russell during the conversation. Even Brand himself praised Colbert for his wit during their conversation.
Stephen Colbert And Russell Brand Have Taken Part In Some Wacky Interviews
Both Stephen Colbert and Russell Brand have taken part in some memorable interviews. Starting with Colbert, who can forget his epic brawl alongside Bruce Willis, as things went completely array on his show.
Colbert has also taken part in some tremendous conversations, one that instantly comes to mind would be his chat alongside Ricky Gervias, as the two discussed what happens in the afterlife. It turned out to be a great debate among two knowledgeable men, one that was watched by millions on platforms like YouTube.
On the flip side, Russell Brand knows how to hijack an interview and we've seen multiple instances in the past. The most memorable certainly comes from his appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Brand took exception to the host not knowing who he was, while the panel kept referring to the actor as "he," as if Brand was not present for the interview.
Brand went off on the panel, and it created one of the more memorable moments of both his career and Morning Joe.
This time around, Brand was going off script, but both himself and the fans were impressed by how Stephen Colbert was able to keep up with the interview.
Russell Brand Praised Stephen Colbert For His Quick Wit During Their Interview
We turn back the clock to 2017 for this memorable interview. Brand wasn't promoting a film alongside Stephen Colbert, instead, he was endorsing his self-help book, Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions.
Brand was his usual self at the start of the interview but a surprise to many, Colbert was able to keep up, dropping some knowledge of his own.
"Ourselves, we clothe and wrap in our bandages of other people's perceptions of us. We say those bandages are ourselves, without ever looking what is underneath, which is a hole in our heart the size of God," Colbert said.
Russell Brand himself looked stunned at the statement and sat himself straight up from his chair, stating, "A hole the size of God, that's very beautiful."
Brand was his usual self for the rest of the interview, and it was a great conversation between the two educated minds. Fans on YouTube seemed to agree, as the interview received some great feedback.
Fans Praised The Dialogue Between Stephen Colbert And Russell Brand
The chat between Brand and Colbert has over one million views on YouTube. Fans praised the conversation between both sides, especially when it came to Colbert and his ability to respond during moments of Russell Brand showing his incredible wit.
One fan stated, "This was beautiful and brilliant. It's awesome to see Russell's energy tempered a bit by someone who actually listens and challenges him, and it's equally awesome to see Stephen have a conversation where he's actually able to show his smarts and wisdom."
Another fan praised Colbert for his preparation, "Damn, my boy Stephen came prepared lol If it was Fallon, he'd just be giggling frantically around his desk, wondering what is going on."
"Just now realized what a phenomenal interview Stephen is. Brand's interviews are always interesting but most often because the interviewer is so completely lost and gets steamrolled, which doesn't serve anyone. Stephen met Brand where he's at and pulled out an interesting and awesome and even informative interview. Btw, I love Brand, he's madly beautiful," a fan mentioned complimenting both sides.
Here's to hoping we see these two minds reconnect at some point on Colbert's Late Night Show.
