Russell Brand has landed a new job!

Comedian Russell Brand has landed a new job as presenter for the MTV Awards.

The American’s all seem to love Russell’s witty charm and he will be the first ever Brit to present the show.

Bagging a great deal like this means big bucks, Russell will be earning a massive $1 million.

A source has said:

“The MTV gig is a huge deal for Russell. He will be beamed into living rooms right across America – everyone will know who he is by the end of the night. It’s going to be tough, but he has handled live awards shows before. And his stand-up gigs in America have gone down a storm so he should get some encouragement in that.”

Lets just hope that his eccentric character and use of words go down well with the A-listers and American viewers as this is a massive chance for Russell to get himself known across the world!
