FX is taking a big risk and it is a risk I can’t wait to see this spring. The network that has given us Rescue Me, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Nip/Tuck, Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story, is doing a little Nip/Tuck and asking Russell Brand to rescue them with his own talk show. I am sure some people are thinking that is a horror, but it made my day a little more sunny!
Mr Katy Perry will be hosting 6 episodes in front of a live audience where he will talk about current events, politics and pop culture. Who knew he knew anything about current events and politics, but I guess he does. And if he doesn’t know something, he can ask the audience for help because they are a big part of the show.
So what does he say about his first American show that is all his, here is what he said on the press release “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. That’s the only thing that worries me about all this to be honest. At least I’ll be able to have a Christmas drink with Bill O’Reilly.”
I would love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting and I want to be an audience member for taping.
The best part about this show being on FX is he will be able to push the button further than he can ever dream of on network TV. And I am sure he will push that button harder than anyone ever has before.
