Celebrity comebacks Russell Brand tucker carlson
Russell Brand praying on stage with Tucker Carlson prompted no end of funny comebacks but this one beat all-comers
If you’re wondering what Russell Brand’s up to right now – no? – it turns out he’s on stage praying with former Fox News presenter, Tucker Carlson.
No, we didn’t guess that either.
Recent Christianity convert Brand – who faces allegations that he sexually and emotionally abused four women, accusations which he denies – joined Carlson on the first leg of a 16-date live tour.

Brand’s appearance prompted no end of entirely on-point responses.

I was raised Catholic and went to mass every week for 18 odd years. In that time I never saw religion used as performatively as Russell Brand has managed in the handful of months since his conversion. https://t.co/BG2DHebuTx

Looks like they're in the middle of a Paul McKenna hypnosis show.
"OK, when you wake up you'll be born-again Christians, but Russell, you'll shout 'God bless mother Wussia' whenever I play the Tetris theme tune, and Tucker, you'll sing like a canary whenever I say 'plea-bargain' https://t.co/LNO2Zi3mor

People like to say they never trusted Brand but you have to admit he’s excelled himself as one of our era’s most shameless rotters https://t.co/ldgcgWeIP0

That’s nice and all but Jesus has some pretty strong words against praying so that others see you fyi it’s actually a famous part of the sermon on the mount which is in Matthew chapters 5-8 in case you’re unfamiliar https://t.co/JelagIVJYY

As a lifelong atheist, I still know enough about Jesus to know he'd fucking hate this pair of cunts. Amen. https://t.co/B4XU1P9xHd

But surely on-one put it better than this.
this arc is the only funny thing in his entire career https://t.co/LI8P1vAIh4

Mega oof.
Someone later suggested that Brand didn’t exactly look delighted with his lot, but you’ll have to make your own mind up.
If it helps, you can see Russell Brand’s hideous realisation of who he has to hang out with now, repeated over and over in real time. He’s in purgatory. If Trump loses, the extra irrelevance and pointlessness will propel him directly into hell. https://t.co/WUyFAFOio7

We never thought we’d feel sorry for Russell Brand. And we were right.
