Russell Brand slammed by Chelsea Handler

Comedian Russell Brand was not the ideal chat show guest, says TV host Chelsea Handler.

The "Chelsea Lately" host says the British comedian is the only interviewee to have been a "pain in the a**" during her seven-year stint on the show, and he caused havoc on set by disrupting filming schedules, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"The only person who was a pain in the a** was Russell Brand. I would never want him back," she was quoted by Britain's Grazia magazine as saying.

"He stopped all of our production schedules because he needed three espressos before he could even come on for his interview," she added.
