FX is dipping its network toe in late night waters with the Thursday, June 28th debut of STRANGELY UPLIFTING. They’ve ordered six half-hour installments of the series that will feature Brit comic RUSSELL BRAND espousing his unique, unfiltered take on current events. Set to be shot before a live audience, the series will take advantage of BRAND’S ability to riff on his fans.

At the press conference to announce the show, BRAND was his usual caustic self when explaining what audiences can expect. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
