FX renews 'BrandX', 'Totally Biased'

MUMBAI: US media conglomerate News Corp?s cable network FX has ordered 13 additional episodes of both of its late night comedy series, ?BrandX with Russell Brand? and ?Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell?. The announcement was made by FX executive VP of original programming Nick Grad.

Grad said, "We?re proud to have two of the most strikingly original and funny voices in late night as part of the FX comedy lineup. Russell?s irrepressible energy and unique style have made BrandX a daring show where anything can happen. Kamau is one of the sharpest, smartest and funniest comedians in the business. The New York Times called him ?the most promising talent in political comedy in many years,? and we couldn?t agree more."

BrandX aims Russell Brand?s skillset at the traditional monologue, celebrity interviews, and audiences segments. ?Totally Biased? stars standup comedian W. Kamau Bell as he hilariously dissects politics, pop culture, race, religion, sex and the media from his own unique point of view. The show features live guests and taped segments.
