Russell Brand has landed his own TV show.

The comedian signed a deal with FX to host a late night series that will debut next spring. The show, which will start on a six-episode run, will be Brand's perspective on pop culture, politics and current events.

He said in a statement, "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."

The network remarked, "We're very excited to add Russell Brand's bracingly funny, original, and honest voice to the FX comedy lineup."
