Matt Morgan (comedian)
British comedian
Matthew Morgan is a British comedy writer and radio presenter. He is best known for his work with Russell Brand, with whom he shared numerous writing credits, as well as co-hosting The Russell Brand Show on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X.
Career
Writing
Morgan met Russell Brand when he was working as an intern on MTV. He first joined with Brand after the presenter told him he had a television show idea which was "good" and "commissioned", and that Morgan should work on it with him; Morgan later joked that neither of those things turned out to be true.
Radio
Morgan was the co-host of The Russell Brand Show from its initial conception in 2006 on BBC Radio 2 until its finish following Brand's resignation due to the prank telephone calls row. On the radio show, Morgan played the straight man to Brand's cheeky chappy persona, often mimicking Brand's accent and singing. In his memoir, Booky Wook 2, Brand asserted that he and Morgan got into a row following Brand's controversial turn as the host of the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards (which the men co-wrote), and Morgan refused to return to the show.
When Brand returned to talk radio in the Autumn of 2010, Morgan rejoined The Russell Brand Show.
