Russell Brand was asked about American politics, but apparently, he had much bigger things on his mind… including his cat and the entire universe. In this hilarious appearance on CONAN, Brand admits he didn't even follow the election because he was too busy dealing with an incident involving his cat. You can already tell this wasn't going to be a conventional political conversation. When Conan tries to get his thoughts on government, Brand takes things in a completely unexpected direction. Instead of offering the usual political analysis, he suggests that monkeys, children or even clockwork mice could take on leadership roles. But he isn't finished. Brand then takes the conversation from Washington all the way into outer space, bringing up the Hubble Space Telescope and the enormous scale of the universe. His point, Compared with the vastness of the galaxy, human political drama can seem incredibly small. And just when Conan thinks he can steer the conversation back on track, Brand starts making some rather unexpected comments to people in the audience! That's the Russell Brand experience: unpredictable answers, unusual observations and absolutely no guarantee that a conversation will go where you expect. But here's a question: Is Brand making a deeper point about how small our political disagreements are, or is he simply enjoying the chaos.
