Russell Brand kisses off on US TV show

The 35-year-old funny-man was Rachael's first ever guest to be on for the whole show. He kissed her three times to show his love. Brand even had a kiss for a male guest, animal expert Jarod Miller, after greeting him with, 'Hello darling.'

As well as his kissing, Brand's banter also showed that marriage to pop star Katy Perry is not going to end his cheeky sexually-charged banter.

Invited to play a game Ray calls 'Stump the Rach', Brand quipped, 'Rachael, I've been ready to stump you for some time. I'm surprised it took this long.' After finishing the game, he added, 'You've been stumped so thoroughly, Rachael, I think you're marriage might be over.'

As well as games, Brand cooked with Ray, wearing a 'Kiss The Cook' apron and also handled a number of exotic animals, feeding a wildebeest and leaving Ray jumping away in terror with a legless lizard that she assumed was a snake.
