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. Morgan met Russell Brand when he was working as an intern on MTV.
[1] 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.
[2] 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.
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.
