Russell Peters on Touring with Charlie Sheen


Russell Peters is the shit!  He's up there with Chris Rock, Bill Maher and George Carlin (RIP frowny face) as far as I'm concerned...yeah, fuck Celine Dion!  This guy's Canada's National Treasure!

Lately, Peters has been in the news for touring on Charlie's Violent Troll Killing tour or whatever and interviewing the warlock onstage during some of his shows.  Here's what Peters said about the experience:

"The first night was like pulling teeth and I even told him when we got off, I go: 'Dude, you're killing me up there. You're not giving me anything.' And he goes, 'Yeah, I'm sorry man, I'm just tired.'  "And I go: 'All right, whatever, but you know, if you want these shows to go well, you're going to have to help me a little bit there, kid ... a brown man is drowning up there.' The second night was much better."

Peters even got to chill out with the vatican assassin afterwards at a downtown club but was not treated to any sort of drinking, coke-fueled, porn star fucking binge - instead he says, "He just sat down and drank Red Bull. I'm like, 'This is not really the Charlie Sheen party experience I was hoping for."

Bottom line is he likes Charlie, "Charlie's a great dude and I'm only saying that because the version of him I met was great. I mean, I never met the crackhead Charlie Sheen. I'm sure I wouldn't like that guy, you know what I mean?  But the version of Charlie I met, he was really sweet, generous, cool, fun, nice, smart, intelligent, so I had no problem with good old Charlie there."

Peters went on to say, "I ... was hoping to come out of it with some great, crazy Charlie Sheen stories and I got nothin'."

Maybe Charlie is getting his shit together now that Kelso took over his show.  Would've made for some mad good stand-up for Peters if he had experienced a bender with the King of Fuckery but hey, he's got a damn fine show anyway...Hell, around my crib we quote his Dance, Dance, Revolution bit (see video) ALL THE TIME.
