The minute he, or his agent, or whoever, agreed to be on with Ross and/or Brand, he was in for smut
Supposing that their agent was completely honest with him, of course. And even if he was fully briefed, I imagine he was expecting smut that he'd be able to respond to; Jonathan Ross may be a bit bawdy but he's light entertainment personified (and do many 78 year olds know who Russell Brand even is?)
They're both professional radio hosts, I'm sure there have been plenty of other instances where a guest hasn't answered or appeared on time and they've changed tack accordingly. Why launch straight into the vulgar stuff on his answering machine? (Speaking of which, has there been any mention of why he didn't answer the phone yet?)
