The comedian, whose obscene calls with Jonathan Ross to actor Andrew Sachs caused outrage, appeared live from LA, where US actor Adam Sandler presented his award. Brand said: “I’d like to dedicate this award to Jonathan Ross, he’s the kingmaker.”
He also jokingly invited Sandler to appear on a radio show with him, saying: “I’m very good on the wireless. That’s where I come to life. I’m edgy.”

Mr Sachs, 75, said last night: “I haven’t seen his stand-up so I can’t comment on whether he should have won the award.”
Ross, who was forced to step down as host of the awards, failed to show at the London ceremony, even though his chat show was nominated for Best Comedy Entertainment Programme.
His replacement, Angus Deayton, brought gasps as he explained why he was there instead, saying: “It’s a long story involving a late-night radio show, some ill-advised phone calls and 30,000 self-righteous tw*ts who didn’t even listen to the thing in the first place.”
Ross’s show lost out to Harry Hill’s TV Burp.
Other winners included Ricky Gervais, who picked up Best TV Comedy Actor, Alan Carr, voted Best Comedy Entertainment Personality, and veteran Jasper Carrot, who was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award.
