    1. Russell Brand

    It's a razzle-dazzle, knock-your-socks-off kind of premiere for The Rosie Show—complete with a chorus of Broadway dancers.

Plus, Russell gives the boy who "saved Rosie's life" a special shout-out. The live premiere concludes with a fierce round of The Ro Game—the game sensation where every correct answer has the sound "ro" in it—and a surprise final guest for Rosie.
