Piers Morgans Hilarious Jim Moment in Interview

has been compared to Jim Halpert from The Office after his hilarious look to the camera during an excruciating moment in his interview with over the weekend. 

The broadcaster, 61, had the comedian and actor, 50, on his Uncensored channel where they spoke about his ongoing court case.

Brand faces trial in October for three counts of rape, three of sexual assault and one of indecent assault against six women, between 1999 to 2009. He denies all charges. 

During the chat Brand admitted that he thought about the prospect of going to prison 'every day', while Morgan also asked Brand why had decided to take a Bible with him to a hearing at Southwark Crown Court in February.

Noticing Brand again had a Bible with him on the show, he asked if it was the same one. 'Yes, the very one,' Brand replied. 

The Uncensored host then asked: 'What was your thinking in taking it into court? You were seen looking at some passages… what were the relevant passages for you?'

Brand then confidently opened the Bible, only to find himself stymied at being able to find the exact passage he was looking for.

Flicking pages back and forth, Brand could be heard sighing, tutting and muttering to himself as Morgan simply looked on and awaited the answer.

A few times Brand appeared to have found the right one, announcing 'it says here', only to then shake his head and turn the pages again. 

At one point Morgan looked directly into the camera, as 90 seconds of dead air and silence throughout the awkward segment continued.

Eventually Brand resigned himself to not being able to find it and said 'The verse I was looking at that day...I can't actually find the verse that I had that day...but this one is good enough.'

Morgan has now been compared to Jim from The Office due to the moment as one penned on X: 'Piers staring at Russell then looking at the camera like Jim from The Office is sending me.',

'There are big Tim from The Office vibes here.',

'Brilliantly played.',

'I was just gonna say - not piers Morgan's look to camera like he's Jim from the office.',

'This turn to camera.', 

'cinema'. 

Jim, played by John Krasinski, was best known for his self-deprecating and ironic sense of humour and would often stare at the camera in funny moments - breaking the fourth wall.
