Despite Brand's controversial compering of the ceremony, which included jokes about the Jonas Brothers' virginity and George Bush, the comic told The Sun that the show had impressive ratings.
"MTV told me they want me to do it again. Afterwards they were really thrilled. There was a 20% increase in viewers from last year's show and wow, isn't life exciting?"
However, Brand confessed that he found hosting duties difficult and hadn't yet agreed to MTV's offer.
He said: "The VMAs are the hardest thing I have ever done and I will think very carefully before accepting their kind offer of doing it again.
"I spent a lot of time suppressing the urge to scream a career-ending remark during the show. The knowledge that you could say something that would make the world go nuts was difficult."
