How metal is comedian/actor Brian Posehn? Well, for a direct answer to that question, see Random Rules, but for more evidence, check out MTV2's Headbangers Ball this weekend. Posehn, whose new album, Live In: Nerd Rage was released by metal label Relapse, will guest-host the show Saturday at 10 p.m. EST.

In addition to choosing videos—Anthrax? Exodus, maybe?—Posehn will debut the video for "Metal By Numbers," which appears on his CD. The video features guest appearances by Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Joey Vera (Armored Saint). That doesn't sound very metal.
