James Corden should fuck off

Yeah, really. We're not yet living in that post-hooligan utopia where it's okay to reclaim violent yob chants.

Not okay to reclaim Tears for Fears either.

Robbie Williams (yes, other punchable cnut, I know) also reclaimed "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" for Millennium.

And Fat Les (yes, punchable cnuts, I know) to thread.

I sense a theme.

He's so needy and smarmy, and clearly unfulfilled by his previously credible acting career to the extent he insists on becoming an all-round (lol, fat bastard) media celebrity scumbag

I get this, but people keep letting him! Why is that? Does anyone actually *like* James Corden, media gobshite?

he's pretty popular outside of ilx as far a i can tell. well except for that sketch show he did.

but why on earth IS he popular? what kind of moron do you have to be to find him funny/worthwhile?

also i just remembered that other total cunt of a comedian, frankie boyle. maybe even worse?

i HATE these people so fucking much. actual scum of the earth. vile.

He seems to have a Calumesque short fuse for being challenged in any slight way.

sometimes in very dark moments, I remember I'm not James Corden, and life seems a little bit better.

Something about comics: they get really annoyed if someone else starts trying to make jokes on their patch, as if others need a zing permit while they are there.

He's just graceless, and I'm a snob, I guess.

Captain Picard needs better zings than 'lol u fat' if he wants something more graceful than 'lol u old' in response.

true...but corden's demeanour etc is fucking repulsive.

I thought JC's response was more about PatStew boring the audience, but then I didn't see it so...

no i think your right

yeah Stewart actually comes off worse there which takes some doing. what the hell is he doing hosting the Glamour Awards anyway?

Corden would make a really crap X Man.

XL Man morelikeamirite?

I dunno, if they're looking to cast The Blob...

ahahahaha Tom

Zoe Saldana.

Cheryl Cole thanked her dentist in her acceptance speech
Accepting her award, she said to Corden: "I like your belly but I'd like to see Sir Patrick Stewart dying on stage any day."

Corden then said: "I feel bad for people who haven't seen my belly."

To huge applause, the Gavin and Stacey star lifted his T-shirt, revealing his tummy.

Referring to Sir Patrick, he said: "OK can we get a taxi really quickly please. There's an old man going home."

Several stars commented on the verbal tussle.

"Entertaining"

Nowhere Boy actor Aaron Johnson said: "I love your belly. That was intense. I didn't know where to look."

NEXT STOP JC'S ARSE!

Bloody picture captions! Ignore the Cheryl Code line, that was Zoe Saldana who said that.

NEXT STOP JC'S ARSE!

Klingons on the starboard bow...

Was PS making a joke that went wrong? That footage is so repulsive, JC all leaning into PS's face jeering at him like an obnoxious drunk. I don't understand why the more hateful tabloids are all STEWART BATTERED BY CORDEN'S SCATHING WIT about it. Does his PR pull strings high up at the Sun/Mail?

That extension is A+++, shame it's not on firefox.

Don't know if JC said something before that head to head, but it appeared to be an unprovoked attack from PS. Uncalled for, no? The Jonas Brothers gag too, what was that all about?

James Corden stands for an awful lot of things that I despise, mainly bullying 'funny' ladism. I loathe his face, his manner, and even the shortest trailers for that f'ing Question of Sport thing that he does is enough to make me wallow in bitter misanthropy for the rest of the day. But seeing him in One Man, Two Guv'nors yesterday had me crying with laughter, admiring his wit, geniality and sensitivity to an audience, his immense capacity for genuinely funny clowning and physical humour. Yes, you could say that he's a good actor, which obscures the less palatable public personality, but it's not as simple as that; the play is clearly directed around James Corden - he's required numerous times to rely on his personality and stores of, to me generally non-existant, charm., and yet it was completely winning. Mysterious.

Was on a friend's list as plays to see. No way in hell, I said...

Apparently he's really harsh to crew according to a friend who worked at the Brits. Major crime in my book.

also he's a smug unfunny cunt which doesn't help

He did give his fee to charity tho' (£50k!?) so you know, not a complete waste.

I'll be on the road to enlightenment when I can not feel that shudder when confronted by james corden.

xyzzzz and NV otm, but, as I say, I was impressed despite myself. Won't stop me lurching at speed to the off button whenever I see his f'ing face on trailers for that sports quiz programme.

And I don't like farces or comedy for that matter. Must have been temporarily overcome.

I feel like sending Nina Tassler, president of CBS, a link to this thread.

Yeah, having seen this guy's show... he should fuck off.

Everything about his Late Late Show is pretty appealing except for him.

lol as britisher pretty glad he has fucked off

(bcos who in britain ever hears about american popular culture lol)

Pinefox hilariously OTM from first post onwards.

Prime hating from Lex too.

Ah, young and innocent days.

this show is pretty awful, isn't it? it's obvious that CBS got exactly what they wanted -- a show aping Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. only lacking Fallon's modestly redeeming qualities of earnestness and awkwardness. the result feels not just dumb but cynical.

corden has no evident rapport with reggie watts, an interesting and talented guy whose role on this show could be assumed by just about anyone (indeed, the best thing about the show is its theme tune). the band giggles on cue when corden makes one of his mirthless quips, but it's evidently forced.

the group discussion seldom pays dividents, since usually the conversation descends to the level of the lowest common denominator (which is often corden himself; witness his embarrassing refusal to talk to michael douglas about anything other than "basic instinct").

i was getting tired of craig ferguson's schtick by the end--and even complained that he was a smart guy who was deliberately playing that down--but boy do i miss him.

on the other hand, i get to sleep earlier these days.

It's less Jimmy Fallon and more like a dumbed down version of Graham Norton (if that's even possible) for US network late night. I've only watched it 3 or 4 times so far, but he seems to know a lot of really famous people, or really famous people are comfortable around him at least. It's weird.

Maybe when they cancel him, Scott Thompson will finally get looked at for a hosting gig.

how are his ratings? even if he isn't doing well, I suspect CBS will probably keep him on for a few years.

one strange thing about the show is that somebody (corden? his producers? CBS?) seems to have decided that they should act as though the show has been around for a while. there's little reflexive acknowledgment that the show is new, segments are unfamiliar, etc. the confidence that reviewers noted seems to add to the show's feeling of slick indifference.

the biggest problem, though, is just corden's witlessness.

i guess it's just too bad that soon the only laid-back genuine talk show on network late night may be seth fucking meyers. he's a total talentless nonentity--i've yet to meet anyone who has expressed even the slightest bit of enthusiasm for his show. it's soporific. but all the other shows seem to be more "variety show" than "talk show."

I'm still fond of Fallon, though I appreciated the less formalized Late Night more than I do his Tonight Show. Everything about Seth Meyers' show is awful, though, from the monologue to the band to the scripted bits. Even the set sucks (still, even after a redesign). Come September, Stephen Colbert will be the oldest host with an 11:37 show, but even he seems like more of a gamesman than modern day Letterman. He should be a decent interviewer now that he no longer has to do it in character, though.

corden was pretty much loathed over in the uk by everyone except mainstream tv execs (could anyone say they were a fan of this guy?) so here's hoping america completely destroys him. 'mirthless' and lowest common denominator sums him up perfectly, just a dumb hateful guy who doesn't even pay lip service to 'smart'.
