Now We Understand Why These Celebs Can't Stand James Corden

What do you think about James Corden?

I hate it when people criticise Corden for his size.... there’s so much more to his seemingly endless string of bad qualities.

To this day I am perplexed as to how and why this man is where he is. He's just completely unremarkable in every way. What has he done to earn his position?

Tbh for any Americans who don’t know already, there’s a reason James Corden works in America while other brits tend to try to work on both sides, it’s because nobody in the UK generally like Corden nor do we think he’s funny, it seems to be only Americans these days who will give him a role like the late show primarily because of his accent

I flew the guy about 7 years ago. One of the rudest people I have ever met. So much so that his mate flying with him was telling him so. This doesn’t surprise me at all

Corden is literally the epitome of someone who is not particularly charismatic or talented who basically made it in the US just because he has the aura of the British accent

I'm English, so I pretty much saw the 'rise' of Corden happen in real time. After Gavin and Stacy hit it big, Corden started appearing on literally every British tv show he could. Chat shows, quiz shows, 'magazine' shows, you name it, if there was a chance of famous people being on there, he'd be there too. TV producers also saw Corden as a cheap option just to help 'pad out' the roster for that nights show, too, so he'd often appear on chat shows with one 'big', 'expensive' star like Tom Cruise, and a couple of 'cheaper', 'easier to get' minor celebs like British comedians or soap 'stars'. Once he'd 'got his foot in the door' though, he would sycophantically arse-lick every famous person he possibly could in a desperate attempt to befriend them, often to the detriment of whatever show he was appearing on because it was always cringey, and always completely obvious to everyone what he was doing. That's probably why he's a 'hit' on American tv now. American celebs seem more open to that level of brown-nosing, whereas in England, we see through that shit straight away. It's why Corden is so despised by many people in Britain now.

What's the diffrence between Gervais and Corden? Gervais isn't a hollywood sellout and he is actually funny!

He's using the format that Graham Norton uses on his show in the UK where celebrities are interviewed together, but without the wit and interviewing skills.

I can’t imagine Ricky Gervais actually hating anyone in Hollywood. He made a joke about Jane Cordan and roasted him like he does everyone

We can't stand James Corden, we understand why anyone can't stand him

How dare you say JC and Ricky Gervais had the same career trajectory? RG created The Office - arguably one of the greatest television series ever. There is no basis for comparison based on their talents

I think he's let the fame go straight to his head now and has become quite arrogant.

He stayed at a local hotel and was demeaning and rude to the staff. I think that says it all.

I'm not surprised that Liam Gallagher doesn't like Cordon. Gallagher doesn't like ANYONE...including his own brother.

James Corden is a prime example of why we should be more realistic when we tell children, "you can be anything they want."

"Britain's loss, is America's loss also" - Stewart Lee

He rarely stops yelling and screaming. It’s bad enough that it happens in bars and game shows. Now it’s everywhere. I prefer to watch television where they actually talk in a calm narrative. We retain little when they scream all the time.

I'm from the same town where James Corden grew up and I can't stand him either! He's a one - pump Charlie with limited appeal and it's a wonder to most of the townsfolk of High Wycombe how he got to where he is - a part of me has to admire him though because he's managed to cheese his way to the big time USA from the doldrums of our crappy little town with minimal talent but great showbiz networking skills it seems and I'm certain that's where his "talent" really lies, it's not what you know but who you know, (or what you've got on who you know.) However, Ricky Gervais IS very talented and he grew up in Reading which is not far from High Wycombe and he is a GREAT British Comedy export whereas Corden just wishes he was Mr Gervais.

Dear Americans, please keep James Corden. Sincerely from a Brit

I'm pretty shocked there was nothing about how uncomfortable some of the male celebrities that come on his show that he's all over. An some of the male celebrities are extremely uncomfortable with his behavior.

if most people hate you, it MIGHT be a sign that most people find you hateful and disgustingly smug . unfortunately most people like him don't even notice that people can't stand him. they just move through life as if everyone must love them anyway

It is most definitely not okay to Fat shame anyone because if that person ends up hurting themselves because of your words then that's your fault. Always be careful with what you say because you never know what someone is going through.

It appears that a lot of Brits don't like Cordon. So he's here and soon a lot of Americans won't like him.

He"s bloody awful, that's why he's on late night US TV. He fits in perfectly with the others.

I'm a Brit, we're ashamed of him, sorry.

USA please keep Corden! We’ll share our British gem Mr. Gervais though…🇬🇧👍🏻

The funniest phrase in this whole piece was “Patrick’s new girlfriend.”

I always think you can tell what comedians are truly funny and don’t just have good writers with panel shows and with him it was him always laughing obnoxiously loud at what other panelists said

It's mad how this lad co-wrote a great show and played an iconic character on that show and now he is one of the biggest talk show hosts in America. I don't understand how it happened and i don't really feel like looking into it.

You know you've got a problem when you make Patrick Stewart angry.

He tried to get people who make him famous, paid less. That's abhorrent, and very revealing about his character. Gross.

Ricky Gervais has actual talent, and is a good person. Talk about night and day.

Ok. That he wanted to decrease writer's pay and went out of his way to influence that - ticks me off. I'll have to look further into that though. This whole anti James Corden clip has me skeptical in a really don't care way.

That split at the end during the parachute landing made me laugh so hard. I rewatched it 4 times

My opinion about him is that I loved the show "The wrong men's". He created it and wrote it and was one of the main characters. That show is great in my opinion. I don't know much else about him 😅

I forget which guest asked Cordon “do you know the names of your cameramen?” Of course he said yeah and when the guest said “ok, what’s his name (points to a cameraman)?” And Cordon stumbles along acting like the name is on the top of his tongue. He never “remembers” the name and is so embarrassed because it outs him as not only an asshole but a stuck up asshole which is the exact opposite image he tried to put out to his audience.

I can't stand him. There's something about him that feels absolutely fake. His interview style is cringe worthy. Before COVID 19, he seem to almost sit on his guests laps and has an exaggerated way of speaking and interacting with them. He's exhausting and not funny.

He is a well balanced woke talk show host. His ego has grown commensurately with his waistline.

Corden in my mind has always been the talisman of mind bubble-gum, and comparing him to Ricky? Criminal.

Comparing cordon to Gervais is like comparing Paris Hilton to Meryl Streep as they've both been in movies.

From. the UK...I. cant understand Corden's success...a moderately talented actor at best...I saw his spat with Stewart live and was disgusted. Someone must like him though...

Imagine not liking someone for the characters they play that you judge someone for their weight. Imagine seeing an actor and not realising its a person playing a character.

I dont understand his appeal he always strikes me as a bully

The fact that so many people have no problem publically referring to his weight as a negative is why he had to make those fat shaming comments…for some reason heavy people are the only group who can be openly mocked and their attackers not held accountable for being heinous

Well, he gets the sense of entitlement from his parents. Look up when his Dad threw a hissy fit because film critic Mark Kermode gave "Peter Rabbit" a bad review.

My friend is his wife’s hairdresser From what I been told, he’s a real POS Disrespectful and rude Angry all the time

Liam Gallagher's not misnaming anything, he's making the accurate (and hilarious) observation that Corden looks like Perry (Kathy Burke) in Harry Enfield's Kevin and Perry sketches. Harry Enfield was massive in the UK in the 90s, very funny show. Liam's reference is spot on.

His “status” just elucidates the fact that there is no justice in life.

Hearing “knobhead” in an American accent is hilarious 😁

How the talentless James Cordon ever graduated from being a barrow boy on Eastenders is beyond me. Must have incredible management.

Not even in his wildest dreams have Corden and Gervais had parallel careers. As a Brit everyone I know is baffled by his popularity in America as he's best know for being the third funniest person on a sitcom over here. For Americans imagine thinking ' I wonder what Creed Bratton from the Office is up to these days?' doing a quick search and finding out he's a huge star in the UK.

It's not just loads of celebrities, it's a whole load of us in the UK.

Since when does Gervais interrupt anybody who speaks? He's so chill in interviews and speaks when asked a question

The funniest thing to me, as someone from the north of England, was hearing an American woman say "knobhead".

Hollywood: Please stop casting this man.

There have been many occasions on his show where he was simply rude, disrespectful, or insulting towards others (usually his crew) as though that sort of behavior is comedy. However, I have a ton of respect for comedians who try to push the boundaries because it can be a big risk every time. It's often going to be hit or miss, he's human just like the rest of us, and we all make mistakes. Overall, I get the impression he has good intentions and he makes me laugh more often than he makes me cringe. Plus, he comes up with a lot of hilariously awful puns, which I think takes a little bit of courage. I think James has a lot of comedic talent, but sometimes it's tossed aside for an attempt at a cheap laugh. I'll still give James the benefit of the doubt, but to act visibly bored as a presenter at an awards ceremony already demonstrates disrespect. If Patrick Stewart calls you out for disrespectful behavior, and you respond saying "...just f---ing get on with it," then you can boldly go where no one has ever f---ed themselves in the @$$ before. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;) Stewart, a man who most of us hold in the highest regards, went on to apologize for his comment. I'd love to see the same from Corden.

someone I know who worked on the show and said he was only nice to guests, not the crew

Its like when u meet someone in life and instinctively dont like them. U have no real reason why but its just there. Well thats how I feel about James cordon. Theres just something smug and off with him.

it is sad that Corden does seem to have a lot of evidence against him as I did enjoy the Karaoke bits BUT it is also very sad how a lot of these seemed to be pokes at his weight. Seems kind of beneath everyone involved. Like so many things, people do live down to expectations no matter who you think they are. We sometimes forget these folks are not the roles that they play i.e. Patrick Stewart. The industry is rife with ugly people (inside). it is always interesting that a business about entertaining the masses is so cruel, evil and hypocritical.

My only problem with him is that he's shoved in our faces so much despite there being nothing special or likeable about him. He was great on the sitcom Gavin and Stacey and that's about it.

Just like real life, some people like you and some don't.

There are people who are overweight, and it's just an arbitrary distinction. But then, there are people that you have to lift out of their apartment with a crane if they ever need to go to the doctor. THAT is shameful.

People in Britain can’t stand him. He did a livestream interview in the UK a while back where unmoderated questions were rolling on screen, 99% of them were things like ‘why are you such an arrogant c*nt?’. They abandoned the chat after a short while. Very funny.

I think u dont need to humiliate heavy people but the best thing for family & close friends to do is be honest with them. Coddling & lying to them is just enabling. I had a friend who had given herself type 2 diabetes bc she ate a lot of bad things. She would have cry & whine she was heavy & I really wish I had told her that she should stop whining & learn self control. She also had zero self awareness . I had gestational diabetes & so all my closest friends knew the strict diet I was on. Absolutely no carbohydrates & small portions. I was not going to eat anything that could hurt my unborn child. So at the shower my " treat " was a small dish of whole wheat pasta w/ chicken & veggies. So my heavy diabetic type 2 friend loaded up on two plates of everything stuffing her face. A huge plate of penne vodka, potatoes pancakes syrup & a coke. So she sits down & my friends are all sympathetic that at my own shower I couldnt eat anything on the menu this was a special request. So they are talking to me about my diet how I'm doing & ms self absorbed says " I'm a diabetic too. So after they all heard what I couldn't eat & then she starts whining how unfair it is she has diabetes everyone almost comically looked at the huge plates of food in front of her . Lol. It was total silence too. So that actually got her attention & she was like " oh yea um I couldn't resist bc my lazy mom never cooks anymore ( btw she was 30 why is her mom expected to cook for her when she gets to Live at home for free ??) She also begged me to let her be in my wedding party. She dropped out with a few weeks to go bc she did not want to forever be " fat " in my wedding pics. Can u imagine how self centered she thinks anyone who looks at my wedding pics which is not often after the wedding is in the distance & focus on her fat butt & not maybe the bride & groom & people they know. If I look at someome 's bridal party pics I never remember people in the wedding party in a photo I'm looking through. Good lord. Sadly 8 years later I'm sure she is the same.

Some people believe Trump and Brexit was the beginning of the slide........ I think it was when Craig Ferguson's old show was given to James Corden.

Well I think we’re gonna give America a gift basket of goodies for keeping Corden out of the UK. Mind you though James might eat the basket to himself. Sorry America 😂

I'm sure there are loads of people who can't stand him

Seems like he tried to deliver the super dry, and raunchy style of humor that Ricky Gervais does so magnificently, but completely missed the mark, with those Harvey Weinstein “jokes.” 🎯

Chris Farley was way funnier, almost choked to dead laughing in the movie Beverly Hills ninja

_"Hollyoaks is one of British television's most popular soap operas"_ I'm gonna have to stop you there... (Also, he didn't appear in "one episode", he was a regular cast member from 1998 to 2000)

My feeling about obesity is this, most severely obese people suffered some sort of trauma that got them where they are. People don’t enjoy being ridiculed and pointed out in public. If they could change their life for a healthier one, they would.

I genuinely cannot stand Cordon. As a Brit I am totally miffed at how he's managed to make it in America. I only ever watched one of his carpool programmes because it had Take That on there and I adore them but I just wanted Cordon to climb in the boot and he quiet. He's not funny, he's not talented so good luck America the ego is your problem now.

I never understood why people go on that carpool karaoke thing. It's vomit inducing.

It’s not just celebrities, he is the show biz equivalent of the ‘groom of the stole’ . He derails any decent movie with his cameos.

No conversation about people's opinion of James Corden is complete without a mention of Frankie Boyle

I can remember he was in a episode of Jonathan Ross Show with Boris Johnson. James Corden was the most hated guy in that episode xD

I wonder who advised Cordon to attend the WGA meeting? The Fallon writer made it pretty clear that this was a meeting for writers, not some open forum. I think it was less about money and more about control of his show. He seems very controlling.

America you can keep James Corden please!! We dont want him back thank you!!!

1:57 "and he peppered" I see what you did there lol and thank you America for taking him off our hands ;) appreciate it

i love the way he handeled Bill Maher

James Corden is about as funny as going into battle with blank rounds.

Realizing everything that Riz Ahmed said in that diss rap were just straight up facts.

Why am I surprised to again be disappointed by a celebrity that came up from the bottom and now wants to slight the ppl that got him there or are working hard for him. Been in the film industry don’t miss it. Most ungrateful and insane industry ever.

Is not just celebrities that can't stand the guy...

I just happened to stumble upon this video but it totally speaks to me - I never understood the appeal of James Corden and I'm completely puzzled by the amount of success he's had.

Please keep James Corden America 🙏

Not everyone likes him - but not everyone matters

He has a certain charm about him: - sort of : everyday guy next door, non threatening with lots of energy and is obviously talented to carry this off and make people feel comfortable in his presence however off screen he seems to be a fanny judging by the number of reports about his bad behaviour

Sometimes..TV networks need someone with no particular talent and only the ability to speak to fill a position. And here you have James Corden. 🙄

As Stewart Lee said when Corden got the Late Late Show gig, "Britain's loss is America's loss also.."

Ricky’s got talent.

"A fuking piglet" Rose McGowan nailed it

Damn, who knew Picard could be a savage?

I am oh so angry that it took so goddamn long for Harvey W to get called out. Not only are there so many more victims. He is an old man now and I don't think he can really be punished.

His arrogance and entitlement is what comes with fame but little talent 😐

Lmao that joke about hot water was actually funny. Much different than his fake over the top personality

OMG that R Gervais quote is killer. :-)
