I am an avid James Corden fan, there is not much he can't do. However reading the reviews and some of the other topics I'm getting the impression that the Americans aren't warming to him. Showing how stupid they really are.
shareI like him i think hes pretty good hes light years better then Seth Meyers.
shareDefinitely nay.The quality of late night TV has sunk to a new low with the departure of Ferguson and Letterman.

When's the last time you heard of a UK television show having an American host? Cue the crickets.
Joan Rivers had her own chat show for quite a long time in the UK and John Barrowman (Arrow & Desperate Housewives) is also a TV and radio presenter in the UK. We have also had two Australians that had chat shows (Clive James & Barry Humprhies).
sharelloyd grossman from boston did plenty of shows
shareIf there is one thing I can't stand on the internet as of 2015, it's when someone from the UK has to play the superiority card,

Thanks for saying that. And so true about Ky & NJ lol They actually are both beautiful states.
shareNo it isn't. Sorry to kill your fantasy. I have never read so much bollox. I hate you ;)
No seriously sometimes 'we' luv some 'banter', but don't on the whole hate others from other areas. A lot of Brits do however hate Corden, and despite the reaction on here he is probally liked more in the states. Of course he does have a hardcore following in the UK and most people that are indifferent like Gavin and Stacey even if they 'hate' him.

Honestly I think its pretty good.
Im afraid I just blue myself....
My Harry Itchy Anus, you are a valued Corden-shill!
I salute you sir!
An ugly American
tbh J.C. has always been a bland talentless unfunny *beep* but that's just me. I've never seen his show or do I ever plan to
shareThen your opinion is null and void. I'm open to all opinions but an uneducated one is worthless.
shareUninformed is a better word.
shareWasn't he in Into the Woods? Didn't get that casting either. He's very bland.
shareA BIG YEA! I'm American and I think James is great! Head and Shoulders above Craig Ferguson. James gives his all every night to give us a show that is fun and worth staying up for. When Craig Ferguson said he smelled a bit like biscuits (on LLS in March)Witty James said without missing a beat that his physical makeup is "90% biscuit, 5% bread, 5% cake." I think James is 100% delicious!
shareYou're effing kidding right? Head and Shoulders above Craig Ferguson? Which is why James Corden's show is rated a mere 6.6 whereas Craig Ferguson's show is rated 8.3 and Craig Ferguson is the only Talk Show host to ever win a peabody award for actually being a talk show host.
Watch a monologue of JC and then watch a monologue of CF and be honest with yourself about who is the natural and "Head and Shoulders" above whom.
It's like the kids today saying "Jimmy Fallon is the best talk show host to have ever lived" without even seeing Johnny Carson's shows or even knowing who he was.
Jack, I effing kid you not. If I remember correctly Craig received the Peabody for his interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in the spring of 2009...I think. That was a wonderful interview and Craig surely deserved the award. But after that Craig slowly stopped trying and he allowed the show with his name on it go down hill fast. His monologues, which used to be engaging glimpses into his life experiences, adventures and opinions just became vulgar recounts of what he read on the internet that day. Once in a while he made an effort to entertain (the puppets were fun). He long ago quit doing skits like 'Murder, She Wrote'. Once he received his citizenship and married in 2008 it seemed he became bored and lost interest. Over time the show became gimmicky...hence the robot. It was a real shame the way he ran that show down his last 5 years. He just didn't want to be there anymore. He replaced wit with vulgarity, which we all know is no substitute for wit. He lost his charm with his guests and his interviews became boring even painful to watch. I don't miss him in the least. James Corden, on the other hand is a seasoned performer. A Tony award winner. He puts a lot of effort into whatever he does. Sometimes the material is weak but I'm sure he will only improve with time. James is fun to watch.
Frankly, late-night "talk shows" have developed a stupid game show mentality. I like Jimmy Kimmel's show but I truly can't wait for Stephen Colbert. Stephen will kick the arses of ALL the others and James will have a better lead in. Ratings are relative. Some people just don't know the difference between quality and crap.
Stay tuned. :)

This post made you look absolutely dumb.
I don't dislike Craig Ferguson. I watched his show for 9 years. I saw the interview with Tutu the night it aired. As a talk show host Ferguson peaked that night. I saw him with Colbert the other night. Aging badly and couldn't manage to get through his appearance without vulgarity. As for Corden, his talents are wasted on late-night TV.

Your crush on Craig distorts your judgment and opinions.
