It's hard to be less funny than James Corden, but Stewart succeeded.

If it's staged, it was awful.

If it was real, it was awful.

James Cordon is a knob of the highest order.

It wasn't staged and f*ck knows what Patrick Stewart was thinking tbh.

amacachi

Wow.

Duggy747

Come on, we knew this picture was coming :pac:

FearDark

To me. Unheard of until a few months ago and now I find him on every second show on telly. He is an unfunny twát. And that clip, I doubt was staged by the way just proves what a tool he is. Patrick Stewart shouldn't be entertaining this muppet.

Jesus that was terrible

One of both of them were drunk/stoned/in the middle of a stroke.

For a so-called comedian, Corden doesn't seem to have a sense of humour in that clip. Stewart was probably a bit drunk but he's also a notorious joker. Even if what he said was below the belt (literally), a decent host would have laughed it off and made a better joke (that was actually funny) in response. Instead Corden starts getting aggressive toward an old man. It's embarrassing for Stewart, but Corden comes across as thug.

I don't know about you, but my belly is above my belt.

That was horrible to watch.

Don't think that was staged, Corden seemed to take it a bit too seriously. I'm sure next wee's Heat magazine will give us an inside scoop as to what really went on.:rolleyes:

That WAS crap and James Corden is a strange one for me I think Gavin and Stacy is useless but I have seen him on a couple of talk shows/game shows and he is hilarious himself... I can't decide whether he is good or not :mad:

I'm the opposite. Gavin & Stacey is genius. James Cordon is just crap. If it's not scripted, he's just so unfunny.

Mini Driver

different strokes I suppose ha ha. At least we all agree that this clip was pooh poooooh :eek:

But he wrote the programme, so does that make him crap genius or genius crap?

I think he is personally a good comedian, gavin and stacey is hilarious and so is a league of their own.

I bet it's alot of the oldies who like star trek that don't like cordon :P

Stewart says "belly" funnily.

I don't think so, look at the body language of them when zaldana is at the podium, looks like stewart was trying to explain himself, and cordon was saying he didn't wanna hear it...

And christ if it was staged, I think they would have given stewart a better comeback than "you better hide your belly" or whatever it was...

Look at them both from 1:35 look at Picard at 1:50.

messrs

dont tink it was staged - james corden seems to be geninuly taken back by what patrick was saying

DOC09UNAM

Yeah I don't think it was staged, I reckon he said some shít like "oh they all like my belly too *gestures to audience*, then stewart tries to say it was a joke and cordon brushes him off...

Zombienosh

I think stewart had a few drinks.

Agricola

Yeah, i always think bs like this is staged but if that was the case the pisstakes and snide remarks would have been of a much higher quality. Theres nothing funny in it. Maybe its a double bluff and they're purposely making it unfunny so as to make it believable.

Either way, its shít!

At the end of the day Patrick Stewart is still a legend and the other guy is still a fat twat.

abouttobebanned

I really don't know what people have to do to get any kind of recognition on this fcuking website. Corden has wrote a quality show in gavin and stacey, he's funny as fcuk on A league of their own...He dealt with Patrick Wilson being an absolute idiot, pretty well up there...and still, people hate him.

Honestly, everyone of you are fcuking idiots. You hate absolutely everything, and love the stupidest of things.

Patrick... Wilson...?

I'm going to get banned aren't i. The irony of it.

Yep!

Personal abuse is a good way to go about it.

Stewart, your punchline was not funny......... make it so.

Jean Luc should have disengaged from the wine.

The Big Red Button

I love Gavin and Stacey, and I love James Corden! He might have handled the situation a wee bit better, but the things that Patrick Stewart were saying to him were just downright rude and inappropriate, he completely embarrassed himself. Presumably Corden is aware that he is overweight, and I'm sure that he gets plenty of stick about it, but you sure as hell wouldn't see it coming from a fellow so-called "professional" when you're hosting an awards show like that. So I don't blame him for getting a little bit "aggressive" (as another poster said, although I think it's a bit of a strong word) - he was right not to just stand there and accept the insults. Patrick Stewart made himself look like an absolute tool - if I'd had any respect for him to begin with, I'd have lost it after that!

Thats all well and good but as much as i have nothing but respect(even still) for Patrick Stewart its a completely different story if he was personally insulting me on stage. I would imagine i would laugh it off but i might not, you just never know.

Stewart is pished!

Listen to him speak ... it's not his normal rhythm / tone at all ... he sounds like a ham actor declaiming Shakespeare, and Stewart is (a) no ham actor (b) a consummate Shakespearean actor in particular.

He's pished, he's professional enough to use years of experience controlling his voice to cover it up in that sense, but when it comes to witty repartee, he fails.

WindSock

I don't know who this Cordon guy is, but he is coming across as a knob anyway. Stewart isn't doing himself any favours, but he has enough of a good reputation for this to not stick to him. This Cordon chap seems like a bully boy who can't take a bit of silliness from an old fool.

Yeah he seems to be a rare breed alright. A comic actor who cant take abit of (bad) piss taking about his weight. You'd think he wouldnt be so sensitive at this stage!

.SONIC.

Have been watching James Corden's World Cup show and its pretty much pants so far

Trashbat

Trekkies worldwide will boycott James Corden overnight

In fairness, Stewart shouldn't have turned up drunk, and shouldnt have though taking the piss in an unfunny way way acceptable.

Corden had two options, Come back with something very witty and off the cuff that brushed the whole thing off, or do what he did. Neither option puts him in the wrong, and seeing as he's a comedy writer and actor, rather than a stand up, he might not have as much ability to deal with situations like that.

Patrick Stewart has been in the game long enough to know better. He seemed like a bitter old man, pissed off that Corden is becoming overexposed at the moment.

James Cordon is an unfunny tosser.

My take..

Have you ever seen a photo of someone and knew you would dislike them?

First heard of James Corden last year in London. He regularly featured in "London Lite" in the celebrity gossip sections seemingly living off the "Gavin and Stacey" hype, falling out of night clubs. Note: I have never watched this show.

I just thought he looked like a tool. Your clip merely confirms my suspicions.

Patrick Stewart on the otherhand is an actor with a legendary pedigree. Saw him in MacBeth and he's fantastic. Who hasn't done/said stupid things when a bit tipsy?

As a shakesperean/stage actor he understands the importance of body language. He was pointing out that Corden's body language suggested he was disinterested in proceedings and ought to change that for future "gigs". IMO he was just there to make hay while his sun shined.

I think the bigger question here is WTF Stewart was doing at the Glamour awards in the first place :pac:

What does it matter about his acting pedigree, that has nothing to do with it.

And why does stewart get backed up by "oh we've all done stupid stuff when drinking" and corden doesn't, he just gets called a tool.


Most people are biased before they even watch the video, and seem to backup stewart, even though he was wrong, and correcting him at the wrong time.

As I said, that's my take........

Is there some sort of annual competition in the UK to be "King Chav"? Previous monachs include Pete Doherty and Russell Brand and clearly Corden is laying his stake for the title.

Pants? Please don't use that word in that context.
