ha Tommy directed Ella Enchanted http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0641373/ Jeff Goldblum there with the puzzled look on his face, why do you think im ladies man James.

Funny that james didn't ask then. Of course anybody can call themselves a film maker and have something on you tube but this guy was living in -- and probably owned -- a big house.

I'm a fan of Frozen so I really enjoyed this!

Mars Bar · 14-04-2015 5:33pm

Corden is not bad himself is he?!

miralize · 14-04-2015 5:41pm

Hes doing really well. I think marginally better than Fallon when he started.

Never liked Corden, and while the skits are well written and funny, don't think I'll ever take to him as a host to be honest. I genuinely don't find his type of comedy shtick funny. I'm sure he'll do well being the Brit as a different choice than the other hosts on TV there, but Ferguson will be really missed.

I wasn't a fan of Corden either and I do miss Craig. James is no Craig and what I like is that he is most definitely not trying to be Craig! There's a more Jimmy Fallon like feel to this show.

Wasn't there a bigger objection to Fallon taking over as i heard all the objectors came on his 1st nite with $1 afaik Bono was there?

I only tune into Fallon if someone interesting is on as its on the CNBC ch nightly.
I see Conan's show got moved to 1am from 11pm on Trutv, David o Doherty was on it last nite, but too late for me.

I remember Letterman used to be on Sky1@midnite one time, i don't know what year, but i remember he did his show in London for 1 week & on the last night had Harry Ramsden's chipshop & fed the whole audience that night!

Are they not talk shows anymore? They all seem to be presenters doing dull sketches and playing boring games. Fallon especially is guilty of the last one.

expectationlost · 20-04-2015 10:16pm

A Conan writer went on a rant basically saying that Jimmy Fallon sucks http://www.avclub.com/article/conan-writer-went-rant-basically-saying-jimmy-fall-218241

don't know what the guy expects, late night talks arn't really where its at comedy wise, don think they ever were, its is about celebrities and selling ads, people always talking about daring Letterman was when he started but I never saw it at the time so I can't get that.

interesting that one of Conan's late night writers left to join Colbert's new show.

his 2 cookiest long time writers writers have left

Zaph · 20-04-2015 10:18pm

Conan writer claims that other late night shows aren't funny. Who said Americans don't do irony?

That video is only for the youtube community.

You're seeing these shows copying the format of youtubers now.

I recently saw the Simon Cowell ep, Simon was ever the judge with his replies!
Corden asked Simon would he make it in his boyband, Simon replied NO!
Cowell had said he'd done good to get a No1 with Becks, but was terrible to work with :eek:

Corden's quick reply, "I gave my money to charity, you pocketed yours"

I think talk is over. No one is ever going to have a spontaneous moment on tv ever again. Everyone is far too conscious that nothing is ephemeral anymore and any gaffe will live forever on youtube. They're just there to sell a show or represent a brand or agenda and prepped to the hilt by agents. I hate those games etc but they probably beat watching the same stiff celebs coming on several different shows all selling the same blurb to every show.

Yeah it's clearly rehearsed but still brilliant

Billy86 · 27-05-2016 5:28pm

For anyone missing 'proper talk' on talks how's, go download The Nerdist and Marc Marron podcasts. They're both absolutely excellent and a million miles beyond anything seen in talk shows, either now or previously.

Tom Hanks and (randomly) both wwe wrestler Chris Jericho and Rose McGowan were some of the most fascinating conversations I've ever heard in that kind of medium.

Wonder what the real reason for this is. Considering its common knowledge that Corden is a cnunt of the highest order Im guessing Ellen type negative revelations on the horizon.

I hope he goes back to the UK to never be heard of again

sam t smith · 29-04-2022 10:53am

Would he he getting another year out of it if he was leaving due to ‘revelations’ though?

Pintman Paddy Losty · 29-04-2022 3:15pm

I'd say Ryan Tubridy would be a possible candidate to replace him. He might well take the job if offered as well now that his kids are a bit older and he could travel to the States. Would be a big loss for RTE but I don't think anyone would begrudge him.
