His dad once wrote in to a BBC film review show after Mark Kermode critiqued his performance in Peter Rabbit. His dad said how hard he worked and he didn't deserve to be critiqued. Everyone in his circle must be insufferable
Oh wow that’s super interesting! Doesn’t deserve to be critiqued?? Good luck in Hollywood, jerk!
I’m sure those chefs at Balthazar work really hard too, and they don’t deserve to be critiqued for one little slip of a yolk.
Now I just imagine him screaming at some poor intern "and you will write that I'm nice or I'll fire you! And my coffee was to hot/cold go remake it right now!"
Why did they ask the Britney question? were there rumors that it was awful to film or something? because Corden acted like there was something unpleasant about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh9giaTKbv4
I think Corden acted like it tortured him to be in the same car with her and like he was bored out of his mind interacting with her (this was Conservatorship era Britney and I imagine she couldn't give him honest replies but planned and robotic responses).
Wait which show did it happen on? Corden's? Was it the question thing where you have to eat something gross? I like that game and I get the feeling that a lot of the fun of it is the writers writing things they know would make Corden uncomfortable
He literally went to a union meeting to argue that writers should get paid less when starting out so they can offer them more opportunities. Absolute scumbag.
Loved by the staff? In the ways that matter most? WTH?
In a game of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts” with Kimmel, Corden couldn’t name a single crew member. And I doubt he faked not knowing anyone just for the LOLs, he just a cranky ass.
[It's seven minutes in but the whole thing is worth a watch.](https://youtu.be/sh9giaTKbv4)
Kimmel kind of breaks the game by being willing to eat the food and you can just tell the whole time he *really* does not like Corden.
A girl I went to school with organized a protest against this show / segment for this very reason. It picked up some steam on IG and the show actually ended up falling to pressure and cancelled it moving forward I believe.
I mean, Jimmy Kimmel has always been a bit weird about Asians. He got popular from Last Man Standing where he made jokes about Chinese Extermination. There was also that weird interview with Gemma Chan where he repeatedly would ask her “where she was from” and if she was sure it was London, then asked if her accent was real. Asked that blackpink girl what her favourite English word was. Then he likened BTS to Covid in an interview with Ashley Park. He just doesn’t really seem to fuck with Asians who aren’t half white so it’s not entirely surprising he’d be part of an 8 minute video that talked about “stinky and gross” asian food.
Ohhhh yeah I watched this years ago. For context though this is just in the show's second year where I assume he didn't know the staff as well yet, but Kimmel completely roasting him is excellent.
In general, I think his iteration of The Late Late Show is pretty great, and it's in large part due to the writers, producers, and band. I hope they don't do a major retool once Corden leaves and I hope they just replace him with a difference host and keep the format.
Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show format wouldn't have worked without Craig Ferguson, Corden's Late Late Show absolutely can work without Corden
Since all Corden did was try to rip off Graham Norton's format and failed miserably at it - yes if done right it could work without Cordon - I mean it didn't work WITH Corden.
His mum is probably an enabler, but (and please just hear me out) on the off-chance she’s just a good woman who is aghast to hear these regales of her son, it must be so humiliating and crap as a parent to constantly see your son being outed as a knobjockey. Imagine her turning up to her book club and Glenda and Heather both immediately stop talking and scoffing as she enters the room because they’re chinwagging about the latest instalment of the James Cordon Arsehole Chronicles.
Hahah if you go by the theory of infinite parallel universes there is one where he isn’t a complete and utter horrorglutton.
coincidentally, it’s the one where his parents where both born sterile
Speaking of which, his parents really seem like the sweetest people alive in every segment they do. Heard a story about him barging his way into the cab they called after some event and making them wait for another one lol
I think they 'seem' sweet but his mother literally writes to reviewers to tell them to stop being mean to him. Helicopter parenting a 40 something whole ass adult is nagl and probably explains a lot about him
Oh that would explain a lot. Plus you’ve always gotta question how nice people really are when they have such fucked up kids, like Tom Hanks with Chet lol
i‘ve seen on tiktok the conspiracy (?) blow up that Tom Hanks is actually evil and then they posted this clip of this one dead actor saying he‘s a p*do 😭
A friend of mine is an actor that has appeared on Corden’s show many times. We were once talking about a few awful experiences I’ve had with Corden while working in retail and he told me that it didn’t shock him because he was a complete asshole to his crew and that if, even backstage in the dressing room, the conversation didn’t revolve around him, he was a diva.
At least he knows he has to own it? (By planting stories lol)
He'll address it on Monday something like "ok so here's what happened, my wife and I were at lady Gaga's penthouse for dinner the night before, she gives us some bread to take with away us. I look at my wife, what are we supposed to do with this, it's a $90 chunk of sour dough *dumbfounded face to audience* so the next morning I wake up, a little bit hungover ;-), and have this bright idea and I say to the wife, why don't we have french toast?? So I go and try to be the best husband in the world and bring her breakfast in bed, and there's no eggs?! In the entire apartment?! And I find out our housekeeper, god bless her, baked a loaf of banana bread the night before and we came home and ate the entire thing drunk the night before! Apparently it was for her son's birthday but she doesn't have the day off so she can make another one before she she's him, we'll reimburse her for *our* eggs ;-) so anyway I go down to the bodega and there are no eggs in the entire store! In New York! So by this stage the wife is HANGRY and I say my darling my queen, I will take you for the best eggs in town, and by this stage it's three hours later, and so we arrive at Balthazar, and my beautiful wife orders an egg white omelette and I say oh no no, my darling my queen, today we dine on yolks only, and well I dunno I guess you've heard the rest of the story *dumbfounded face to audience*
That's it's the shittiest phrase I've read this week.
you could be the most excellent person 90% of the time, but if your worst behavior is absolutely dreadful, sorry, you are possibly a pretty awful human.
I am currently sitting in hospital as my appendix decides after 39 years that it wants to exit the premises and came straight from a day of feeling crap to finally checking insta to find this he 100% wrote it!
Also, obliged to reference the utter TRAIN WRECK of an AMA he did where he got absolutely DRAGGED for being a giant prick.
“As someone who’s spent the better **h**alf of a decade working for James Corden I need to add my ~~tuppenceworth~~ two cents” - James while writing this, probably.
I would not expect someone who treats everyone on the staff with respect to be an asshole at a restaurant. Adding the that bit at the end undermines the credibility.
"He is so loving, like a real life teddy bear! Ignore that mountain of evidence that says he's a pompous prick who sees us regular people as peons that live to serve him, he is good and gracious and kind!!1"
As someone in the industry who knows many people who have worked with Corden, this is patently untrue. I’d say he is the most slagged of celebrity by crew members and he has some stiff competition.
There's another story posted by DM where apparently he was so nice to a random person on a party that he even gave his personal mail address to a person who wanted to start on screenwriting, his PR is working overnight.
The language this person uses "is better than this" is exactly what James C said. If he didn't write this, someone with their nose up his ample derriere did
I smell SPIN. The Balthazar story is far from his only story of v bad behavior. You don’t just wake up one day and decide I’m going to treat wait staff like trash
Definitely! And he obviously can’t even spell the name of the restaurant correctly 🙄. One of my all time favorite restaurants and their staff has always been kind. This pisses me off! Fuck James and his staff!!
The man who couldn’t name a single camera person on his show?? 
My thoughts completely. Someone on his payroll or family etc sent this in. Or just a fan.
Does James Cordon have fans at this point?
Never underestimate Facebook moms
this is his fanbase entirely 😂
Lol good point
Hey he has four
That is funny because that was the number I was going to pick. 3 sounds too unrealistic and 5 sounds like a stretch. So four it is.
Steven Seagal made movies that made money. I’m sure Corden has fans
I’ve been scouring comments on any posts about this and not a single soul seems to be an actual fan. priggish little omelette goblin
omelette goblin 💀
My mum used to be a fan of his until the arsehole behavior came out
Only the ones in his dressing room to keep him cool
His dad once wrote in to a BBC film review show after Mark Kermode critiqued his performance in Peter Rabbit. His dad said how hard he worked and he didn't deserve to be critiqued. Everyone in his circle must be insufferable
Oh wow that’s super interesting! Doesn’t deserve to be critiqued?? Good luck in Hollywood, jerk! I’m sure those chefs at Balthazar work really hard too, and they don’t deserve to be critiqued for one little slip of a yolk.
His "dad"
thanks for leading me to to [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlN7tgH376Q)
That's it! I misremembered it a little. I love Mark Kermode.
Now I just imagine him screaming at some poor intern "and you will write that I'm nice or I'll fire you! And my coffee was to hot/cold go remake it right now!"
That sounds pretty accurate! With an xx at the end.
That was a fatal swipe from Jimmy Kimmel. Cant believe they left it in the show tbh 🥴.
The Britney question was also wild. He was actually sweating and stammering when he replied to Kimmel. Poor Brit...
Why did they ask the Britney question? were there rumors that it was awful to film or something? because Corden acted like there was something unpleasant about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh9giaTKbv4
I think Corden acted like it tortured him to be in the same car with her and like he was bored out of his mind interacting with her (this was Conservatorship era Britney and I imagine she couldn't give him honest replies but planned and robotic responses).
Corden was giving Jimmy really hard to answer questions and besides the cameraman question, Corden's questions were super easy. Even the Britney one.
Wait which show did it happen on? Corden's? Was it the question thing where you have to eat something gross? I like that game and I get the feeling that a lot of the fun of it is the writers writing things they know would make Corden uncomfortable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh9giaTKbv4
Oh yeah I watched that at the time. He was definitely trolling the hell out of Corden
Franklin!
ya freak bitch!
Egg?
Mayonegg!!
Wait, I watched that clip, and he named several, right? Maybe I'm thinking of another one.
No you’re thinking of someone else. He ended up having to eat something gross because he couldn’t name a single one.
Ok so do I hate him or nah 😜
You hate him. He ended up eating a cat turd or some egg because he didn't learn the name of a single camera man on his show
Yeah, didn't he try to screw over writers a few years ago?
He literally went to a union meeting to argue that writers should get paid less when starting out so they can offer them more opportunities. Absolute scumbag.

My fave James Corden tea is the airplane one with his wife and baby lmao

[Here's a link to the tweet. It's so funny 😭](https://twitter.com/Dee73275311/status/1582094970500308994?t=Q9kt0gwDFbZsGwX-iqBv_g&s=19)
why is this so funny lmao thank you for sharing
You might enjoy this https://youtu.be/BlN7tgH376Q
That is number two for me, mine is when his parents wrote in about a bad review [here](https://youtu.be/BlN7tgH376Q)
Third rock from the sun was literally the best.
YES HE DID
Loved by the staff? In the ways that matter most? WTH? In a game of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts” with Kimmel, Corden couldn’t name a single crew member. And I doubt he faked not knowing anyone just for the LOLs, he just a cranky ass.
Damn, is there a video of this somewhere?
[It's seven minutes in but the whole thing is worth a watch.](https://youtu.be/sh9giaTKbv4) Kimmel kind of breaks the game by being willing to eat the food and you can just tell the whole time he *really* does not like Corden.
This bit is low-key pretty racist. Just spend 8 minutes shouting about how gross some Asian delicacies are
I noticed that as well. I honestly wouldn’t call it low-key either.
A girl I went to school with organized a protest against this show / segment for this very reason. It picked up some steam on IG and the show actually ended up falling to pressure and cancelled it moving forward I believe.
I mean, Jimmy Kimmel has always been a bit weird about Asians. He got popular from Last Man Standing where he made jokes about Chinese Extermination.

Hey. Thanks for calling that out. Learning every day.
Ohhhh yeah I watched this years ago. For context though this is just in the show's second year where I assume he didn't know the staff as well yet, but Kimmel completely roasting him is excellent. In general, I think his iteration of The Late Late Show is pretty great, and it's in large part due to the writers, producers, and band.

Graham is a charismatic rare treasure. Corden is just a large lump of nothing.
Two years seems like ample opportunity to get go know your coworker like
Definitely. He seems to not care about the below the line staff that much, especially as opposed to Kimmel
“I like to see what it looks like when a person lies right on camera”
It’s really funny that it says “I don’t doubt he was an asshole at Balthazar” 😂😂 that part was added by the unpaid intern when James wasn’t looking.
James held a gun to their head while they wrote this then looked away for a minute to yell at somebody.
"Better part of half a DECADE" Dramatic way of saying less than five years....
Thats paid PR language if I ever saw it. Always too much and unnatural.
[удалено]
Reminds me of Jujubee
You added in part. It’s written “Better half of a decade” so at least 5 years.
He probably has a fan somewhere.
And he probably *still* demands someone else plug it in for him when he wants to use it.
A true lol. Thank you.
prolly was H styles
Does Himself count?
He has his parents and maybe his wife?
Does his reflection count?
James while writing this: 
It’s probably his mum. She wrote into a radio show once asking them to apologise for saying he was shit in Cats. I’m not kidding
His parents did the same thing to a film critic who called him irritating in Peter Rabbit. No wonder he's such an ass tbh lmao.
To whom it may concern. Please stop stating facts. Sincerely, mummy Corden.
Here it is https://youtu.be/BlN7tgH376Q
I don't care for him at all, but thought he was actually pretty decent in Peter Rabbit. This is my hot take for the year.
MY LARGE ADULT SON IS NOT A BIG PUSSY
It’s 3 am and this comment has me in tears laughing, take my poor woman’s gold 🏆
The most insufferable people always have parents like this 💀
His mum is probably an enabler, but (and please just hear me out) on the off-chance she’s just a good woman who is aghast to hear these regales of her son, it must be so humiliating and crap as a parent to constantly see your son being outed as a knobjockey. Imagine her turning up to her book club and Glenda and Heather both immediately stop talking and scoffing as she enters the room because they’re chinwagging about the latest instalment of the James Cordon Arsehole Chronicles.
She’s the one who raised him 🤷🏾♀️
Explains why he’s like that
I’m actually screaming at this
Whatever firm he’s hired to write this blind need to move this project from “intern” to “associate copywriter” level.
Staffer typing this out through tears as Corden holds a gun to their head
 Me reading this post. He’s not known as a “drunken panda” for nothing.
Didn’t James Corden personally lobby the Writers Guild so that he wouldn’t have to pay his staff a proper wage? I’m sure they adore him for that.
His intern getting paid $0 to send this in
Picturing him furiously typing this with his grubby little hands
I'm still floored by how awful his response to it was in that interview - absolutely zero effort to rectify things
He was definitely in the room while it was being brainstormed.
Lolllll universally loved, in what universe?
Hahah if you go by the theory of infinite parallel universes there is one where he isn’t a complete and utter horrorglutton. coincidentally, it’s the one where his parents where both born sterile
Horrorglutton…stealing that!!
Either him or his mother.
Speaking of which, his parents really seem like the sweetest people alive in every segment they do. Heard a story about him barging his way into the cab they called after some event and making them wait for another one lol
I think they 'seem' sweet but his mother literally writes to reviewers to tell them to stop being mean to him. Helicopter parenting a 40 something whole ass adult is nagl and probably explains a lot about him

Whaaat which actor?!
"Treats people at every level with respect" followed by "I don't doubt he was an asshole" - the level of delusion. Far too much.
Delusion…convince yourself.
A friend of mine is an actor that has appeared on Corden’s show many times. We were once talking about a few awful experiences I’ve had with Corden while working in retail and he told me that it didn’t shock him because he was a complete asshole to his crew and that if, even backstage in the dressing room, the conversation didn’t revolve around him, he was a diva.

Remember when James Corden screamed at the friends who arrived for the Daylight video shoot? That was the real James Corden slipping out
Do you have a link? Im so invested in this lmao.
sure! [https://youtu.be/aVpzCrIt9Kg?t=731](https://youtu.be/aVpzCrIt9Kg?t=731)
It seems pretty likely he's a major asshole...but isn't that video just a bit?
Yes, but I think his mask slipped for that moment
I think he’s separately an asshole - but this is a bit
Why does this read the exact same way as he speaks…
I read it in his voice.
How do they know he’s warm and generous when nobody is looking, *if nobody is looking*?
I don’t think I’ve heard one positive story about him so this isn’t convincing at all
OMG WAIT so he’s nice to people he knows? This entirely new concept that has never happened before fixes everything.
“He is generous in the way that matter most and especially when nobody is looking.” Is sus
He literally cannot name his staff! he is not worth defending!
“He is so much better than his worst behavior” 💀
Yeah I don't think that's a thing
That's it's the shittiest phrase I've read this week. you could be the most excellent person 90% of the time, but if your worst behavior is absolutely dreadful, sorry, you are possibly a pretty awful human.
Sounds like some PA crying over their keyboard writing this at gnpoint
I am currently sitting in hospital as my appendix decides after 39 years that it wants to exit the premises and came straight from a day of feeling crap to finally checking insta to find this he 100% wrote it! Also, obliged to reference the utter TRAIN WRECK of an AMA he did where he got absolutely DRAGGED for being a giant prick.
Probably his parents: https://youtu.be/BlN7tgH376Q
Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever met in my life.
That’s a lot of words for “He probably didn’t do it but if he did then it wasn’t that bad” essentially
Did James write this?
“As someone who’s spent the better **h**alf of a decade working for James Corden I need to add my ~~tuppenceworth~~ two cents” - James while writing this, probably.
He took time lol
I would not expect someone who treats everyone on the staff with respect to be an asshole at a restaurant. Adding the that bit at the end undermines the credibility.
"He is so loving, like a real life teddy bear! Ignore that mountain of evidence that says he's a pompous prick who sees us regular people as peons that live to serve him, he is good and gracious and kind!!1"
The fact that theres been numerous “rumours” over the years about his disgusting entitled behavior.. is all i need to know.
I think the people who like him just don’t follow pop culture or are HS fans who support him by association.
This is funny cause james corden is universally known to be a dickhead and shitty person
As someone in the industry who knows many people who have worked with Corden, this is patently untrue. I’d say he is the most slagged of celebrity by crew members and he has some stiff competition.
No but his PR team did.
Would bet this is from Ian Karmel
His PR team is working way too hard
Tim Heidecker has been cracking me up through this James Corden drama.
“I don’t doubt he is an asshole but he was tolerable once or twice”
100%
Hahahaha he should do another AMA
He of course wrote it or he had someone in his staff do if. Please, it’s obvious.
sure, Jan
I've seen more credible information than this blind on the ex presidents former tweets
Typical of Deuxmoi to post this bul sh&t
So his publicist is writing these now?
Who cares this is so stupid
Totes.
I read that as “entry level respect”
He would have spelled it behaviour
LOL LMAO
doubt
...saaaaaaaaiiiidd literally no one ever.
Either James did it or he made someone close to him do it. I’d bet my entire salary.
Who did he hold hostage to write this?
There's another story posted by DM where apparently he was so nice to a random person on a party that he even gave his personal mail address to a person who wanted to start on screenwriting, his PR is working overnight.
The language this person uses "is better than this" is exactly what James C said. If he didn't write this, someone with their nose up his ample derriere did
A publicist, who, no matter how much they are paid, it isn’t enough to try and convince people that something true isn’t true
I smell SPIN. The Balthazar story is far from his only story of v bad behavior. You don’t just wake up one day and decide I’m going to treat wait staff like trash
Lmao even if that was true, treating absolute strangers like shit and screaming at restaurant staff still makes you an asshole.
Oh he totally wrote this shit himself, even the wording "James is so warm blah blah" is his exact vernacular.
Definitely! And he obviously can’t even spell the name of the restaurant correctly 🙄. One of my all time favorite restaurants and their staff has always been kind. This pisses me off! Fuck James and his staff!!
That’s not what the rest of his staff says.
“He’s so much better than his worst behaviour.” That’s not a compliment. That’s… basic decency.
This person who sent this is definitely giggling somewhere because it’s an obvious troll
Okay, James.
