Sadly Over-hyped
Instant Favorite.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreI have no idea why a reviewer said this guy is funny for? That person must be getting paid for the review, there is no other explanation! James' comedy scenes make me cringe with embarrassment for him, I hope he knows he is being recorded and it will be out there forever. I didn't mind Craig Ferguson although his comedy was getting rather repetitive like with the robot but he could be funny whilst interviewing guests, this new fella isn't funny, ever! He should of stayed in England and kept his dignity instead of (badly) doing a trashy American talk show.
View MoreThe humor here is excellent, and Corden is definitely the reason. Born James Kimberley Corden 22 August 1978 (age 37) Hillingdon, London, England, UK which is westernmost London and grew up in Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire, England according to an internet biography, the best way to watch this show is on DVR unless your a night owl. James is a wild sort of late night host.He has a sense of humor that goes from British to Infinity. He sings terrible but has developed something called Carport Karoke where he gets to display that talent with popular singers in a motor car. The best singer in his show is Reggie Watts, who leads one of the hippest bands on TV. Reggie can really sing and a whole lot more and helps Corden a lot. I have a crush on the woman playing guitar on Reggie Watts left shoulder. What I have found in watching some of this show is they will do some wild humorous stuff, and a lot of bleeping punch lines. One night James is in the audience and some old lady behind him wants to stroke his butt. Of course he tells her to go ahead and have at it. On the 100th show they went on the streets looking for someones house they can host the show from. If this were anyplace but Hollywood, that would be very dangerous, but they picked a pretty good neighborhood and only got turned down at about 6 houses.I know folks are mad that this young guy replaced another popular host who is now on the History Channel. The fact is there is a new guy on late late, he is produced by Letterman's Worldwide Pants company, and he appears to have big enough britches to do it. Reggie Watts is the best guy to come along in a long time to work with Corden and I laugh at what I am seeing (except the Lady with the Guitar, I want some of that).
View MoreThe poor reviews of this show must be from folks who watched one segment and made up their mind or have never even watched the show. James Corden is arguably the most talented man in late night and if you watched his show regularly, you would easily agree. So what if he's British. His carpool karaoke segments are frequently hilarious. The comedy segments are smart, well written and just plain funny. The skits he convinces the celebrities to take part in are just classic. His duet with Alanis Morissette with updated lyrics to "Ironic" was a great example. So entertaining and so funny. Same thing with Ellie Goulding, a duet with 8 different musical styles of her song "Love Me Like You Do" in 4 minutes. Lots of fun. Subscribe to his YouTube Channel and give him a chance before you prematurely write him off. He's a true talent and I love his show. In fact, I think he puts the other mainstream cookie cutter late night hosts to shame.
View MoreAs another person has stated here, a lot of these poor reviews were written not long after the shows debut. It is unfair to judge the show early as every program has teething problems in the beginning, imagine judging Seinfeld on its pilot. After over six months on air the show and James have really come into their own, he isn't Craig Ferguson and he doesn't want to be. James Corden's fast wit, gentle humour and unique style breathe a fresh air into the stale, formulaic landscape of late night television. With extremely popular segments like Carpool Karaoke and Role Call which have been a hit online as well as on air James is starting to build a large fan base and with good reason. At 12:30 in the morning it's a relief to be able to forget about whatever dead end job you are stuck in or whatever terrible story you saw on the news and enjoy an extremely talented presenter and performer doing what he enjoys, making you forget about life for a while and maybe going to sleep with a smile on your face.
