Terrible host.
Analog_Devotee7 August 2021
This man is seriously insufferable. Who is he and what credentials did he have to warrant this spot?

True Colors
abolton722 September 2021
Used to be a fan, until I was referred to as a 15 yr old girl the day I turend 40. Just a few years off there James. Am I really going to quit watching a show I enjoyed because of a monologue? Yes. Because my respect for myself and BTS far outweighs my respect for you.

I'm disappointed
ihssanelkasimi-2350822 September 2021
The host sucks, biggest despointemet as an army, though I could trust him with the boys but he turns out just like the others, mocking 15 years old teenagers that are passionate about something and using it against BTS, jimin will be so disappointed.

I can't stand him
cordenw13 September 2017
Truly a mistake in the cosmos of things. How did this talentless porker get so far in a business that chews 'em up like dog bones? I've tried to give him a chance but honestly it's like watching one of those rap videos or watching Beyonce put together one of those aimless, pointless dance routines... ten seconds is too much by far. And so it is with watching this bingo caller at the Saturday Night Legion session, five seconds is too much in his case. Those who stay up late must be pretty desperate for entertainment if they watch this visual porridge, but the ratings calculators say there are plenty of them so what do I know? I'll tell you what I DO know , it's just sawdust to fill in the gaps between ads, pure organic "no sweetener added" crap. Which means he'll probably last for quite a bit longer. Not in my house though , karaoke has been banned since it first ever came out!

CBS, why?
mollyscot_uk28 March 2015
I find it frustrating and quite sad that CBS had the chance to follow on from Craig with another unique, intelligent and unpredictable host yet, instead, chose to follow the growing trend of dumbed down TV for the attention deficit, celebrity obsessed, "don't ask me to think" audience.

We have more than enough of this formulaic dross already. Frenzied audience, whooping and hollering with evangelical hysteria for no apparent reason. Check. Embarrassingly unfunny opening monologue. Check. Pointless house band. Check. Pre-recorded sketches with celebrities doing "hilarious" stuff to show us they are oh so self-effacing and down to earth (pre-approved by their publicists and lawyers of course). Check. The host fawning over the guests du jour with sycophantic waffle "I just loved your new movie/book/album", "You are a legend/my hero/EVERYBODY loves you" and my personal favourite "Just listen to them.." (wide camera shot of brain dead audience on their feet clapping,chanting, whooping, …) Check.

This latest offering is just more of the same; produced, packaged and tied in a neat little bow. Late night Fallon, Kimmel, Leno, Letterman and yes, I'm looking at you too, Ellen. There is enough day time and evening dumbed downed fluff to fill a pillow the size of the Atlantic. Could late night TV not at least try to be a haven for some sort of integrity? What are the advertisers afraid of? Do they think their particular brand of insomniac medicine dulls the senses that much? Corden, at least, takes proctology to new heights; with each and every star utterance he either guffaws like a demented banshee or gazes open mouthed like a teenager in love.

It is as pointless to compare this to Craig Ferguson's show as it is to compare "Twelve Angry Men" to "Fifty Shades of Grey". I am, however, reminded of one scene from the former LLS. The opening sequence, Craig and Secretariat, their faces mere inches from the camera, both just staring wide eyed. Seconds pass. Nothing happens. Finally Craig says "We're seeing who blinks first". Pointless, infantile, laugh out loud genius. Groucho Marx would have loved it. It will be interesting to see which, if any, of networks blinks first.

Never tolerate disrespect
imfinebangthan22 September 2021
Sorry but never tolerate disrespect. I like you're show because of BTS and I watching you're show because of BTS and ARMY. But you disrespect BTS's the most prestigious UN assembly presence quoting 'UNUSUAL ' & irrelevant. This is the utmost disrespect towards BTS and Army.

I am disappointed...
gyukti22 September 2021
I thought we could trust James but clearly I was wrong you used BTS for clout... you people don't understand that BTS inspires us many people have achieved things they thought they never will be able to cuz of BTS... how dare you say BTS appearing at UNGA is "unsual" ?? Fyi this is their 3rd speech at UN and people of all ages listen to BTS not just "15 year old girls" you deserve the backlash you're getting james.. you messed with the wrong fandom.

Very disappointed...
eleanameadows22 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
On the show, his obviously fake personality is annoying and exaggerated. His recent remarks on the latest episode were stereotypical and problematic, stating that "Only 15 year olds like BTS," which is obviously not true and is offensive to the fans who look up to their idols. He lies to idols and celebrities in order to connect with fans, he lies to have listen to their albums or songs... The skits are borderline too annoying to enjoy. I really can't see this show getting better but, I can definitely see it getting worse...

Big artists from all around the world follow BTS and you calling them 15year old girls!!...not seen a double sided mannerless creature like you..you can't be called a human making joke on people speaking at a platform like UN! Are you bigger the the UN leaders who invited BTS to promote these goals for protecting our world u breathe in...!

Where do they find these hosts for late night???
keelhaul-808565 September 2017
I used to enjoy watching Craig Ferguson and Conan. They weren't the top dogs on their channels, but they could hold your interest after the earlier shows. They were sometimes low-budget, potty-humor, fly- by-night comics, but they were genuinely funny. They seem like real guys, and they found corny and cheap gimmicks and turned them into gold on many occasions. Craig's conversations with a gay robot and that creepy music for Secretariat. So stupid, but somehow it worked. Craig was talented and silly enough to pull it off. It was different and underrated in many ways, and he truly made you laugh. I've sit up a few times with friends or relatives to watch this show, and I just can't get into it. This guy seems like the WORST choice ever to follow up. He seems like some pot-bellied dork with a silly accent(even though Craig had one LOL), wearing clothes that are too small, with a tone of voice that sounds like someone's little sister. He sounds like a child, and hardly any segments make me laugh. Where do they even find these dudes??? I don't know why they thought he would connect with the average American guy. Craig had me in stitches, but this guy reminds me of watching PBS. Who's butt is this Corden guy kissing to get all this attention???

Bleh
cindyapples31 March 2015
I don't think this show is funny and I'm not even sure what they are doing.

James Corden seems like he is an okay person who might be fun to sit at a dinner table with and just chat, but as a television host he is lacking something. I can't quite put a finger on it but he does not seem quite like he is just being himself and caring about the show or his guests.

All of the comedy pieces they do fall flat for us and I just don't see the humor value in them.

I get the feeling they are trying to be absurdly funny and weird and cool the way the last host was but the writers don't seem to get that being stupid doesn't automatically make it funny sometimes it's just stupid.

James Corden is a no talent assclown
litteringand8 February 2020
If I go over to England, do unknown and unfunny losers like Stephen Baldwin get their own network talkshows? Then why does this fat unfunny sensitive baby have one in America.

Finally! A Cure for Insomnia
kld006830 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I've been up slightly later than normal lately partly since I'm enjoying watching David Letterman wind down his show. Since the "Late Late Show with James Corden" follows immediately afterward I've caught some of those shows.

So far what I've seen is, bad monologue, silly banter introducing the guests as they pop out of their various green rooms and warrens (more on that), bad skit, and finally an ensemble interview.

I'm not quite sure what they have in mind when they introduce the guests and then peek the camera into the green room while the guest munches on craft services food, talks on their cell phone, of yuks it up with their pals or entourage. Isn't it enough to just mention the guest's names? Later, as the guests enter the stage from the back or the room, they are required to navigate a gauntlet of audience members who try to shake hands, fist bump or slap hands with the guests. I'm a bit surprised that the guests go for that close personal contact, many seem uncomfortable.

James Corden is conversant enough with the guests, but in a fawning sycophantic manner. The interviews are merely a platitude and not at all deep or particularly informative. Because of the couch ensemble style, the interviews seem awkward and stilted.

The set, and especially the curtains that the guests push aside to enter the stage appear low budget and cheap. It doesn't help the show any if entire stage area looks slightly worse than the old Doctor Who sets.

The show does get kudos for having the band members with the most hair. Sadly, that's not enough to maintain interest in the program.

You cannot replace Craig Ferguson
bcprabhu14 November 2022
Especially not with this hack. Fake and lame host. He really lacks the charm and talent of Craig. It's hardly believable that they choose him. Were there no other competent candidates?

His mannerism feels false and forced like he is hiding his real (bad) personality. He doesn't have the insightful attitude toward his guest which i think is crucial to make a really good talk-show. He is playing it safe and mild which doesn't make him and this product unique or at least good. Making him the host added nothing valuable to it.

I hope they choose someone better next time. He did not deserve this role but he deserved to go.

Did a High School Drama Geek get a Late Night Talk Show?
gohurdler121 October 2016
Not a fan of "The Late Late Show with James Corden." Almost feels like the network decided to give a high school drama geek who is really into musicals a late night talk show. The Carpool Karaoke seems like a cheap gimmick that is overused. The annoying and repetitive theme song was apparently composed by Reggie Watts, and the show's band. The theme song more or less repeats the show's title over and over. I thought that Reggie Watts was great on "Comedy Bang Bang," but so, so on this program. Seems like he doesn't want to upstage Corden.

"The Late Late Show with James Corden" is just too show tuney. It's basically one step below "The Tonight Show Starting Jimmy Fallon." When Craig Ferguson was the host it seemed far more creative in a weird and surreal way, and not in a dumbing down way.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" seems to be the only decent broadcast late night talk show. Although Kimmel seems to be trying very hard to almost recreate "Late Night with David Letterman."

The only real positive thing that I have to say, is that James Corden doesn't have the personality of a wet blanket like his counterpart Seth Meyers, the host of "Late Night with Seth Meyers."

If you want to see an example of the lowest common denominator, watch James Corden as host of "The Late Late Show."

HE'S FAKE
daelieunike22 September 2021
It feels like he's faking his attitude many times. He pretends to be kind. I can't see his sincere. It's like he's being kind when the artist and cameras were there, but act differently when it's just him, his friends, or staffs. I know he needs high rate, but being fake is DISGUSTING.

Need to have negative stars Just AWFUL.
watchtiger127 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Where to start????? Well first of all Corden's show is a rip-off of Fallon's and Leno's but here is the thing it's NOT FUNNY.

I have watched all five nights and he needs to go.

Pre-recorded skits copies of Jay Leno's out on the street or visiting apartments.

A singing skit with Tom Hanks a copy of something Jimmy Fallon does.

I keep expecting something funny and I get NOTHING.

Tonight he did a skit with Mariah Carrey again NOT FUNNY.

I will be finding something else to watch I needs to be fired. Just really bad.
