Is there something missing in that quote? He didn't hold the baby for her or what happened?
it's implied the woman was his wife and it's his baby and he just ignored them the entire flight
Ohhhhh, completely missed that. Aw, I missed the joke.
I may be incorrect and I have no evidence to back this up, but hasn't Ricky Gervais come out and basically accused Corden of stealing his schtick?
For the life of me, I can't remember where I heard or read that bit. If it's not true, I apologize.

I just find him bland and if the stories about him being a dick to writers and others are true then fuck him.
As long as they keep him locked in late night he cant fuck with Doctor Who.

what is ricky's schtick? just being a loud british guy?
considering so much ricky's stand-up is just retelling things other people have said i don't think he should be in any position to accuse anyone of theft
This tosser replaced one of the greatest and natural talk show hosts ... no one I know can stand the guy and his popularity has been a constant source of perplexity.
Might be the funniest shit he's ever said.
Didn't even know he hosted lol
But yeah, whole thing looks like a shitshow.
You know they're never inviting him back lmao
I could see it. Cordon is nearly as unlikeable as Gervais.
Don't they say that every time? I think he's done it like 5 times now. Gervais' edginess seems to be part of the golden globes now. And honestly he might be the perfect host for a bunch of drunk celebrities, when they might too tipsy to care what he says.
You might be right. I haven't watched it since I was like 15.
Besides some of the reasons already posted regarding pay for writers and him allegedly just being an asshole, I've just never really found him all that funny or affable. Maybe it's a chicken-egg thing, but he's always struck me as pretty bland and broad in humor, which then makes me not want to watch more of him than I see in passing, which then reinforces my impression of his humor. He's like Jimmy Fallon to me, except that Fallon at least prompts some memorability due to how extreme of a giggler he is and how almost manic in his propensity for fawning over his guests he is.
Corden isn't as extreme as the worst parts of Fallon, but that also makes him even less memorable to me. I don't actively dislike the dude, he's just the equivalent of unflavored oatmeal to me.

Yeah Gervais at the globes is like South Park, they know what they're getting into and his 'outrageousness' makes good headlines, which is likely considered decent publicity and advetising, even just making money on you tube clips.
Really loved his video responding to Bill Maher, who was wishingfat shaming made a comeback (as if it ever left), it really spoke to me and I shared it. It led me to write quite a bit on the subject because it made a lot of frustrations resurface. I'm not an important public person by any means, but it was the first writing I've done in years that I actually shared with people on a public platform. And it was because of that video. I think he made a good job of being funny while talking about something serious and sad.
That being said I can't comment about his overall shows, appearances, etc. I don't really care for the car singing thing and I don't really like late night shows, I watch clips sometimes. I thought he was funny and good on Doctor Who, but aside from that the fat shaming video is the only piece I've really taken time to watch of him and it had a good impact on me.
Sad to hear he is kind of a dick.

I assume because of his weight, as the negativity started when he branched out to US and TV there seems to have a real vanity problem compared to UK.
Funnily enough, he found success playing characters that are meant to be relatable and down to earth. He's meant to be like the opposite of the characters Russell Brand would play.
I liked him on that one episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor moves in with him temporarily and ends up making him and his roommate realize they love each other. But that was it. Now he's everywhere. I don't even want to use a Keurig anymore out of spite. I also miss Craig Ferguson. He was GOAT. Most of the time he was more fun than Conan.
Had you seen this Craig Ferguson Doctor Who show opener? It got cut at the time.
He's irritating in everything I've had the misfortune to see him in and I've heard he's a right bell-end off-camera, too. All of these stories people are posting in this thread cement the fact of how much of an unlikable arsehole he really is.
No, he isn't. Pretty much the furthest thing from it.
Craig Ferguson is hands down one of the best talk show hosts of all time. ALL TIME. He is just so fucking human and didn't give any fucks. Any guy who can authentically say when asked "who was your favorite guest" and Craig without a pause replies "Archbishop Desmond Tutu" PERIOD. That made him legend to me.
This was a great recent listen for me because I like Bert and love Craig.
If this commonly used reason were true then wouldn't the same hate apply to a larger group of successful celebrities?
This only happens to ugly and fat celebrities, same reason people hate Kevin James,
Yeah, because everyone hates Jack Black. Get outta here with that bullshit, the criticism against James Corden has nothing to do with his physical appearance.
