I am absolutely baffled at the coverage this is getting. It's bizarre.

Admittedly, I cannot stand the unfunny prick, but I am utterly baffled.

Primetime BBC news, clips being played on the radio, mentioned in every hourly new bulletin, masses of coverage on the internet.

Man leaves job - big fucking wow!!!!!!!!!

There is so much sourness on here. What do you get out of this? Go admire the blossom. Make a cup of tea. Stop marinading your soul in spite.

This 💯

We get the joy of joining in on a community spirit of hating that unfunny cunt of a man. Whilst drinking tea.

Loving katyperryseyelids dad's list 🤣 and wanting to see it.

But really there is news about so many ppl I don't care about - The Kardashians, Kanye West...etc etc etc.

Don't get the hate for JC. I've never watched his show, but Gavin and Stacey was great, and more recently Mammals was a really good series.

SherbetDips · 28/04/2023 16:31

You care sooo little yet took time out of your life to come on here to tell strangers you don’t care.

Porkandbeans1 · 28/04/2023 16:34

Does that mean we have to have him back?

Fairislefandango · 28/04/2023 16:34

YANBU. I mean... I wouldn't have gone as far as starting a thread about it, but I was certainly a bit baffled by the coverage of such a non-event.

I love Gavin and Stacey and don’t quite get why everyone hates him so much.

He makes my toes curl. He's an unfunny, sycophantic luvvie, and you just sense that he'd be really horrible in real life (confirmed by many people- celebrities and normal people alike).

Shirls2 · 28/04/2023 16:37

I remember during the World Cup there was a Tweet or something before the England v USA game which said the loser gets to keep James Corden. 😁 Can’t stand him either, especially now I know how obnoxious he is.

'I thought Gavin and Stacey (apart from Alison Steadman) was dire.'

Greetings, kindred spirit! I thought I was the only one. Virtually everyone else raves about it. I think most of the cast are great actually but they are wasted on an AWFUL script and cheesy story. It's so bad 🤦🏻‍♂️

I loved it except for Alison Steadman as I think she is incredibly annoying. She played to her strengths in Gavin and Stacey and reached really high levels of annoying.

I have a slice of coffee and walnut cake with my cup of tea. I'm feeling very relaxed but need to do dinner soon as GS is going out so I'm relishing this bit of me time.

SchoolShenanigans · 28/04/2023 16:48

I find him funny. I know he's a twat but he's a funny twat!

No one's forcing you to care, we all like different things.

StrawberryWater · 28/04/2023 16:53

He’s a bit annoying, and a bit of a twat sure, but I just don’t get the rage I see for him. It’s like a fashion trend to hate on certain people.🤷‍♀️

Snowite · 28/04/2023 16:54

@BellatrixLestrangesHeatedCurlers just done the Reddit ama.... literally shaking with laughter now after a super stressful day thank you so much

billy1966 · 28/04/2023 16:56

I thought Gavin and Stacey was fine but he seems quite unpleasant, not least sitting separately to his children on a plane?
If he did put them in economy and ignored his wife wrestling them off the plane, then he is clearly an utter twat.

My soul is marinating in the spite of my hatred for lots of celebrities.

Not as much as my dads did though. He had a little book of all the celebrities he hated, he started it in 1950 when he was 14. He would add people and then tick them off when they died.

He’s got dementia now and can’t tell you which was is up, but I have taken it over. He’s really racking them up now, I’ve had to tick off a hell of a lot of names over the last few years on his behalf.

Now that is living with your soul marinated in spite.

(James Corden is on my dads list, he was one of the last people he added before he became ill).

Fair fucking play to your dad. I like this. I might do this.

I thought it was weird how much publicity the BBC was giving to a presenter leaving a show we don't watch in the UK. I can only conclude that - sadly - he has signed a deal with the BBC and they are trying to ramp up his currency for when is it is announced 😕

This. Watch out!

bringbacksideburns · 28/04/2023 17:05

What was more nauseating was suffering through a few secs of a clip of the car thing with Adele.
With her fake tears and elaborate hand gestures I detest her more than him.

Saw some old footage of her the other day and she is so LA now. But pretending to be ‘real.’ Bollocks! ( Got it on good authority she’s turned into a massive bitch.)
Probably why they are such ‘pals’ as they both ignore anyone who isn’t a celebrity or powerful.

Corden will be ok though. He may keep a low profile for a bit and write and produce. The BBC won’t turn their back completely as they know he’ll bring in some dosh.

Every time I see his name, I feel the urge to read the disastrous Reddit AMA thread. Google "james corden boozy panda" and have a laugh.

Thank you for this. I've just roared with laughter for ten minutes.

Fluffymule · 28/04/2023 17:11

The infamous PopBitch post about his behaviour towards his wife in the First Class cabin on a transatlantic flight speaks much about his entitled and unpleasant attitude.

But it's the stuff I've read about his, and his producer mate Ben Winston's, alleged treatment of staff and writers on his talk show that really make him out to be an utter wanker. There's a Reddit AMA thread from 4 years ago where he, unadvisedly with hindsight, went on and posted "I am James Corden, alongside Ben Winston and five of our team members who help us make Carpool Karaoke for The Late Late Show. Ask me anything. Ask us anything!"

Suffice to say, it didn't go well.

Utterly brilliant, ticking them off when they died 😂😂😂

Oh FFS, this is basically a forum to air your minor irritations.

Have you never uttered a word to anyone when you have been annoyed by something completely benign, in fear of someone saying 'well you can't think it's that benign, because yOu'Re TaLkInG aBoUt It'

I think he’s ‘glory’ is over now and he’s on the downward slide. He seems to have upset enough people with his alleged arrogance that he’s set the wheels in motion for his downfall.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 28/04/2023 17:28

Why is he coming back when he’s so successful stateside? I did love Gavin and Stacey.
