For wondering who gives a shit that James Corden hosted his last show last night?

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!!!!!!!!!

@katyperryseyelid you need to do an AMA about the celebs on your dads list. I absolutely love that he has his list it is genius.

also agog at the amount of coverage of James Corden leaving his job and now worried, thanks to a pp, that it’s because he’s signed a contract with the BBC

Worried? Seriously? If you don’t like him, skip to another channel. It’s actually so easy. How about we all try and ‘worry’ about something that actually matters?

How people are getting this worked up about someone they’ve never met and don’t have to watch/ read about is beyond me.

James Cordon= mildly irritating, but mostly because other people are always telling me he's irritating. I also found it bizarre that this made the news over here.

I fucking love Gavin and Stacey though.

To be honest I wondered why it was on a news bulletin also. How many people in the UK watched it? It does feel like a media thing where media people care so think non media people do too? If it was Adele’s retirement gig I could understand a mention, but this???

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).

This is hands down one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read on here.

Ooh bloody hell I seemed to have riled you a little bit there, I apologise, the ‘worried’ was definitely tongue in cheek and was not meant to take away from the atrocities in the world that I am actually worried about (this is also tongue in cheek, sorry).

In reality I probably just won’t watch anything that he is in because I find him a bit annoying, is that more acceptable to you? 🫤

I've never liked him, he seems like a nasty piece of work. Hopefully he will drift away into obscurity now.

What did the celebrities think of your dad?

Fuck knows.

Maybe Des O’Connor had his own list and my dad was on his.

Yeah but don't you think that THAT James Corden is completely different?

FlowersEverywherePlease · 29/04/2023 21:51

I should probably add all fucking bastard Tories to my list.

FlowersEverywherePlease · 29/04/2023 21:52

Oh and I also 💖 G&S

Dislike him. Wish he would stay in the US.
