James Corden on Life After Late Night, Everyone Thinking He Was Fired & Pulling Trump on Stage

James talks about adjusting to normal life after being a talk show host, his kids being mad that they moved to England, no one believing he wasn’t fired, his new show “The Constituent,” Jimmy going to see James in One Man Two Guvnors on a night his understudy was filling in for him, pulling Donald Trump on stage during a performance in 2012, his podcast “This Life of Mine,” having Dr. Dre & Martin Scorsese on, and the mysterious lights over Los Angeles.

NBC/Colbert could learn from this show how to post a video of their guest. One video of the whole interview, instead of chopping it up into 2 or 3 segments, not even posted in order. Good job Kimmel and crew.

[@jerushamaxwell281]

James Corden always reminds me of how much I miss Craig Ferguson hosting the 'Late Late Show'. He must have been operating on a small budget with no band, a robot sidekick and two interns in a horse costume, and Craig made the best of it all as a highly talented comedian offering original delightful material. I checked out Corden as host, and found him to be a let down.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

You do realize that the robot sidekick and horse would have been his choice and the low budget look was his style, right? They did put more into booking big guests with James, but I would give Craig some credit for his choices. The complaining about the budget was part of his schtick.

[@faithinverity8523]

Ferguson is a late-night diety

[@paradise_valley]

Yeah didn’t love him as a person but he had a great band with Reggie (kinda like the Fallon with The Roots dynamic who are amazing) and carpool karaoke was good and there were a couple good bits on the show. Same with Ellen, not for me humour wise or aesthetically but her show was a bit like Graham Norton and she could get the most celebs.
