The Attraction of an Irishman with Chris O'Dowd

James welcomes guests Alicia Vikander and Chris O'Dowd to the show and they launch into discussions about children, family, and all the cuteness and stress of Halloween costumes. For the fall season, Chris took his sons apple bobbing, a foreign concept to Alicia and not a very hygienic activity. Chat turns international with Alicia's recent move to Portugal with her Irish husband, Michael Fassbender. Chris explains exactly what is so appealing about Irishmen, then shares details of his role in the new movie, Slumberland.

Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

I just love Chris O’Dowd. He’s so likable and funny

[@catherinepowers2750]

Poor James. He can’t shut up long enough to let his guests be entertaining. Adore ODowd

[@bot.123]

Yeah, no kidding

[@bot.123]

Wtf? Blow?

[@jasonnoble3971]

You probably handle interviews much better, with the Emmy Awards to prove it, right?

[@tanyam5471]

I love Chris O'Dowd. He is funny and charming. His wife is a very lucky woman.

[@wendydarling5790]

I'm rather sweet on Chris O'Dowd. Always had a thing for Irish men. Sadly, it's never gone well.

[@emilywood6830]

Why hasn't it gone well?

Attraction of an Irishman, his accent, his intelligence, his loyalty to family, his music and being fun at parties. ☘️ 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@trickyd499]

Chris O'Dowd!

[@belladonna131]

He was the police officer in "BRIDESMAIDS" right? He had the strange looking carrot? He liked the single bridemaid who had a now defunct bakery? I thought he was really funny.

[@LindaC616]

Yes. He had a show called "Moon Boy", where he played the imaginary friend of a young boy

[@garod2598]

Nice show James

[@JonnyDIY]

Too funny 😂💕👍

[@RW-gp1dq]

I want this wake-up idea on my phone stat.

[@faradillaramadhita1782]

Alicia Vikander is the best! She's now moving to Lisbon with Michael Fassbender and now they have one baby boy, Frej. Alicia talks about being obsessed with Swedish singer Zara Larsson, and doing an upcoming animated film with "Wolf Like Me" star Isla Fisher. If Alicia and Isla Fisher are doing a movie together for next year.

[@bobgenghiskhan2499]

Yet all I can focus on is the loose Band-Aid on Chris O'Dowd's hand...and Alicia's legs...

[@McGrey450]

And that guy under the sheet was James corden

[@williamkidelo2650]

Fav Host of all time😄😄😄😄😁👌

[@lexruptor]

Yes, Irish and Scottish Men are gorgeous, the accent is gorgeous, I tell ya, of I could be lucky enough to find like a gay Frankie Boyle, or like a Gerard Butler, I'd never have an unhappy day again I tell ya what.

[@niallmaca5670]

That’s not very Irish.

[@emmetpower3610]

Can anyone tell me what his O’Dowds jacket is?

[@villanessa]

I'm Puerto Rican and I went full English 😌💍💘

[@curcumaorganica3944]

❤❤❤

[@Toltendo]

Love Chris, hate Corden and that would be a compliment compared to all the other things everyone else has to say including his production staff.

[@JakkiFN0rmus]

When did James turn into Chris Eubank?

[@deborahfrederique2873]

I wonder if he’s gonna make a tribute to take off

[@squireforhire8007]

Don't be telling an Irish man your part Irish and they will say the cheesiest chat up line. "Oh your only part Irish? Well would you like a bit more irish in you?" 😉

[@wildthinair]

Ex Machina ❤

[@peterpietrzak1253]

He did the voice of Dr Cockroach and had role on the Simpsons one time also?

[@PiglipsMaximus]

I hate how parents start saying number of months for age haha my son is 557 months

[@Britenus]

I thought the same until I was a parent. 13 months is really different than 18 months.

[@LindaC616]

"Kerry County"? No, luv, County Kerry

[@Egonomical]

Alicia is not comfortable at all, she keeps crossing her legs and arms really defensive posture😲😲

[@GodsMemeTV]

Vikander made a big boom in Hollyweed with 2 - 3 good movies than she suddenly disappeared. Would be better if women with 0% talents would instantly disappear and talented like Vikander would stay forever

[@LindaC616]

It was to get married/have a baby. Doubt they would have cast her pregnant

[@tanyam5471]

Alicia is also doing small independent films mostly in Europe. If she is not in Hollywood it doesn't mean she disappeared.

[@thiagogarcia4160]

🇧🇷😉👍

[@XXL_496]

I love you James

[@bk1147]

I'm sorry but James comes across as an awful guy

[@zaastengub2947]

He has been the wokest among the Irish- Americans, shame on you Roy.

FIRST COMMENT🎉

[@williamkidelo2650]

Second comment

[@zainabmohamoud3615]

will see the movie because of Alicia! why the other actor did not make any effort whilst she looked half naked being forced to talk about here young son. this needs to stop! I thought he was homeless man crushing!!!

[@jasongarside73]

Please don't send this guy back to the uk

[@LindaC616]

Too late

[@douglasdauntless]

James Corden has to steal jokes from Ricky Gervais, and others to try and save his failing show. He can't even get 2% of his subscribers to watch.

[@_evelynpq]

alicia is amazing! watch Irma Vep ! 🤍
