James Corden Says 'No One Believes' He 'Wasn't Fired' As Talk Show Host
HuffPost
The former "Late Late Show" host is having trouble convincing people that he didn't get canned by CBS.
James Corden said Tuesday that people in his native England believe he got axed as the host of CBS’s “The Late Late Show” ― and he can’t convince them otherwise. (Watch the video below.)
The comedian visited Jimmy Kimmel’s show on ABC nearly a year after his final episode on CBS, capping an eight-year reign that produced the popular “Carpool Karaoke” and “Crosswalk the Musical” segments.
Corden announced his decision to leave “The Late Late Show” in April 2022 and signed off for good on April 27, 2023, just days before a writers strike forced most talk shows to go dark. His jovial image had already taken a blow when he was he was accused of verbally abusing servers at Balthazar restaurant in Manhattan. He was also accused of stealing a joke by fellow British comedian Ricky Gervais.
It seems fellow Brits have a jaundiced eye regarding the circumstances of his departure now that he’s living again in London.
“People are very nice, but no one believes that I wasn’t fired,” Corden told Kimmel, prompting laughter. “I’ll be in a pub or something and people will be like ... ‘So why’d you come back?’”
