According To The Celebrity Rumor Mill, These Stars Can’t Stand James Corden

James Corden. As the Brits might say, he’s like Marmite. Which essentially means that you either love him or you hate him. And sadly for The Late Late Show host, the following 20 celebrities appear to fall firmly into the “hate” camp. Read on to discover the astonishing reasons why the likes of Bill Maher and Pierce Brosnan aren’t big fabs of the larger-than-life comic!

20. Bill Maher

As host of HBO’s popular current affairs and politics show Real Time, Bill Maher is famous for having some strong opinions. And the combative comic fell out with James Corden over the “New Rules” segment on one episode in 2019, in which he tackled obesity in America. Maher opined then, “Fat shaming doesn't need to end, it needs to make a comeback. Some amount of shame is good. Shame is the first step in reform.”

Perhaps not surprisingly, as someone who has openly struggled with his weight, Corden didn’t let Maher’s words pass without comment. No, he would address them in a monologue on The Late Late Show soon after. The Brit chided the outspoken comic for his “fat-shaming” and pushing the “common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy.” The Real Time host then hit back on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, arguing that Corden “missed a great opportunity to literally save lives” and that “he took the easy way out” in slamming him. Easy, fellas.

19. Piers Morgan

Journalist and TV anchor Piers Morgan is never shy of having an opinion on something. And the loudmouth Brit is not afraid of sharing his often-controversial views either, whether on TV or via his Twitter account or newspaper columns. So it should come as little surprise then that Morgan has offered his take on James Corden.

Yes, during an interview with Corden’s Gavin and Stacey co-star Larry Lamb on Good Morning Britain, Morgan labeled The Late Late Show host as “arrogant.” Co-host Susanna Reid had asked Lamb if Corden had changed now he was a big star in America, which led to the belligerent Brit to butt in and assert, “No, he's not changed... he's always been arrogant.” Erm, ever heard the phrase the pot calling the kettle black, Piers?
