James Corden's rant about Halloween prompts all his staff to turn on him.
James Corden's rant about Halloween prompts all his staff to turn on him
James Corden does not like Halloween.
During the Late Late Show monologue on Thursday, after co-head writer Ian Karmel casually mentioned that he's looking forward to it, Corden made his feelings abundantly clear.
"I dread it," the host said through gritted teeth. "I actually dread it. And you know the thing I dread most? Is that people call it a holiday. Which it isn't. If it was, we wouldn't have to come in to work that day."
Other things Corden hates about Halloween? The pumpkin carving ("What joy are you getting from it?") and — most notably — the idea of adults dressing up in scary costumes.
Luckily for any Halloween fans out there, though, Corden's opinions don't go unchallenged. After sparring with various staff members, writer Louis Waymouth finally grabs the mic and puts him firmly in his place.
"You're nuts for Christmas, you go nuts for Santa!" Waymouth protests. "You're a big child. Santa and the elves, you love all that. Jingle-jangle. But no Halloween, it doesn't make sense. You don't make sense. You're full of sh*t."
Well, that certainly told him.
Oh, you know what's gonna happen: Every staff wears a costume without telling James and he just becomes the guy wearing a formal suit on a costume party. That would be a good bit.
ReplyDeletei'm ready to publicly fight james over halloween. this halloween slander is absolutely unacceptable
ReplyDeletethen go to the cbs studios with your friends and protest in costume...
DeleteHis opinion about adults is actually reasonable. Its a day for kids to have fun, not for adults. You can party, carve pumpkin or whatever, but leave the costumes to the kids. Also, Americans overtly commercialized it that it actual significance is basically gone. And yes, it's not a "holiday", for other cultures, probably in Europe and Asia, but for Americans? It's just another reason for them to get drunk and behave badly. So yes, leave the Halloween spirit to the kids.
DeleteMy man so aggressively took James down over his love of Christmas >.<
ReplyDeleteAt the rate nick's popularity is going, he better hire an agent or at least promote his current assistant go one!
ReplyDeleteApologize to BTS and ARMY, James :| :| :|
ReplyDeleteWhat for? I'm so confused, they didn't mention ARMY or BTS at all.
DeleteI'm ARMY 30 years from ����, is that still a child for you james? next time use good words, even if you're joking it's not a good joke
ReplyDeleteWhoa... just found out James and I share a birthday, except that he's 8 years younger... and that is middle name is Kimberley... which has nothing to do with anything, it's simply hysterical...
ReplyDeleteDude, I’m 22 years old and I’m Army since their debut
ReplyDeleteBTS are meant to be loved
At what minute did he say this?
DeleteO CONFÍE EN USTED EX- PAPÁ MOCHI, LO APRECIÉ, Y USTED SOLO...... AHHH :(
ReplyDeletePERO BUENO, USTED MISMO MOSTRO QUE ES UNA FICHITA, (DOBLE CARA ) :( AHORA LO DETESTO
Looks like this era is coming to a close. They're gonna bring back the studio audience and this show will be worse for it. It was nice while it lasted
ReplyDeleteIs he canceled? Yes he is.
ReplyDeleteBye bye Papa Mochi, I mean clout chaser.
Is this season of The Late Late Show just an excuse to get Nick an acting gig?
ReplyDeleteAll these sketches and podcasts, Nick this and Nick that! >:D
#FinsUpbaby Nick B. is the new Nick Cage!
'Nick at Night'? lol ... loved that... the old 'Adult Swim' /\
DeleteThat's not fair!
ReplyDeleteHe gets to play grown up dress up whenever he wants and gets PAID for it.
Halloween is all we got man!
This is an affliction if you grow up a Boy Scout. I have three Eagle Scouts in the family and every time presents are being opened 3 knives flick open and my mom abs I roll our eyes
ReplyDeleteWe should ask James or Ian to wear something specific to acknowledge the YouTube audience. Like a yellow tie or something. I love this show!
ReplyDeleteSee how the Brits (James & Louis) in real action going at each other's throats about holidays.....Really something to watch man.......!
ReplyDeleteHey at least 90 million 15year old girls wants to secretary general Antonio but yet if you paid them a billion dollar still wouldn't be you
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALL OF YOU !!!! YOU MAKE MY MORNINGS !!! :) LOUIE you and James are hysterical. :) Nick is going to need an agent :)
ReplyDeleteHalloween is on a Sunday this year so James will get the day off his “holiday”
ReplyDeleteP.S. basically you just belittled the whole effort to promote positive energy and vibes.Now the media will concentrate on"toxic Army," instead of some young men trying to make things a little better in this screwed up world.Hope a few thousand laughs were worth the million broken hearts...young and old alike.
ReplyDeleteIt’s such an uno reverse card
DeleteFinally!
ReplyDeleteIt took forever for them to upload this
James ... just sit and watch how it comes down ;D HHH
ReplyDeleteJames, you can always do another Halloween themed vid with Niall. Or better yet Liam. He loves spooky!
ReplyDeleteWas not expecting the “paint is so white” jokes at the end ;D Writers did great job on that.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to tell Khaby about Reggie wanting to cut his mask off his face
ReplyDeleteI think this is hilarious ;D aaaand Louis has a point. Lol
ReplyDeleteOn that note, i suggest we have a Halloween costume competition among select members of the team incuding Rob: and James and 2 other gang members judge for the winner
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for jimin
ReplyDeleteHonestly James I really used to like you, and I thought that your relationship with BTS was real, but this is extremely disappointing, this is the third time BTS has appeared in the UN and every time for very important issues. This is a huge honor, not something to joke around to sound funny. And honestly joking and trying to devalue ARMY by saying we are all 15 years old, was something that I thought you would never do. Sadly it looks like you too were using them just for clout. So sad to hear this . Please take Papa Mochi from your bio.
ReplyDeletePorsche's dont have headrests, so if I would be Reggie I would still keep the knife.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if a car had head rests I would never rely on getting them out of the seat while I’m panicking for my life, when it‘s already a fight when you‘re not strapped to your seat, only to find out, that the ends of the head rest are rounded so nobody get‘s hurt, including your car‘s windows. ;)
DeleteEveryone needs a knife. I carry one myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI can tell by the ratio that you made a BTS joke. I'm sure their fans will react calmly and in a non-cultish way.
ReplyDeleteLMAO ;D
DeleteI just don't understand how someone who plays pretend for a living, doesn't get Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI will smash my television off the roof if this show ever goes back to having an audience.
