James Corden vs Patrick Stewart

Recommended Posts

This was touched on yesterday afternoon, and discussed by Chris and team this morning at the start of the breakfast show, but for anyone who hasn't had a chance to see the exchange between James Corden and a rather rude Patrick Stewart at a recent awards ceremony, here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyNvyn0mBXY

I can't decide if PS is trying to be funny and its just can't pull it off, or if he is just being exceptionally rude for no apparent reason. I would have thought it was staged, but I get the impression from the serious look on JC's face particularly when the belly is mentioned that he was genuinely surprised and offended by what PS was saying about/to him

It was a bad joke, yes, but Corden really didn't need to react the way he did about it. It was the same type of joke he's based his career on so I don't see what his problem was. Also that stupid bint who plays Nu-Hura didn't help things either. Think both were wrong here, but Corden a little more so, if he's such a professional, he could have handled a small joke better. Squaring up to an old man, yeah that makes you REAL Brave James.... :rolleyes:

Disagree, Cordon merely used his right to reply. The comment about 'dying' wasn't an age reference. It was a reference to the lack of a punchline. Stewart could have just done what he was booked for and hand out an award, instead he chose to start an argument

Stewart just made a bad joke, the 'comedian' overreacted. Agree Stewart shouldn't have done that but Corden was aggressive in his reply for no reason. I know it wasn't an age reference, but it was still unwarranted. Stewart is a legend, what gives Corden the right to treat him the way he did over a joke (an admittedly lame one, but still a joke). Also the way he butted in so rudely, he didn't give Stewart the chance to finish.

If James Corden ever becomes a knight (which WON'T happen) and a legend at the level Stewart is, I hope someone treats him like crap over a lame joke (which he makes himself sometimes, even now) and see how he likes it.

No problem with him using his so-called right to reply, but the way he did it was highly unprofessional. Is he really that thin-skinned unless he's the one making the joke about his belly? :rolleyes:

Marvin, I can see you have a slight point, JC does make jokes about his weight however what PS said was uncalled for. It doesnt matter how much of a legend PS may or not be, even if it was a joke it didnt come across as 1. The bit at the beginning where he seemed unsure of his name seemed like a bit of humour and was taken as such, but from there on it went downhill. There wasn't a need to pass comment on what was going on in the background, he was there to hand out an award and that was it.

I don't blame JC for being pissed off by what was said, someone who thought they were being funny was ripping into his size infront of a lot of people. Jo Brand often makes jokes about being fat, but does that give others the right to make out of the blue comments about her size and rip into her for it ? I think not

It happens at her live gigs, the difference is Jo Brand has the experience, humour and professionalism to deal with it better than Corden, despite outward appearances.

Both men came out badly. Stewart was clearly trying to be funny at Corden's expense and Corden could end world hunger and still be a dick. Neither man won out in this case.

Yeah, agree with that. Like I said I don't really like what Stewart did either, but Corden's reaction also made him look like an unprofessional a*** to me.

i like Stewart & Corden,

however Stewart looked like a complete cock & my opinion of him has fell quite sharply due to this indecent, i don't know what he was thinking, Corden should have come up with something better though, this is how it should have been done

Now see, that's the one time I've ever laughed at Russell Brand. His retort was quite funny and he didn't sound overly aggressive like Corden, he wasn't snarling into Geldof's face etc. Also this appears to have been a much bigger awards thing too.

Couldn't agree more. Stewart had a lame dig, and if he's a knight he should start acting like one. Corden responded and made him look stupid on stage, as you would if someone has a go at you so publicly like that. Stewart in the wrong for me entirely.

I'm guessing you'd still say that had Corden made a joke about Stewart first too... and it wasn't a go, it was a joke. People REALLY need to learn the f***ing difference here, especially so-called comedians like Corden. :rolleyes:

Corden had a right to reply, but he's not a Jimmy Carr who can kill hecklers beautifully in one swoop. It came across far too defensive and yet aggressive at the same time. Plus, he's a dick so it's not like Stewart shouldn't have said anything. He should have just ripped him for his shit Horne & Corden show and the awful skits with the England team, rather than his weight.

Is your argument just based on your obvious dislike of Corden?

No, there was a point where I liked him, then he had to go and be an arse about this. I dislike this, I like some of his other work, but even the stuff he's done that I liked was nothing special really, this just sends him down in my estimation (and also Stewart a little too, FYI, that will probably be ignored... but there we go :x). He had the potential to deal with it in a way that was actually funny, and he blew it, apparently due to his own ego.

I don't like Russell Brand, but the way he dealt with things in the Geldof video was a million times better than Corden here and I actually liked what Brand did, even if it is the only time I've ever really laughed at anything he did. I may not like his style but he had the professionalism not to get in Geldof's face about it and start snarling at him etc. I did already mention this in posts above.

So in a word, No, that isn't the sole basis of my argument. :rolleyes:

No. Not just an obvious dislike of Corden. An obvious dislike of me too.

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
