I like this theory immensely.
Absolutely bang on the money.

I don't really mind him. I liked Gavin and Stacey, though League of Their Own is pretty insufferable, for about a million reason. I'd agree he can be a bit Troy McClure: "Hahahahaha. That's a great anecdote. Now you tell one." but ultimately he seems like an okay guy. Or at least okay relative to what someone in his line of work can be. He just seems desperate to be liked, which is never really a very appealing quality in people.
That skit was fecking dreadful.
American and UK English is different? How hilarious!

I hate him with a passion. I hope someone runs him over.
The Tom Hanks skit was shit, lets be honest.
Gavin and Stacey is the only half decent thing my Mrs watches, and for that alone, I love the big fat bugger.
So jealous of Jay Leno. Got to slap him repeatedly.
Finally watched his first eps as the Late Late Show host. I thought he was decent-ish. Reading the comments here I thought he'll be major ass, he actually comes across as too nice. Like @Brophs said, he kinda try too hard to be liked, which is not a good thing. I probably shouldn't compare it to Ferguson's but since he's his direct replacement it's hard not to do. Ferguson's TLLS was a stand out because it doesn't looks like any other late night talk show. He doesn't have a band, he doesn't use cards, and he's charming enough to give an aura of 'doesn't give a damn' while still being likable. Corden's version is now looks like any other late night talk shows. At one point, like Craig, I think he has to start to make it his own whatever that is. It took Ferguson some time to find his niche too
I like him and think he's doing fine, as the month progresses we should start to see his more acerbic side start to come through especially with some of the guests coming on that he really knows already. I like it when he goes into rant mode and with it being the late late night show he should be able to really get experimental.
Will they manage to get Patrick Stewart on though?
I reckon that any Brit who somehow manages to get a show in the US will be popular and do well over there, purely because they love the accent and will, therefore, overlook any other deficiencies. I mean, Piers Morgan! Case closed.
Never watched the show but saw this video which I found pretty funny. Got 3m views on Youtube and 7m views on Facebook. Any people actually watch this show? Is he doing well then?
A lot of people seem to not like him but I quite like the fella.
When I saw this bumped I was hoping for a serious accident of some sort.
He's doing a pretty decent job so far actually. There was a stage where he was popping up on numerous shows in the UK and some people got tired of him because of that. Fair play to the guy, doing a good job so far with this one.
I find him about as funny as a migraine.. But fair play to him if he is doing ok in the good ol’ U.S
He's shit.
He's an absolute wanker. Can't stand the guy.
Can't stand him, really unfunny. The habit of laughing at your own jokes pisses me off no end. So many of my friends love him as well. Wankshaft.
Can see him doing well in America though. Especially with those kind of viewing figures on youtube

Gavin & Stacey was great. Really well made, funny and friendly tv.
I liked that first foray he had out of G&S, I think it was Comic Relief when he gave out to the England team and was all over Beckham.
His show during the world cup was an atrocity.
A League of their Own is utter shite.
Every single thing he's been on since G&S has been painful to watch.
I wish the guy well in America and don't get the hatred thing, but the combination of smile till you bleed US television and himself, mean I won't be tuning in.

I will say one thing, though. MAJOR props for Corden putting all those Brit music acts on his show......
Noel Gallagher, Manic Street Preachers? Especially the Manic's. That was the first ever American tv appearance....

Wanker prick!
fecking noshbag.
Fat plum
I'm British and I like the guy.
Gavin & Stacey was excellent TV.

I saw one of his monologues the other day and I had to turn it off. To replace Ferguson's weirdness with this fat factory line cretin is such a kick in the teeth.
The guy deserves a knighthood.
He was good at reading the football results though.

His entire legacy is a lie.
Please tell me no one thought he was actually driving.
Seriously? Next you tell me he has the lyrics in the sun visor?
I'm British and can't stand the prick.
Next you'll tell me wrestling isn't real
Of course wrestling is real, just look at all the crap Mankind had to go through!
Next you’ll tell me he doesn’t have breast implants
He's a turd sandwich
Supposedly a grade A cnut away from the cameras.
He’s a tumescent unfunny Fcuk knuckle
I didn't know him until he popped up on that US chat show as I've never watched anything he had been in in the UK. So he doesn't annoy me particularly and nowhere near as annoying as Letterman (a low bar as he was a hugely smug twat).
Not that I watch him much.
