Corden is a talent worth watching for his sheer likability, musical and comedy talent, and genuine love of culture, pop and otherwise. He’s bending the late-night comedy show formula to fit his skill set, which given this first outing, is impressive.
Corden clearly appears to have the goods.... Most importantly, he has an obvious ability to perform bits that'll hold up in the cold light of dawn, or more specifically on the Internet.

James Corden is not only funny, but he's absolute genius ! I will stay up until 11:35PM just to watch
the monologue and have RARELY not found it funny.

SEASON 1
I used to be a David Letterman fan before his departure from late night t.v. and never really thought I would like another late night show again, because I always found the rest so lackluster. However, James Corden is absolutely owning the late night show business in my opinion! I find him to be absolutely charming, he brings out the best in the celebs he has on the show, and he is quite talented in his own right. His carpool karaoke segments are my absolute **** puts the musicians in a much more relaxed environment where I think they are able to open up more and be more themselves. Thus we get to see a side of them we don't normally see and we wouldn't see if they were just performing on his show. His show is very outside the box at times and I love it! I hope CBS keeps him around for many, many years and maybe even gives him a better time slot, because I bet the ratings would just go right through the roof. If people love Ellen and Oprah they would absolutely adore James during prime time as long as nothing on his show changed!

SEASON 1
By the time Corden sang a wry little tune thanking us for watching, he seemed as comforting as a cup of tea and a biscuit. He may not be boldly going where no late-night host has gone before, but based on first impressions, Corden looks like he'll be making himself at home in no time.
For all that he would shamelessly borrow from them across the hour, he seemed markedly different from that pack he’s lumped in with. In fact, he was even refreshing.
Corden isn’t as facile as Fallon, but he also isn’t as fawning. Instead of bringing guests out one at a time, he bunched them (a good move) but didn’t have enough experience to pull both into all conversations.
Mr. Corden, a portly British performer, was energetic, amiable and cheerfully self-assured, but not particularly special.
Corden is inoffensive and upbeat, so it’s hard to hate him, but it’s hard to imagine him building a dedicated following, either. Unlike Ferguson, who made his little corner of late night into something unique, Corden is just marking time until viewers fall asleep.
Since i was previously DVR'ing Craing Ferguson ,i decided to give it a try with the new host.I like James Corden and I started to watch him with an open mind. At the begining i enjoyed it and i could n't wait to watch the next episode, however i am starting to get sick of his schizophrenic ways of hosting the show... way too much compliments to the guests, trying to be on the right sides of things ,etc. and i can't put my finger on in what it is with the show that it's running thin . i guess, that piece of dancing in the middle of the street (Grease) was my breaking point . It was way too long and ridiculous . I guess, i am going to hang in there until Colbert comes along. I truly miss Craig Ferguson , Geoff and **** i guess they are busy solving crimes. :D

SEASON 1
When announced, I couldn't understand the choice of James Corden. Little known in the States but for those devoted BBC America fans, his inclusion was confusing. Then came the premier and it all became clear- The Graham Norton Show! This is essentially The Graham Norton Show for American audiences. Does it work? To a certain extent. The problem is The Graham Norton Show in it's current incarnation is beginning to wear a bit thin after 8 years, and the Late Late Show w/ James Corden is also wearing thin- after only a little over a month! It's all so formulaic and predictable- the jokes are the most obvious, the pre-taped bits seem written by 9 year old girls (performing "Grease" in the crosswalks of Beverly Boulevard and Genesee Avenue in Hollywood was a painfully silly idea that went on for a painfully long time)- the humor is just so juvenile it seems its main audience will have been in bed asleep for hours before the show comes on!
When it was Craig Ferguson, there wasn't a predictable second on his show- extremely intelligent, fast witted and just plain laugh out loud fun! Every morning (thanks to DVR) we'd start the day with Craig and Geoff Peterson. We tried waking up with James, but noise does not equal energy and the lack of anything more than a slight chuckle just makes me want to go back to bed. New morning routine- light classical music and stronger coffee. The Late Late Show is just piling up on the DVR and it's getting harder and harder to get through them. I may just have to give up. Bottom line: CBS would have been wise to sign Tom Lennon as the replacement- he just seems a more natural fit with the energy and quick wit needed to fill Craig's enormous shoes (though sadly, not Tom's actual feet!)

I LOVE Craig Ferguson! I couldn't bring myself to watch James Corden. However now, the Colbert Show over & Corden comes on. He is overweight, and standing there holding his hands together like he needs the bathroom. It sickens me that he got a studio makeover, is getting advertised & CBS promotes him. I have tried, but I can't watch him without thinking he looks uncomfortable being so heavy. I cant make it thru a show. His carpool karaoke is a good idea depending on his guest. Cordon panders to his guests, &while he may be sincere, he isn't funny.
Trevor Noah is fantastic replacing John Stewart, with his own brand of humor. James Corden unfortunately just makes me miss Craig Ferguson more.

SEASON 1
The Late Late Show with James Corden is a mediocre attempt at copying Graham Norton. As a huge fan of Craig Ferguson, I am appalled by this show. This is a **** version of Graham Norton, with a bit of Jimmy Fallon thrown in to appeal to Americans, because Americans love post-SNL Fallon for some reason. Everything he says to the guests sounds heavily scripted and extremely fake. I miss Craig ripping up the interview cards every episode. Overall, awful.
