Corden is a low key guy and he knows how to talk honestly about his life and career. It was clear that Maron and Corden come from very different parts of show business and they managed to keep the conversation flowing. In the interviews Corden did when he first got the LLS he was very inhibited and hesitant to talk about himself. He now seems much more at ease and confident within his limitations (his low key personality). As for his meeting with Moonves and Tassler, it sounded to me like they had already chosen him to be the next LLS host and they were looking for a way to see if he was interested in the job. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
