Not to pile on James Corden, about whom I have few strong feelings pro or con, as I have seen very little of his work (mostly the clip of him driving through Liverpool with Paul McCartney, which I like). But he was caught telling a monologue joke about Twitter that was almost word for word from Gervais’ 2018 Netflix Special.
Gervais’ speculation that Cordon had no idea, and just approved and used a joke brought to him by his writers, sounds right. Unaddressed in this article is, was the writer fired? Isn’t something like this about as bad as it gets for a late night comedy writer? https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/02/james-corden-ricky-gervais-joke/ -- Sent from Gmail Mobile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
