Since James Corden has been called out as a notoriously “abusive customer” by one manager at a top restaurant in New York, its been open season on the badly behaved TV host.

Now Twitter is alight with stories about his prima donna antics seeping into his work at The Late Late Show With James Corden.

A video has resurfaced from a 2016 episode of the CBS TV show in which Corden and fellow late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel played a round of ‘Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts’.

The game consists of each host asking the other questions, and if they can’t answer, they have to eat or drink an unappetising dish.

“Name two of the cameramen in this room,” Kimmel asked in one portion.

“That is a great question,” giggled Corden, before replying that it was a “different crew tonight, actually” while reaching for a fish smoothie.

Journalist Sam Stryker dug up the juice and splayed it all over Twitter:

Obviously those stories are anecdotal but I found it so telling when Corden couldn’t name any of his cameramen during a segment on his own show. These are the guys who he owes his image + livelihood to! https://t.co/NlmX522xGK

Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure:

Per The New York Post, during a Q&A segment with his audience a year later, two crowd members (who actually work for the show) gave Corden another chance to name two cameramen:

“Their names?” the comedian repeated. “Well, that’s easy. That’s … Sebastian.”

“No, it’s Brian,” the cameraman responded.

“Well, Brian is short for Sebastian in England,” Corden joked.

When Corden was then asked to name a second cameraman, he replied, “We actually have a nickname for each other. We call each other ‘Big Boy.’” “Help me out because your contract is up soon,” he added.

Corden then launched into a scripted rant, jokingly calling the “irrelevant” cameramen “monkeys” as the crew members pretended to leave the stage.

The Daily Mail also reported on audience reviews of the show, with many folks complaining that Corden refused to give them the time of day as if his head was too big to see them:

TripAdvisor reviews from audience members of the show paint a picture of an egotistical host who fails to interact with the crowd unless the cameras are rolling.

Some said his show organizers deliberately sat unattractive people in the back of the studio, with one person claiming to have overheard Corden say he ‘didn’t want to look’ at an overweight man who had shown up for a taping.

In response to Balthazar’s Keith McNally’s rant about Corden mistreating his waiting staff on repeated occasions, other people also came forward with similar tales.

Stryker added some of them to his Twitter trove:

In 2020, Corden did actually admit to his struggle with anger, attributing his bad behaviour to “that first flush of fame” in a New Yorker interview.

“I started to behave like a brat that I just don’t think I am,” he added.

Based on all these receipts, there’s still some work to do, buddy.
