Was It For This?

The Into the Woods star has been chosen by members of the US-Ireland Alliance to receive the honour in recognition of his contributions to film and television. The prize is usually given to entertainers with Irish roots, but it is occasionally handed to honorary Irishmen or Irishwomen.

Is that the sound of a barrel being scraped I hear?

That is it, the very last straw…..I’m heading back to my home planet for good now…..

He should be tried for his crimes against film and television instead

The “members of the US-Ireland Alliance” are either deluded or have been maliciously hypnotised against their will. Cordon is a talentless chancer.

The same could be said for most of us in life….. You take your chances when you get them… That’s broadly how success works…..

He’s a ballsy and naturally gregarious enough fellow…. That accounts for a lot of his success…. For many in media and broadcasting, that’s enough.

While he’s not really my cup of tea, your description of talentless chancer is deeply flawed. His Tony and Bafta awards are testament to that. His writing and production skills have earned him huge respect and good look to him. There’s no way on earth CBS would have placed him on the LLS if he was not able to deliver…

  Don’t you see that he’s “winging it” when you watch him on TV?
  Much like Ed Byrne.
  Clearly just me then.
  Fair enough.
  
  P.S. I didn’t know that the Christian Brothers placed him on the Late Late.

    No Spaghetti Hoop you are correct…he is a talent less chancer…. He is as funny as a kick in the face.

      I also had the misfortune to see him hero-worship yer man Gary Barlow (only because it was on Gogglebox). Desperate stuff altogether.

I thought Gavin and Stacey was well written, he’s far from the worst out there.

  lots of internet people don’t like him because he had an incident with Patrick Stewart, spiritual leader of the geeks

    That would be a point in James’ favour. I like P-Stew fine but he’s as much of a Bengal Lancer as Corden

  He was superb in Two Men One Guvnor
