Corden told his audience it was a beautiful night in LA ‘so beautiful, Harvey Weinstein has already asked tonight up to his hotel to give him a massage’. He then continued saying: ‘I don’t know whether that groan was that you liked that joke or you don’t like that joke. If you don’t like that joke you should probably leave now.’ He then said: ‘It has been weird this week, hasn’t it, watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water. Ask any of the women who watched him take a bath … it’s weird watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water. Harvey Weinstein wanted to come tonight but he’ll settle for whatever potted plant is closest.’ The ‘jokes’ were not received well by the audience in attendance at the amfAR or viewers around the world.
Has James Corden’s voice changed?
Fans of The Late Late Show starting commenting that changes could be heard in Corden’s voice from episode to episode – but this is due to his voice being overdubbed by an American actor. According to a statement on the CBS website: “James’ accent is so thick that most Americans cannot understand him. To overcome this, CBS actually overdubs all James’ lines after taping. The voice you hear on-air is actually Jim Parsons doing a British accent.” We’re not sure how true that statement is.
