'Most demanding host': Craig Duncan slams James Corden for using foul language toward employees
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Renowned TV director Craig Duncan has recently made scathing comments about James Corden, labeling the English comedian as "the most difficult and obnoxious presenter" he has ever worked with. Duncan directed Corden during an episode of the popular British game show, 'A League of Their Own', until 2019. Duncan took to YouTube to express his experiences with the actor, who allegedly berated and cursed at staff during filming in 2013.
In his video, which has since been shared widely, Duncan revealed that Corden insulted his lens-work, calling him 'stupid' in the process. According to Duncan, Corden had exclaimed, "What the f**k is going on here? You put a camera there, you put a camera there. It's so obvious how you shoot it. You're stupid." With the recent allegations made by Duncan, it seems that Corden's reputation may be taking another hit.

Duncan labels Corden as 'difficult and obnoxious'
TV director Duncan has recently come forward to criticize Corden, dubbing him as "the most difficult and obnoxious presenter" he has ever worked with. According to Duncan, during the filming of 'A League of Their Own', Corden "treaded all over his toes" and became confrontational with staff.
Despite the red flags, Duncan assumed that Corden was simply having a bad day and agreed to film the segment. However, the atmosphere on set was icy the following day, with tensions running high due to Corden's limited availability for filming. After being cursed at, Duncan attempted to appease the presenter by agreeing with him. Looking back on the experience, Duncan said, "I hope I never, ever work with [James] again." Duncan claimed that during rehearsals, James Corden's first problem arose when he read a joke from a cue card that he deemed as 's**t' and demanded to rewrite it. These latest accusations come after ex-Spice Girl Mel B labeled Corden as one of the "biggest d**kheads" in show business, and after Corden was banned from Balthazar last year for engaging in a similar meltdown.
Erratic behavior and controversial actions
The TV talk show host has been embroiled in a series of controversies lately, with his allegedly erratic behavior being called into question. According to Keith McNally, the owner of the famous Manhattan restaurant Balthazar, the star was banned from the establishment in October for being the "most abusive customer ever." In November, Corden found himself apologizing to fellow comedian Ricky Gervais after he 'inadvertently' used Gervais' 2018 stand-up joke on his own 'Late Late Show'. Furthermore, Corden's portrayal of a gay Broadway star in the Netflix movie 'The Prom' received intense backlash, with critics calling it 'horrifically bad.' Shockingly, the actor and comedian also faced accusations of stealing material from other comedians, including Noel Fielding.
