And very different from his predecessor Craig Ferguson, who I personally never liked or watched very much.
Ferguson’s a snarky, much older Scot who exuded the slightly tense, irritable air of many recovering alcoholics. His ratings dropped from 2 million to 1.3 million during his ten-year tenure, so it’s the perfect time for a change. Corden is younger, fresher, indisputably far more fun, and the whole feel of the show reflects that. The set is bigger, glossier and more expensive than Ferguson’s looked. The audience, far bigger than Ferguson’s, was young, buzzy and enthusiastic. Corden’s also brought in a very good, lively house band – Ferguson didn’t have one at all That's a bit harsh by Piers Morgan isn't it? CBS never cared about Craig. |

Ferguson couldn't have been more laid back - and he was great for it

Really? His laid back conversational style naturally put their guests at ease whereas from this clip Corden seems more in your face and forced.

I'm interested to see how it will do. I'm not saying he wont grow into the role but I don't think he realises how much of his time and effort this is going to take. He's literally going to have to give everything to the audience, every joke, every idea he has, he's gonna do this 5 times a week for possibly the next year and it needs to keep going. It's not 1 hour a week.

It does sound like he's taken what makes the British chat shows so successful (both here and in the states) and then put his own twist on it (The Bar a la Chatty Man, the guests interacting with each other like Norton but adding things like the live band and comedy skits) This could really take off for him if he's given the chance

To go back to Piers, here's the probable reason he doesn't like Craig very much..
“I think what happens is, I sometimes, when I look at perhaps other people who have come in from other countries and perhaps done talk shows fairly recently on CNN — no one in particular. They come in and are very didactic and very sure about how America should be run whilst paying no taxes here, having no vote here and having no f**king history here.” http://www.broadcastingcable.com/blo...time-go/136408 |

I think CBS will give Corden a chance to develop the show even if ratings aren't too hot since he only has the Letterman lead in for seven weeks then three months of repeat lead in then Colbert debuts in September.
