Will Ferrell Destroyed The Late Late Show With James Corden Set
When James Corden was ending his late-night show on CBS, the same network as David Letterman was on, he made sure to ‘go out with a bang’, inviting some high-profile celebrities, including Adele, One Direction’s Harry Styles and Will Ferrell. Several Hollywood celebrities made guest appearances on James Corden's late-night show, but the most memorable moment came from Ferrell, who ended up smashing Corden’s furniture with a sledgehammer.
Ferrell came in after Styles with a hammer over his shoulder and got straight to destroying Corden's desk. Corden was shocked because he still needed the desk to conduct his last interviews, including with him, but managed to continue with just his chair. After destroying Corden’s furniture, Ferrell only had praise for the comedian.
“You’ve done such an amazing job coming into the late-night space, such original comedy, and to establish your place in America while coming from a s***-hole country like England, coming here and holding your own.”
When asked why he chose Styles and Ferrell to be his last-ever celebrity guests, Corden admitted he did so because he loved the two stars. "I love him (Will Ferrell), I love him and Harry is just a dear friend and there’s no way he was going to allow us to book anybody else.” \
he former One Direction member has been on Corden several times, even hosting the late show, twice and getting a tattoo on the show with the words 'Late Late.'
Will Ferrell Lost It Again On James Corden's Audience
During another Will Ferrell appearance on the Late Late Show with James Corden, the audience was over the moon to see him. So much that it got on Ferrell's nerves. The result was an incredibly awkward segment (albeit not as awkward as his Jason Mamoa/Kristen Bell piece). Not only for Corden and the audience but for Kevin Hart, who was also present.
After introducing Ferrell, Corden tried to calm the audience down as they applauded The Wedding Crashers star...
“Alright, okay. Thank you so much for being here,” The British native said as he signaled the crowd to keep quiet. However, his efforts were futile as the audience was too excited and kept shouting, which pushed Ferrell over the edge.
The Spirited star decided to quiet the crowd the best way he knew how - by shouting.
“Quiet! Quiet! We're trying to do the show!”
Corden was left speechless as Hart did his best to hold back a laugh and tried to make a joke out of his co-stars' unexpected reaction. “He gets mad.” Before telling Ferrell he should not be shouting at the audience because they were just expressing their excitement.
Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart were promoting their controversial Netflix film, Get Hard, after it faced a wave of criticism for promoting black and homosexual stereotypes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Ferrell and Hart had canceled earlier interviews before going on a press tour to defend their R-rated comedy film, including dropping by James Corden’s late-night show. When the duo appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden, there was no mention of the criticism the movie faced. Instead, the interview was full of light-hearted tales.
James Corden Reveals His Worst Celebrity Guest He's Had On His Show
James Corden has had a number of celebrities on his late night talk show but only one he described as the 'worst'. But only one was so horrible to him that it left him disappointed. While talking to Demi Moore in 2019, Corden revealed the worst celebrity guest that came to his show was Rick Ross.
Corden had created a skit that involved spoofing one of Rick Ross's songs into a joke about binge-watching. When he sent the demo to Ross's team, the rapper was excited, but after he saw it in person, he had a totally different reaction. According to Corden, Ross said he was going to the restroom but 20 minutes later he had not returned.
A member of his team then later said Ross was not going to go through with the show. Corden told Moore,
"I have to say now that I've said it out loud, I see his point. It does sound like a terrible idea, but I was very disappointed at the time."
