Swapping Piers Morgan for James Corden 'like act of violence', says America

Not sure what James Corden's show is like, although I must admit to not being a fan of his. Can't possibly be more annoying then Piers Morgan though can it?

AMERICANS have begged England to stop sending them smug, fat-faced English television presenters.

Viewers who had returned to their televisions after Piers Morgan was sacked, say James Corden’s late-night chat show is like being shot in the leg.

Wayne Hayes, of Phoenix, Arizona, said: “The wobbling jowls, the crooked teeth, that indefinable but repugnant smugness. I dared to believe it was over.

“They told us Morgan was loved in his native land, which turned out to be an exact inversion of the truth, and now you’re doing it again?

Watched The Wrong Mans on Hulu and he was very funny.

Thing is Piers Morgan a shit journalist who turned out to be shit as a serious-type interviewer. Cordon is an actor and writer who will be hosting a variety program. Two different animals.

Also, The Daily Mash is a satire site.

I get it, he's much beloved in the UK...but there's some RW fundy dipshits I'd like to see drop dead of shock and horror. If not Norton, I think Eddie Izzard would make a fantastic late-night host.

Nothing against Corden, he's funny but he just doesn't have that same "piss off middle America" quality to him.
