James Corden is best known as a talk show host—hosting The Late Late Show—but he’s starred in nearly every musical in recent years. Sometimes he is successful, as in Into The Woods, but other times his acting performance can count on lower acclaim. For example, Vanity Fair called his role in “Prom” an “insult” and the musical “Cats” was a failure across the board. rumors circulating Corden is not quite as empathetic as he presents himself. “Believe me: James Corden is an idiot,” one of them opened up on social media. “You’ll never meet a good comedian who doesn’t mean deep down, which is almost essential if you want to make fun of others. James wants to present himself as a nice person for the family, but nothing could be further from the truth.”

Just to be clear, Corden has not been selected for Wicked at all at the moment.
