As another person has stated here, a lot of these poor reviews were written not long after the shows debut. It is unfair to judge the show early as every program has teething problems in the beginning, imagine judging Seinfeld on its pilot.
After over six months on air the show and James have really come into their own, he isn't Craig Ferguson and he doesn't want to be. James Corden's fast wit, gentle humour and unique style breathe a fresh air into the stale, formulaic landscape of late night television. With extremely popular segments like Carpool Karaoke and Role Call which have been a hit online as well as on air James is starting to build a large fan base and with good reason. At 12:30 in the morning it's a relief to be able to forget about whatever dead end job you are stuck in or whatever terrible story you saw on the news and enjoy an extremely talented presenter and performer doing what he enjoys, making you forget about life for a while and maybe going to sleep with a smile on your face.
