Call me a rock dweller but, did I miss something? Why are 'murricans so smitten for this fat wanker?

He was my least favorite part of Gavin & Stacy even then. He is genuinely unfunny.
Americans love sloppy seconds.
As an American I couldn't tell you the appeal with this dude, he probably got his own talk-show through trickery
see John Oliver

Half of americas population consists of gay cucks and insane feminists who wants the white race to die out. They controll the media, and don't accept anyone who differs from their insane ideology, and people who do agree gets hailed as heroes, and the more insane shit you spew out, the more they love you. That's why he's popular there.
That's at least how I understand it, thanks to /tv/.

Honestly, it's probably when he starred in Doctor Who a couple of times because the BBC has like four actors to choose from, at the time when DW was massive in the US.

You assume that we have free will.
We watch what Hollywood instructs us to.

He's a cock who got lucky very funny is he
>>79006085
I want Craig Ferguson back.
He built up a pretty solid resume. Writing successful sitcoms, hosting a comedy panel show for years and a tonne of awards shows. He showed he could handle a big gig and and a live audience as well as write all he had to do was get a decent agent and the right opportunity.

Which just raises the question of how John Oliver, best known in the UK for appearing on Mock the Week every now and then and being largely unmemorable, managed to get a prime time talk show in America.
>>79006646
He worked on the Daily Show for a few years until he guest hosted for a while and then he got his own show. Makes sense as a progression I guess.
>>79006456
HE's coming back

He's effeminate and nonthreating. CBS undoubtedly had no desire to hire a minority or a woman. Any American white male who wanted to do this show was probably a no name as well. How do you fix this problem? Hire a noname foreigner and market him as brand new.
All of these "comedians" went to the same school anon.
David Mitchell, Richard Ayoade, John Oliver were all school friends.

Fuck, I hated Gayvin and Stacy so fucking much, you Americans are so fucking stupid, for giving exposure to this fucking hack, fuck you.
>>79009499
I've seriously never heard of this man until this thread.
>>79009554
How can you not, he's been in my country's news several times, normalfags think that shit he does in car with singers and actors is amusing, fuck you for plaguing the world with this idiot, it's like you americans are trolling the world with your antics, no one's laughing.
>>79006085
>did I miss something?
I'm just as baffled as you, this prick came out of nowhere and he's endlessly annoying.
>accent that americans perceive as smart/funny
>cheap labor
instead of having an established solid career, they can hire these slobs. they needed someone to fill their repetitive programming. he's also effeminate and non threatening

richard ayoade is genuinely funny though

Honestly thought he was pretty good on community
>>79007941
Is this as abad as it looks? Gavin & Stacy and that awful sketch show they made was enough for me to never want anything to do with Horne and Corden again.
>>79006085
CBS fucked over Craig and when Craig left CBS thought that they'd try again getting someone from the UK and so they went with that faggot because he also wanted to do musical shit like Fallon does.
>>79010571
It's fucking terrible. Horne has no charisma and Corden's just a goofy fat man.
The only credit I can really give to Corden is that he didn't write himself as the main character in Gavin and Stacey, even though his performance was far better than most (although Rob Bryden still carries the show).
