At least James Corden has actually achieved something on merit though...

 

To be fair to James Corden, he was brilliant in the Alan Bennett play (& TV movie) The History Boys; he was very good in Fat Friends; clearly wrote a lot of the good sketches in the first two series of the Catherine Tate show (with Ruth Jones), as series 3 when they stopped writing for her to create Gavin & Stacey was nowhere near as good.

 

Whilst the first two series of Gavin & Stacey were great ..... but like a lot of comedy series, Series 3 was definitely their Be Here Now in quality terms.

 

...... But as for co-hosting Big Brother's Big Mouth = awful after the genius that is Russell Brand; co-presented the Brit Awards; hosting the Sky One comedy/sports panel show A League of Their Own; the so called Comedy series (without anything funny in it) Horne and Corden & the ghastly film Lesbian Vampire Killers :manson:

 

Also hearing he is hosting James Corden's World Cup Live every evening during the 2010 FIFA World Cup for ITV; leaves me fearing it will be every bit as appalling compared to Skinner & Baddiel's legendary Fantasy Football franchise; as his massacre of the Tears For Fears 1985 USA#1 chart topper is.

 

When you compare that to Ruth Jones penned 2009's critically acclaimed comedy Xmas pilot showing of "A Child's Christmases in Wales", then one starts to wonder if talent wise James Corden was the Andrew Ridgeley to Ruth Jones' George Michael .....

If Dizzee gets an other number 1 with this, this will surely be some kind of record, like only one week seperating two different number 1's from the same artist :o
