Stewart vs Corden

Thats what I thought as well.
Why did Patrick Stewart get involved in that situation anyway? Corden never said anything clever or witty - he's just being very obnoxious. When you have to deal with these people you just shrug your shoulders and move on. Must have been the Romulan Ale right enough.
I think our captain has had a 'snoot-full', sorry couldn't resist!
Well, Stewart probably shouldn't have mentioned it onstage, perhaps said something to Corben as an aside off-of-mic. But by the same token... and I've never even heard of this Corben dude until today... fuck that guy. NOBODY disrespect P-Stew! He should have fucking nutted that fat bastard. I hope he gets fucking killed by a deranged Trekker.
^ I think both would have emerged with a lot more dignity, had Corden responded to the initial jibe with more humour and Stewart not gone on to make the joke about the belly. It was clear by this stage that both were making tits of themselves and I say so as a huge fan of Stewart, both as an actor and a person and as someone who likes Gavin & Stacy & generally finds Corden reasonably funny.
But I do note from the youtube clip that when they moved off-mic, Stewart appeared to be trying to patch it up with Corden and the latter didn't seem to be accepting his attempts at it, just shaking his head abruptly. Perhaps he was just saying 'forget about it' but it came across as dismissive and arrogant.
If nothing else, he should have had a bit more respect for a man who's old enough to be his father or even grandfather and who clearly had had a bit too much to drink. That's before you even look at Stewart's acting credentials etc.

I guess I should've expected all the siding with Patrick Stewart on this from a Trek website, but I got to tell you (as a big Picard fan too!) I think it was Stewart that was the idiot here; James Corden handled himself quite well.
Picard had had too much to drink, and looked like he started it, but Corden could quite easily have brushed that off by playing into the joke. Instead he got uppity and made a twat of both of them.
Fatty seems to think that he's untouchable ever since G&S. FFS man, one hit! How did that sketch show go?

^ Or that vampire lesbian movie?
Patrick Stewart went wrong the minute he remarked Corden's hosting skills in front of the audience. It would have been professional to talk to him privately backstage.
I think PS was trying to make a joke, but let's face it, he's only good with jokes when somebody else has written them for him.
Croden was out of line, too.
I'm really looking forward to the follow-up interviews on this incident.

It's like the Montgomery Burns Award For Outstanding Acheivments In Excellence.
I can't believe there are people defending Corden!! Sure the joke fell a bit flat but it looked to me like it was scripted and when it all went a bit pear shape Corden took advantage and completely stitched up Sir Patrick to get some free publicity. Anyone from the UK knows full well that the popular media is dominated by Cheryl Cole at the moment and with her winning the woman of the year award at this event Cordens gig presenting the show wouldn't have merited a footnote in the papers without him manufacturing an incident.
As for Zoe, I think her comments are being taken out of context to support the media portrayal of Sir Patrick as the villain. If you watch the footage she was doing her best to be the diplomat and seemed to be complimenting Stewart by stating anything he does on stage is worth seeing.
Move along yourself and post in another topic if this one is not your cup of tea.
Isn't Corden in this weeks upcomming Doctor Who?
