James Corden Being Critized As The 'Most Difficult And Obnoxious Presenter' By His Co-worker, Here's What Happened

James Corden has been criticized as the "most difficult and obnoxious presenter" he has ever worked with by a TV director, who claims the English comedian yelled and swore at staff members on a well-known British game show.
Craig Duncan, who oversaw Corden, 44, during an episode of A League of Their Own, a show that included the host of The Late Late Show as a presenter from 2015 to 2019, made the remarks.

Duncan, a seasoned filmmaker with over 60 titles to his name, detailed how Corden criticized his lens work and even called him "dumb" in his YouTube recollection of his interaction with the actor.
"What the f**k is going on here?" During the 2013 season of the show's production, Corden allegedly questioned the director and other crew members. "You put a camera there, you put a camera there. It's so obvious how you shoot it. You're stupid."
The claim was made in a video posted to Duncan's YouTube channel this week, in which he claimed the show's host—who ex-Spice Girl Mel B recently dubbed as one of the "biggest d**kheads" in entertainment—had a meltdown that was eerily similar to the one that led to his expulsion from Balthazar late last year.

The most difficult and obnoxious presenter I have ever worked with was James Corden. I was asked by his production company would I be willing to direct a challenge that was gonna be part of their A League of Their Own show. It was season seven, episode three. And I'll never forget it."' Duncan began by saying.

Duncan continued by describing how Corden grew combative with the crew after being "treaded all over his toes" during filming. "We were working it out, when old bugger-lugs pipes up, 'What the f**k is going on here?"
An experienced member of the TV industry, Duncan said how he once more disregarded the red flags, believing Corden was just having a terrible day and not cause for alarm.
Duncan consented to record the part, but he later recounted how he arrived for filming the following day and encountered a chilly environment. He claimed that because Corden was only available to film for a short period of time, there was tension.
The former English footballer Jamie Redknapp and comedian Jack Whitehall, Corden's co-stars at the time, were all pleasant, Duncan said. Nevertheless, he claimed he sensed a "creeping feeling of nervousness" on the set as everyone began "clock-watching."
After being shouted at, Craig said he made an appeasement attempt by telling the presenter that he was "totally correct" to calm his escalating rage.

Filming had been going "very well" up until the final few minutes, which, according to him, took 45 minutes anyhow because Corden was late to the studio. He continued by saying that calling the camera crew was the "best thing to do."
He asserted that without Corden, the scenario would have been completed quickly, with no problems, and the winner of the culinary competition would have been announced.
"I hope I never, ever work with James again" He said
