There were many artists who refused to take it because of that xD

Then why did he accept it?

+Matthew Pearce Because his Mum and Dad all lawve it.

Because the fact that you THINK that somebody deserves it more does not mean you do not deserve it, period. Oscar winners all accept their statues even though they personally think that another nominee was better in his respective movie.

Tell that to Adele

Medals for what....???,,,,

Bless you. I'm in social services over here in the US. Very threatened at present. I just smacked my knee and exclaimed "thank you!" When he said that.

+M Reedyr really?? don't get me wrong he occasionally makes me laugh, he's inoffensive and I like the karaoke stuff he does but from his laugh (which he acquired from Gervais) down to his 'social conscience' he's a study in insincerity

+Tom Wilko is the first person I have ever heard suggest James Cordon stole Ricky Gervais' laugh or has an insincere social conscience. I wasn't even aware he was famous for his social conscience. Don't get me wrong, M Reedyr's chat is hyperbole but you really met fire with fire.

+Tom Wilko Yes!!! He always acts like this on other people's shows but like a nob to other (normal) people on his show...

An ironic comment from someone who has the Vulcan insignia as their profile pic :-D

Are you trying to say that 3:05 is a genuine reaction?

Ok lol

agreed

He was not always humble. Back here in the UK around 6/7 years a go he fell out with his comedy partner after he accused James of being arrogant and big headed. Their friendship ended. He now feels very sorry about that and agreed he was arrogant.

Like many English people are. they are very sensetive and can be very humble. Love them most of the time))

cookieaddictions You obviously are a sucker

cookieaddictions that’s because he’s English

Asshole*

***** Correction also happens, what's your point. If you want to be a prick to someone who gives a lot to charity and makes millions of people laugh every day, then you should also take insults from others. Don't need people like you on this planet.

It wasn't for charity it was for his services in Drama.

I didn't say that was the reason he got the medal

JD21 Well you made it seem like that's why he got the medal.

That wasn't my impression. All he said was what he said. No mention of a medal.

connor etchells, no... that is the difference between infer and imply, you INFERRED he mean that, his implication was completely different.

Genuine!! hahahha good one!

+Bakorafanboy13 It's also in Skyrim! :D

+Mark Lumsley You need some Skooma!

+Bakorafanboy13 its what friar tuck used too brew

+Mark Lumsley Thats how i know it as well...

+Bakorafanboy13 Thanks

I like Corden, but it's not like Craig Ferguson was a horrible host. I wouldn't say he made the late late show a BILLION times better. He made his own show which is great, but what Ferguson did was also great for different reasons. Corden is a good host, Craig Ferguson was a one in a million late night host. There's never been anyone that's done the job quite like him.

Ferguson is a better comedian than Corden, Corden is a way better showman. I think Corden has done a fantastic job with making it his own show. I watch both and I miss Ferguson's monologue's and camera work.

I agree. I liked Ferguson. But he was kind of a one hit wonder. I got so sick of him drooling over every woman like he'd never had sex before. Corden just classed things up and is a much better fit.

Sira Mea Yes, he very conveniently left that important piece of information out.

Not!

+Shannon G SAME HERE! lol! He's just so sweet and funny!

I do, too.

He's the best!

He's so so so nice to his fans too! It's crazy. I've never met a celeb as sweet as him!

+Shannon G Me too! He's so cute and seems like such a nice man.

*Corden. You gotta get the surname right.

oops

Sad Gotham City

Nahla Anwer its corden

The Police Commissioner from Batman? I suppose he's quite humble, I guess I never really thought about it.

+I Stole This Computer why?

+AP12 I was thinking that too, officer and order seem to be really different!

+The Doctor What happened to the Rather Average Order of the British Empire?

Okay well technically the O in OBE is Officer, the Order of the British Empire is like the main thing but there's multiple scales to it like GBE, KBE/DBE(Knight/Dame), CBE(Commander), OBE(Officer) and MBE (Member)

+AP12 actually no the order is the overall thing he has an OBE which means officer of the british empire there are different levels to it you see. including CBE, and MBE among much higher levels.

+AP12 Knight Commander or Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE or DBE) Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE)

Maroon looks magnificent of him.

It looks ridiculous.

+UnbelievablyGauche Lighten up.

+UnbelievablyGauche Hardly. James has done a lot

+UnbelievablyGauche He got it for charity work he's been doing, so why bashing him?

+UnbelievablyGauche The Queen has nothing to do with who receives an honour.

+UnbelievablyGauche He was being modest. Corden has done a ton of charity work.

Oh no they don't!

+Miss Ion It's his long lost British Twin.

+HiddenWen way funnier British twin

+b You got it mixed up, Andy Richter is James Cordens MUCH funnier American twin

+b andy richter is the way funnier American twin

+Vincent Biello SHAD UPPPP

Yes, the short fat closeted gay guys are real turn-ons.

+PaddySnuffles if you really dont want to they dont force you. but you need to push pretty hard.

+simon amorim I swear allegiance to the queen every day over stilton scented candles, what's the big deal here?

+PaddySnuffles Well she is their head of state so it's not that weird when you think about it.

+PaddySnuffles If you're born in Canada, you get to swear at her.

***** Actually, at least in Canada, if the queen's representative were to say no to a government decision the decision would not be able to pass. It's rarely ever used, but technically "nothing can happen without her say-so", as Rick Mercer once put it. It's (in theory) used as a way to make sure the government doesn't abuse its power. Sometimes it works wonderfully, such as the time mentioned below, and other times, like with "criticizing the Israeli government in any way is now considered hate speech" bullshit, you're left sitting there and looking around going "...Hello? Power check? Anyone?" There was a time not too long ago where the conservatives wanted to call for another election because they had gotten a minority government, but now would likely win a majority, and , the queen's representative was like "Oh Hell to the no! You're not gonna waste taxpayer money like that. That's abusing your power. You'll have to wait til you lose the confidence of the queen just like everyone else. _Behave_.". And they couldn't call for a vote. All that beng said, I do love having a queen and I love that political safeguard, even if it doesn't always work; I just don't think it's fair that it's required for immigrants to swear allegiance if Canadian-born folk don't have to.

+Things and things Ride the rocket! ;)

+Things and things lool of all things i didnt expect a toronto reference

He wasn't always humble. He was a right bastard about ten years ago, which caused the ending of his comedy partnership and caused a lot of bad blood. He acknowledged this, but it seems his friendship with Mathew Horne will never be back on track again.

Do you have to be English to get those kinds of things? Ewan McGregor is Scottish and he has one. But yea I heard some people say Norton can't have one because he's not from England. Some say because he's gay

I seee

From what I know is, he got the medal for acting, not for hosting. He brought a successful play in West end to Broadway and won a tony. That's why he got it..

The day that Graham Norton gets an OBE will be a grim day indeed.

donna jackson why?

+The Cricket Nerd Well, there never existed more than one British Empire, so indeed "Officer of a British Empire" doesn't exist.

PaddySnuffles I can't tell if you're kidding or if you've read my sentence wrong.
