James Corden (Act I)

Jonny's guest this week is none other than the man who gave the world Carpool Karaoke, took Paul McCartney back to his childhood, became the star of American late night by playing a man who fights with himself onstage, the writer and star of Gavin and Stacey, the man who'll always be a History Boy - James Corden. On his return to the London stage after a 12 year absence, James and Jonny sit down in his dressing room at the Old Vic to talk coming home, making late night tv into a 1,198 night variety show, mountaineering advice from Chris Evans, being a shy extrovert, the magic of Mathew Warchus, loving a line reading, why actors should take lessons from Formula One, how his pre-show rituals nearly capsized him, the best way he knows to handle nerves- and strap in for the terrifying description of a day at the Late Late Show up until the moment he's completely alone.
