Scathing audience reviews say he 'barely interacts with fans unless cameras are rolling'
A video has resurfaced of James Corden struggling to name a single cameraman from his own show in 2017.
The British funnyman, who has come under scrutiny following revelations that he was rude to staff at a Manhattan restaurant, spoke to Jimmy Kimmel for a segment called Spill Your Guts.
It consisted of Kimmel asking Corden questions and then eating or drinking unappetizing dishes if he failed to answer.
"Name two of the cameramen in this room," Kimmel asked in one portion.
"That is a great question," giggled Corden, before replying that it was a "different crew tonight, actually" and reaching for a fish smoothie.

The video resurfaced on social media on Tuesday after Corden was shamed publicly for berating staff at Balthazar.
Restaurant owner Keith McNally took to Instagram to announce he'd banned the comedian - describing him as the "most abusive customer in 25 years".
Corden later phoned him up to "profusely" apologise for his actions and has since been invited back to dine at the restaurant.
But that hasn't stopped people posting other instances of The Late Late Show host being rude.
TripAdvisor reviews from audience members of the show paint a grim picture of Corden, with some saying he acts like they are not even there when the cameras aren't rolling.
One fan who attended a taping of the show in September 2019 said: "I always felt that James Corden was a people person, yet at the show felt different. Hardly any audience interaction.
"James appeared on stage and once done he left. Did not greet or thank the fans which I was shocked [at]."
And another said: "James doesn't really interact with the audience, in fact he didn't even wave, acknowledge or thank us when leaving the studio which I thought was a bit unnecessary.
"He is clearly there to get his job done and get out."
