James Corden.

[Thecat23]

James Corden just tweeted a video of when we sang SOL after our Scottish Cup victory. This is what he put...

This is beautiful. Just beautiful. Sunshine on Leith sung by 50000 wonderful people. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LeHkQY… x

Decent bit of free publicity !

Best song and day ever !

[danhibees1875]

Very sporting of The rangers fans to have lost graciously and join in with SoL before heading home incident free.

Always nice to see SoL get wider recognition though, fabulous song and I'll never tire of listening to that or the 2007 renditions from the fans.

I had a dream before the final that we'd won and I recorded the rendition and released it as a charity single and it got to #1. :greengrin

[Brummie_Hibs]

Aye, but he's still a c0ck!

[IGRIGI]

50k? With the Seville calculator out we'll be hitting 1 million in no time :greengrin

[SHODAN]

It's a shame James Corden is the least funny person who has ever existed.

[col02]

Was played on the Ken Bruce show a couple weeks ago. Unlike Chris Evans he waited until the song was finished before proclaiming it one of the best football anthems out there! The one at the league Cup final takes some beating imho.

No,that honour falls to Keith Lemon.

588K views at the moment, with that many followers it will be interesting to see how many views it gets over the next few days.

Good lad James Cordon for tweeting it, does that make him an adopted Hibby? Lennox Lewis too

I'll translate that for everyone.

He's a hugely successful entertainer whom I have never met and of whom I am very jealous.

I don’t get the hate for James Corden. He’s a normal guy living the dream. I bet he’d be great company on a night out.

I used to find him annoying but I’ve seen him in a different light now.

I thought it was Michael McIntyre

[hibsbollah]

I blow hot and cold with Cordon. Ooer missus etc etc. Gavin and Stacy good, sycophantic love in with yon Gary Barlow, not so good. Tweeting about hibs fans singing SOL puts him in my good books again.

In fact, there's a very funny sketch from his American chat show that's doing the rounds on Facebook, a 50 shades of grey pastiche involving a homoerotic train set. Hard not to laugh.

[edinburghhibee]

James cordon on league of their own with Freddie flintoff , jack Whitehall and Jamie rednapp is a brilliant game show and very funny even the misses loves it

I was going to rip into James for not being funny. And someone mentioned Jack Whitehall.. Holy Christmas, I’ve seen funnier pan handlers.

I proper can't stand Jack Whitehall as well. His success is astonishing/depressing.

For a lot of folk there’s something Marmitish about James Cordon. Personally I quite like him.

Can't stand him myself although Gavin and Stacey was half decent. He's done a bit to redeem himself to me with this though, which i'm sure he's really chuffed about.

[Carheenlea]

Have never seen Gavin and Stacy and while I've heard of James Corden I wouldnt know anything he does.
If he likes the video then he must be alright, plus, that video was filmed by my Dad, but despite standing right next to him he decided to record the moment for posterity without bothering to include his son in the footage.:grr:

[SuperAllyMcleod]

I used to find him annoying but I’ve seen him in a different light now.

Top bloke

I went the other way, I quite liked him when he was acting but now that he’s doing chat shows and the (god awful) League of their Own I can’t bear him. Don’t get me started on those adverts!

That said, I totally agreed with Smithy’s (Gavin and Stacey) attitude to ordering takeaway food [emoji4]

[Pretty Boy]

Gavin & Stacy - like
Chat shows/car show thing etc - dislike
Insincere scripted reaction to Manchester attack - dislike
Sharing SOL video - like

I can take or leave Corden. He seems a bit of an OTT loudmouth at times but a lot of that seems a character he is playing.

[guthrie01]

I don’t get the hate for James Corden. He’s a normal guy living the dream. I bet he’d be great company on a night out.

I'd rather top myself than spend even an hour with Corden, nice tweet by him though

[007]

Any chat from Hearts fans about this or are they too busy discussing Cicero's post on MySpace about their rendition of the Hearts song after their 1-0 win over Elgin in the League Cup group stage?

[JeMeSouviens]

Although he is responsible for some *****, carpool karaoke with Stevie Wonder is brilliant.

[worcesterhibby]

I thought it was Michael McIntyre

It is

[worcesterhibby]

The thing I like about Corden is that 90% of his humour/character is about enthusiasm. He seems to have a joy for life. Sometimes being British and being enthusiastic can be a tough road, we tend to far prefer world weary cynicism. As a nation we are generally far more at home slagging stuff off and being outraged than we are at being enthusiastic and celebrating success. Maybe that's no bad thing, but it can get a bit wearisome.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "The Wrong Mans" which I thought was a brilliant series.

Anyway, he's focused his enthusiasm on us...which is nice. cheers.

[Sammy7nil]

To be fair MM is quite funny until he speaks

That’s my take on him too. I saw him winding up miserable, arrogant Hun Gordon Ramsay, albeit a decent chef, on a car journey and I warmed to him.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

That seems a tad excessive?

I don't mind him. Gavin & Stacey was excellent and I quite like ALOTO. Not really seen any of his US stuff but seems to be a big player over there so good luck to him

[.Sean.]

And the writer of one of the best comedy series ever, Gavin and Stacey
Correct. Must know every episode word for word but they ever get old. Quite like League of their own too.

He's a sound **** as far as I'm concerned

[Heisenberg]

Yeah I don’t get some of the hate for Corden. I think he’s ok tbh.

[McSwanky]

I'd rather top myself than spend even an hour with Corden, nice tweet by him though

Bit over the top there!

[easty]

I'm not a fan of his at all, but fair play to him for this.

Also saw him doing a singing thing with the boys from Stranger Things which was pretty good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64iZmkaoueI

[SirDavidsNapper]

Did he go to the same school as Benji?

[Iggy Pope]

I loved Gavin & Stacey and Fat Friends.
Then just last night I was thinking about what an insufferable knob he is on those car insurance adverts
Then I read this and I like him and Gavin and Stacey again. And his Fat Friends. He's brill.

Michael McIntyre? I'd rather stick pins into my boaby than listen to him.

[Crazyhorse]

The question was regarding journalists.

Boom boom!

[Lago]

It's a shame James Corden is the least funny person who has ever existed.
No he's not.

[jonty]

Didn't really take to Corden pre his spat with Patrick Stewart and thought even less of him afterwards.
Fair enough, he's done well for himself. At least he has some taste.

[Bristolhibby]

I proper can't stand Jack Whitehall as well. His success is astonishing/depressing.

Fresh Meat was brilliantly funny though.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Oh Jamesey Corden,
Used to be annoying but he's alright now
:flag:

[murray26]

He’s obviously a man of good taste so far that reason I like him..

[ekhibee]

I proper can't stand Jack Whitehall as well. His success is astonishing/depressing.
The 2 I really can't stand are Whitehall and Josh Widdicombe who seems to be on everything his agent can get a slot for, and his voice annoys the **** out of me as well as his very limited comedic ability. Whitehall just comes across as a spoilt little rich boy, and I've never laughed at anything he's said ever. McIntyre's actually worse than both of them though. Corden's not bad at all in comparison to those 3, and I loved Gavin and Stacey.

[blackpoolhibs]

Cordon is someone who's made a success of his life, well done him. Not seen much of what he's done, never seen Gavin and Stacey, but seen a little of his american stuff.

Nobody forces you to watch him, and nobody would make anyone spend an hour in his company, so anyone thinking of shooting themselves has just been given a reprieve.

Well done James for giving our club some free publicity, in fact some free huge publicity. :top marks

Agreed. Corden is a normal bloke that’s done well. Amazed how het up by people’s success some folk get. At least he is actually a talented script writer etc, unlike some of the so called “celebrities” on tv these days.

Never been a fan of James Cordon ... until now! :-) He's clearly a man of impeccable taste.

Whats not to like. Free advertising/publicity. Millions of viewers.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

What a day of contrasts

Hibs have a fantastic video, showing our fans celebrating and singing a cup final win, shared by one of the worlds most famous tv presenters

Hearts have to issue a statement apologising to a former player for the racist abuse he received from his own supporters.

[weecounty hibby]

Regardless of comedic/acting/hosting abilities this man has given us free PR and advertising to 10,000,000 million people. Think about that for a minute. 10,000,000 people, free, positive PR. On a day when the jumbos are having to apologise to an ex player regarding racial abuse from his own fans. 10,000,000 people, or hearts average attendance since they reopened the new PBS home for racist bigots, have seen Hibs in a positive light because of Corden. Thanks James and keep up the good work

[Wilson]

Well I didn't like Gavin and Stacey. I think the whole bro-mange shtick on League if their Own got very old very quickly. I just don't get the stuff he does or understand why anyone would waste their time watching it.

I don't hate him but his stuff isn't for me.

Marmite is a good comparison.

Yip, and on the flip side some Hibs fans take the opportunity to rip him to bits. Some attention seekers are never happy unless they are complaining about someone or some thing.

His Carpool Kareoke with Michelle Obama was a sensation in the USA. He is very popular there, and that is his current audience.

He's the unfunniest person being paid to make us laugh I've ever seen.

The Hibs marketing team should be jumping on this and sending him the home and away tops and tickets for a match. Even if 1% of his followers took an interest in us it would be a huge number of potential new 'fans'.

Unfortunately I don't think any club in Scotland can afford to take racism lightly.

I was at Hampden with my dad, and like all of us have watched many a SoL video.

It was my dad's funeral on Wednesday, and we had arranged to have SoL played as we left Warriston.

So when I looked on twitter that morning and saw that Corden tweeted this video, it felt kind of good, apt and timely somehow.

I can't disagree with his sentiment, it was and always will be beautiful.
