James Corden won critical acclaim for his performance in One Man, Two Govnors on Braodway, so I guess at least some Americans will be familiar with him.

I've been back a year and I still don't know who anyone is. Everyone seems to expect me to know, even though they know I was gone for 22 years.

Have you met the queen again, since you got back?

Victoria ? Is she still on the throne ?

I'm disappointed, surely you all know James Cordon as one of the slowest stars in a reasonably priced car.

Why would replacing one "Brit" with another suggest that they were "taking over"?

From each other?

My friends back in the UK have never heard of Craig ferguson , don't know about the other one, I guess they wouldn't be coming over here to work if they were sucsessfull in the UK , I think ferguson is funnier than all the late late night ones he's a great writer too , he just swears too much in his stand up acts too , having to swear is a bit old fashioned now, over here anyhow .

... on the other hand, not being allowed to say "****" on broadcast television is just f**king ridiculous ...

Swearing on TV isn't shocking anymore, comedians have made it big without having to swear ...Jerry Seinfeld just for one.

Well the FCC still appears to believe that there are words that may not be said on broadcast television or radio ...

The UK got over this almost 50 years ago which is why it "isn't shocking anymore" but the US just hasn't quite grown up yet.
