In his conversation with the hosts of The Talk, he revealed the names of his bands, which were Full Frontal and Insatiable, two different bands that he has his good laugh at.Corden’s ascent to success was slow, but sure. Gifted with flair to entertain, he made an entry into the mad world of showbiz in 1999 with the series, “Boyz Unlimited.” He, later on, appeared in some other shows, though his roles weren’t of massive gravity.

He made a cordial alliance with co-stars Ruth Jones, a friendship that was to reap great fruit shortly. Fat Friends achieved success and James was nominated for a prominent award in London. After a few stage performances, James’s most successful project materialized in the form of “Gavin and Stacey,” a BBC Three sitcom which he co-wrote with Ruth Jones, his Fat Friends’ co-star. The show came out in 2007, with Corden also acting in it, and soon rose to popularity, garnering appreciation from viewers and critics alike.

James shifted to Los Angeles from the U.K due to his chat show. He feels incredibly indebted and thankful to his wife, Julia, who moved with him to an entirely new country ten weeks after childbirth. Despite his stay away from home, he continues to be a proud Briton, going home with his family for holidays. His singular concern is his children, who he fears might not inculcate the English traditions dueto their childhood away from their roots, though his wife and he himself try their best to keep their grooming as much English as possible.

In June 2015, James was honored with the Order of the British Empire (OBE), the second highest civilian award, rewarding individual’s contributions to arts and science. James was endowed with this honor for his contribution to Drama, by Princess Anne. His wife accompanied him to the event. In 2016, he presented the Tony Awards, which he says was “nerve wrecking,” as against being nominated and winning a Tony Award. James continues to plume himself with further ventures in what he loves to do. His autobiography, “May I Have Your Attention, Please?: An Autobiography” got published in 2011, ISBN 978-1846059353.
