Talk show host gets into hot water over jokes made at Hollywood charity gala

James Corden has come under fire for cracking jokes about Harvey Weinstein and telling people who don’t like them they “should probably leave”.

The Late Late Show star was hosting an AMFAR charity gala in front of stars including Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks in Los Angeles when he said: “It’s a beautiful night here in LA. So beautiful, Harvey Weinstein has already asked tonight up to his hotel to give him a massage.” 0 James Corden told those who didn’t like the gags to ‘leave’

In footage of the monologue posted on Twitter, it can be heard that the gag received a mixed reaction.

Corden responded by telling the audience: “I don’t know whether that groan was because you like that joke or you don’t like that joke.

“If you don’t like that joke, you should probably leave now.”

He continued: “It has been weird this week though, watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.

“Ask any of the women who watched him take a bath, it’s weird watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.”

The jokes were widely condemned on social media.
