James Corden responds to YouTuber pretending to be him The Late Late Show with James Corden, Josh Pieters & Archie Manners – YouTubeJames Corden is hailed as one of the world\u2019s most popular late night hosts \u2014 but one YouTuber manged to trick high-profile celebs into thinking he was the TV star, which Corden reacted to in a new segment of the Late Late Show. YouTubers Josh Pieters and Archie Manners shocked the world by scoring the very first public interview with Tiger King star Carole Baskin, who believed she was on Jimmy Fallon\u2019s The Tonight Show, thanks to their crafty impersonation skills. This isn\u2019t the only impersonation they\u2019ve pulled off, either, with two also imitating James Corden by using a soundboard with audio clips taken from previous segments of the Late Late Show, successfully scoring massive interviews under the guise of a completely different person. These phony interviews didn\u2019t escape Corden\u2019s notice, who brought up the insane moment during a May 7 episode of his show, where he jokingly challenged the YouTubers\u2019 notion he could be \u201creplaced\u201d with sound bites of his own voice. \u201cI\u2019m getting this overwhelming feeling, that frankly, I\u2019m not as important to this job as I maybe thought I was,\u201d Corden admitted to his crew via their Zoom call. \u201cI just want to say this, right here, right now: I will not be replaced with sound bytes, okay?\u201d To prove his point, Corden walked off screen, as a way to show that the segment couldn\u2019t carry on without him \u2014 but capitalized on the humor of the YouTubers\u2019 skills with his own mashed-up edit of clips from the Late Late Show, which said, \u201cStick around, we\u2019ll be right back!\u201d Pieters has since reacted to Corden\u2019s response to his prank, writing in a Tweet that the other celebrities he\u2019d interviewed did, indeed, end up scoring a spot on the Late Late Show \u2014 in a way. You see guys @HollyH @mollymaehague @tommytntfury @CraigDavid I wasn’t lying when I said you were going to be on the Late Late show with @JKCorden pic.twitter.com\/PmhxXXt2cM \u2014 Josh Pieters (@joshua_pieters) May 7, 2020 That\u2019s not all: Baskin has even responded to her faked interview with Pieters, writing in a statement, \u201cI appreciate their cleverness and that they created their video in a way that I don\u2019t feel was in any way mean-spirited.\u201d Big thanks to Carole for taking our video in the spirit it was intended; I’m glad the Big Cat Public Safety Act is still getting some publicity, even if it’s not on Fallon. pic.twitter.com\/NRjK4d2aNy \u2014 Josh Pieters (@joshua_pieters) May 4, 2020 Thankfully, it seems everyone is on board with Pieters\u2019 massive prank \u2014 just one of many he\u2019s pulled off in the past, including flying out Katie Hopkins to Prague to win a completely faked award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
