It's really incredible what James Corden has done with that show. I thought Stephen Colbert was a shoe in to be a late night heavy weight.
My only reservation was if he could transition from playing a character to playing himself. At the time I thought it was a silly reservation, but now it seems he really is struggling to engage and entertain as himself. He often just freezes when A list guests give him softball conversation set ups. It's really weird to watch after watching an uber confident actor on the Colbert Report.
Corden on the other hand has the perfect demeanor and skills for American late night TV and apparently has an all star writing and production team.
