James Corden dreamed a dream of doing Les Misérables in Paris, but it turned out the be a nightmare for the French people. Maybe because the people in Los Angeles, Manhattan and England know who the Late Late Show host is, they were OK with him stopping traffic. However, the Parisians were less than thrilled. Their grumpy faces say it all.
Or their faces might look like that because the musical lives up to its name as in it is miserable. I cannot be the only person who hated it? Thus, you can not blame the French for not liking that representation of them coming back to haunt them?
He would have been better off doing Jerry Lewis bits. Now that would have turned their frowns upside down.
