So I thought I'd check a British paper to see the reaction over there...The Daily Mail came up first. WTF? Hundreds of people posting there hate Corden...or McCartney...or everything, it seems. Well, I watched it a dozen times and thought it was great....

I enjoyed that a lot. Macca comes across very well in this video. A very grounded individual despite all his wealth and fame. I believe he still visits Liverpool regularly with brother Mike living locally in the Wirral.
The only Stone I can ever imagine taking part in a programme like this is Ronnie.
Mick’s far too guarded, Keith couldn’t be bothered with trivia like this, and ditto Charlie, with the added complication that he doesn’t drive.

When I visited there, I met several locals who told stories of how he returns annually to personally hand out diplomas at the high school he attended. Also legendary New Years Eve parties he still hosts in a nearby home he still owns.
Good on Paul!

Wow, that was extraordinary! Something Mick would never dream of doing.

I have only seen overwhelmingly positive reviews from people here in the states. Literally a number of places saying people were in tears watching.
I think he would. Mick was great on saturday night live.Quote

Mick's amazing but it wouldn't be the same. Paul has this weird kind of grandma like energy about him. Mick obviously has energy for an old man, but it seems more standoffish. He would be good, but he wouldn't be Paul, who seems to relish getting this "man of the people" image he exerts here. And it works for him and I don't think its fake. But I personally don't think Mick could top it.

Great point about Mick on SNL. The last time was f-ing epic! The others were great too. Maybe he just can't pull the heart strings like Paul? Anyhow, they're both great at what they do.

For what it's worth, this James Corden guy is a very nice and funny imo, and can't understand why anyone would have anything against him. I went to a taping of his Late Late show a couple of years ago (the Charlatans (UK) were musical guests), and it was a very fun and memorable expereince - I even made it on the tv as an audience member when it aired! While I watch when I can, the fact that it airs quite late past my bedtime at 12:30 AM ha, I don't get to see it as often as I would like. I predict he will eventually be given an 11:30 pm spot as he'd give the rest of them a run for their money - especially dorky Jimmy Fallon.

Strange. Two friends to whom I (separately) sent the link to the feature responded that they dislike Corden immensely (but that the clip was great anyway). I have no views as I've rarely seen anything he has done.
The clip is up on YouTube where (about 4 hours ago) it had had 15M views, on top of the then 65M views on Facebook.

I don't know where your friends live, but as PaleRider posted above from the Daily Mail (a UK rag) "Hundreds of people posting there hate Corden..."...so maybe it's a UK thing?
As far as I know, here in the States he's immensely popular even hosting the Grammy's the last two years. He's a pudgy funny British guy - what's not to like?

I'm a cynic so I assume most or all of it was staged. The barber photo happens to be in the shop that they walk into? I mean I guess cause its Penny Lane but still...

"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" sounds like John's attempt to imitate Santana and other jam bands that were around at the time.

It's very much a thing in UK to hate/dislike/knock down those that have done well.
People tend to love things when they are on their way to success, but have an odd reaction when they actually achieve it.
Massive generalisation, but it is a recurring thing, especially in the press.
