James Corden is he as sweet and gentle as he seems on TV? There’s at least one guy who doesn’t think so. His name is Keith McNally, and he owns a restaurant called Balthazar in New York City. And yesterday, he posted on Instagram that he’s BANNING Corden because he’s, quote, “a tiny cretin of a man” and “the most abusive customer to my servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.” No word yet from Corden.. if he’s so bad, why did it take 25 years.

See if Kenny Chesney’s here and not at the beach.” The crowd cheered after each name. But when he said Maren Morris’ name they started booing.
