As I'm about to be nasty to James Corden in this article, I thought it a good idea to stick a picture up of him with one of his many awards to show me who the real idiot is.
So.
Idiot tub-jape James Corden is to front a show that's They Think It's All Over, only repackaged and tarted up with different guests and on a different channel. Yep, Sky1/HD has announced details of its 'brand new comedy panel show' A League Of Their Own.
Team captains are Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff and regular guests are Sky Sports News Georgie Thompson and comic John Bishop.
Corden, resisting the urge to whip his top up and shout "WHHOOAARGH! LOOK AT ME! I'M A FAT MAN!" said: “I'm thrilled to be hosting A League Of Their Own and can't wait to start. I’ve never hosted a show like this before and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve come to the conclusion that as I spend most of my time sitting around with my mates talking about sport, I might as well get paid for it.”
On the team captains James comments; “We’ve got two brilliant team captains in Andrew Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp, so the banter is going to be great.”
A League of Their Own takes its cue from sporting obsession and sets two teams of comedians, celebrities and sports stars against each other in a test of their sporting knowledge. From record breaking feats to headline grabbing events, the show is stuffed with the kind of sensational take home facts that sports fans just love to quote.
The show tackles questions like - which footballers spent the most on their weddings and can you arrange David James’ haircuts in chronological order? Or what does Rio Ferdinand think are the three worst things about being a Premiership footballer.
Other guests due to appear throughout the series will come from the worlds of sport, comedy and entertainment and will include tennis lover Jimmy Carr, Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman, boxer Amir Khan, Mock The Week host Dara O'Briain and reigning Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button.
And it will just be like going back in time to the Nineties.

James Corden is a complete idiot and has clearly chosen his career path wrongly.John Brassey
Like Anon84 I went to Pinewood for the recording. I watched two shows and they were both extremely funny. The only problem will be for the editors to cut them down to the half hour (even less after ads)slot. James Corden is a great host - very quick, very professional and very able. OK it's not original to have two teams of three in a panel show about sport (I don't think anybody has claimed that it is) but if it makes the viewers laugh (and I think it will) what's the problem?Anon84
I went to see this being filmed last night and it was brilliant! James Corden really comes into his own in a hosting role, and the guests were really funny. So don't judge it till you've actually seen it.Post new comment
