Did you all see James Corden’s parents visit an NFL game in the UK?

Trust me. Who would not give a hug to that lady? And his Dad is funnier than him.

You can immediately see where their son got his humor from. Fun parents.

Wonder if that offer of James’s room is good for anybody? I’d love to spend the night at their place and hang out with them.

I heard Corden on Maron’s WTF podcast. His father was a musician with the RAF band and retired. They seem like a nice family. Very religious. They were originally in the Salvation Army but left after they thought the church was getting away from it’s original purpose.
