The 'Late Late Show' host chastised 'The New York Times' for even asking him about it.

Comedian James Corden recently sat down with The New York Times to discuss his new mini-series Mammals along with his plans to leave The Late Late Show next year.

Of course, the interview was booked before the infamous Balthazar ban.


Here's a refresher:

After Corden apologized "profusely," the ban by restauranteur Keith McNally was lifted.

During the Times interview, Corden addressed the frenzy surrounding his publicized behavior, claiming it all to be "silly."

"I haven't done anything wrong, on any level. So why would I ever cancel [the interview]?"
"I was there. I get it."
"I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it's so silly."
"I just think it's beneath all of us. It's beneath you. It's certainly beneath your publication."

According to the Times, during the interview - which took place at a restaurant - a woman within earshot coincidently complained about the eggs she ordered.

Corden commented:

"Can you imagine now, if we just blasted her on Twitter? Would that be fair?"
"That is my point. It's insane."

Of course, Corden was referring to the incident at Balthazar in which Corden yelled at a server because "a bit of egg white" was mixed into his wife's egg yolk omelette.

Twitter wasn't nearly as dismissive of the incident.











Corden shared that he wan't really aware of the media frenzy surrounding the restaurant ban.

"I haven't really read anything."
"It's strange. It's strange when you were there."
"I think I'm probably going to have to talk about it on Monday's show."
"My feeling, often, is never explain, never complain."
"But I'll probably have to talk about it."

Let's hope he not only addresses the incident but also realizes the effect that harsh words can have on others.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
