James Corden taking on ‘Hot Ones’ is certainly a thing you can watch

James Corden has been making headlines a lot over the past few weeks, and not because he has a new show coming out.

The story about him being rude to a server at New York’s Balthazar restaurant snowballed in late October after owner Keith McNally made it public on Instagram, eventually prompting an apology from Corden and a response on The Late Late Show.

The whole thing has clearly overshadowed the arrival of Corden’s new Prime Video show Mammals, but he’s continuing on the publicity run regardless.

In the video above he appears on First We Feast’s Hot Ones, taking on a series of increasingly spicy wings while talking about Carpool Karaoke and late night TV.

As Corden puts it at one point while looking at a bottle of Karma Sauce’s “Cosmic Bliss”: “Karma Sauce? So does that mean it’s karma for things that my mouth may have done in the past?”
