One reason this minor controversy about Corden took off is that on television, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would humiliate a waiter over an egg. More like a guy who would make a bad pun about eggs to be endearing.

Likability has always been important in talk-show hosts, but balanced by other virtues like creativity, funniness, political or even journalistic insight, the ability to connect emotionally. Johnny Carson was far too remote to be considered relatable, and David Letterman developed a reputation for meanness that, whether earned or not, was part of his appeal to some fans. Even Craig Ferguson, Corden’s predecessor, relied on a certain roguish charm. The more politically minded hosts like John Oliver or Meyers would not be helped by a scandal over yelling at a maître d’, but I doubt it would cause such a fuss.

The truth is that the rich and famous have been rude to servers forever. This is not a good thing, but it also hasn’t been big news until recently. Now social media gives every restaurateur, nanny, production designer and eavesdropper a platform that could reach a global audience. This makes it much harder for a celebrity to control his or her image, and almost impossible to maintain a pristine reputation. Being known as a nice person can be dangerous.

 

진짜 사람 괜찮다 생각했는데 역시나 다 대본이었다는 슬픈 이야기 

 

문제의 egg yolk omlet ...

알러지 있으면 처음부터 다른 거 먹으면 안되냐 왜 굳이 시켜놓고 소리를 지르고 그랬을까 

저런 매너 보인 게 처음도 아니라고 함

 

근데 레스토랑에서의 매너도 그렇지만

그 다음날 The Times 랑 인터뷰 하면서 "잘못한 게 없다" 고 한 게 더 실망스러움

진짜 분칠한 것들이 하는 소리는 하나도 믿으면 안되겠구나 싶고 - 계약서로 써서 거짓말이면 보상금 준다 뭐 그런게 아닌 한 믿을 수 없는 듯
