‘Motherf**king piglet.’ All the celebs who refuse to work with James Corden.

“Fat shaming doesn’t need to end, it needs to make a comeback. Some amount of shame is good,” Maher said. “Shame is the first step in reform.”

A few days later, Corden addressed Maher’s comments on The Late Late Show.

“So I sat at home and I’m watching this and all I could think of, I was like, ‘Oh, man, somebody needs to say something about this!'” the talk show host said. “If only there was someone with a platform who knew what it was actually like to be overweight, and then I realised, ‘Oh, that will be me.'”

Corden reminded Maher that fat-shaming is still very much a thing, adding that “there’s a common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy, and we’re not”.

However, his pleas were largely ignored and Maher doubled down.

“You can’t keep eating as much as you want and as s**t as you want, and expect us to cover the bill,” he said on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

He further argued that Corden “missed a great opportunity to literally save lives” and that “he took the easy way out” by criticising the Real Time host.
