You - and indeed, he - may have thought that kissing Sean Spicer was the most ill-judged moment of his career, but it seems that James Corden is determined to outdo himself.
The chat show host came in for serious criticism over the weekend after he made several jokes about Harvey Weinstein at the AmFar Gala in Los Angeles.
He's now taken to Twitter - as predicted - to apologise 'for anyone offended', but many are pointing out that he has form in using that line after doing something that generated publicity...
To be clear, sexual assault is no laughing matter. I was not trying to make light of Harvey’s inexcusable behavior, (1/2)

but to shame him, the abuser, not his victims. I am truly sorry for anyone offended, that was never my intention. (2/2)

Is he ACTUALLY trying the 'sorry ur offended' line?

Also, it is highly likely that the audience contained women who that pig has sexually assaulted. Must have been excruciating for them.

I'm of the opinion that if you need to explain your joke... it wasn't funny. In this case it wasn't just unfunny it was inappropriate

.@JKCorden When the audience took offense, I'd have gone with something other than bemused or incredulous.

It wasn't that you caused offence but that you exploited the misfortune of others to try to be funny - but then you were not at all funny...

Yet you kept going even when you knew people weren't laughing
