Speaking of the “funny man’s” antics at the up-scale restaurant, McNally shared two instances where the 44-year-old was less than a delight to serve to. The first time Corden created a ruckus was when he found hair on his main course.

A few read: So James Corden is the male Ellen DeGeneres.So James Corden is the male Ellen DeGeneres. Considering the way James Corden treated people in the Broadway house I managed years ago, I’m actually surprised he hasn’t been banned from more than Balthazar’s.
Absolutely wretched, wretched, miserable, little man.
