James Corden Brilliantly Responds to Bill Maher's Fat Shaming Take

James Corden has brilliantly responded to Bill Maher‘s opinion on fat shaming and how it does to “make a comeback.”

Corden called out his fellow late-night host, who he noted is also the second highest-rated host on his network, in a poignant piece on The Late Late Show.

“Fat shaming never went anywhere. Ask literally any fat person, we are reminded of it all the time,” James said during his monologue. “There’s a common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy and we’re not. We get it, we know. We know that being overweight isn’t good for us and I’ve struggled my entire life trying to manage my weight and I suck at it. Let’s be honest, fat shaming is just bullying. And bullying just makes the problem worse.”

James concluded the monologue with a message for Bill.

“We’re not all as lucky as Bill Maher. We don’t all have a sense of superiority that burns 35,000 calories a day,” he said. “While you’re encouraging people to think about what goes into their mouths, just think a little harder about what comes out of yours.”
