James Corden worries that viewers may not find the final episode of Gavin and Stacey funny, despite his own laughter during filming
London: So, James Corden is feeling a bit anxious about the last episode of Gavin and Stacey. He recently shared on a podcast that he’s worried no one is laughing at the jokes anymore. Can you believe that?
He mentioned that even though he was cracking up during filming, he noticed that others weren’t laughing. That made him question if the jokes were actually funny. It’s kind of wild, right? He thinks maybe it’s because everyone has seen the same clips over and over.
James, who’s 46, said it’s a strange feeling. You laugh, but then you look around and it’s crickets. He joked about how people might have seen the same scene like 35 times already. It’s tough when you start doubting your own work like that.
As the final episode airs today, he and other cast members, including Adrian Scarborough, are reflecting on the show’s journey since it started in 2007. It’s been nearly 20 years of laughs!
James also opened up about his mixed feelings while filming. He said it’s been a blast, but there’s this nagging thought that they won’t get to do it again. It’s bittersweet, you know?
Adrian chimed in too, mentioning a line in the script that really hit home: “The End forever, and ever. Amen.” He thinks it’s brave to wrap things up instead of dragging them out. Sometimes, it’s just better to know when to say goodbye and move on to new adventures.
