James Corden Says He’s “Disappointed” In Sean Spicer Kiss, Kinda Apologises

The Emmys caused a huge shitstorm the other night when they brought out former (terrible, very bad) US press secretary Sean Spicer to do a funny ha ha joke, mocking his own lies about how many people turned up at Trump‘s inauguration.

See, it’s hilarious because he once had to apologise for saying that Hitler did not use chemical weapons.

Following that, Variety posted a photo of late-night talk show host James Corden cosying up to Spicer and giving him a smooch, for some godforsaken reason.

If Corden had forgotten how much shit Jimmy Fallon got into for having Trump on his show, he was soon reminded, with people taking to social media to give him a massive serve.

In the opening monologue of his show, Corden addressed the incident as the photo of him kissing Spicer appeared on screen.

These Hollywood phonies kissing up to Sean Spicer are disgusting. I mean, who did this? Who are we talking about here?” Yeah. I know you think that is a picture of me kissing Sean Spicer. But in the spirit of Sean Spicer – no it isn’t.

Anyone ever have that feeling when you get a little drunk and then wake up the next morning and think ‘Oh God, who did I kiss last night?’ It’s a bit like that. To be fair, everyone was kissing ass last night at the Emmys. I just happened to kiss the biggest one there.

He then went on to sort of apologise, saying that he heard people’s disappointment, and that he felt it too.

Understandably, some people have been disappointed by this photo. In truth, I’m disappointed by it as well. I am, I’ve have been reading a lot of harsh comments on Twitter today, and I hear you loud and clear, truly, I do.

An almost-apology is nice, but a picture speaks a thousand words, and I have a feeling that picture will haunt Corden for quite some time to come.
