As it turns out, James and Ruth actually met while working on a series called “Fat Friends.” They didn’t hit it off right away, but fate had other plans for them. James had an idea for a show about a wedding, and he shared it with Ruth. From their initial conversation, the concept for Gavin and Stacy was born. However, they both had reservations about starring in the show as the lead characters. They eventually decided against it, feeling that their brother-sister dynamic wouldn’t translate well on screen.
Despite the lack of chemistry between them, James and Ruth clicked creatively. Their writing partnership brought Gavin and Stacy to life. The show became a breeding ground for new comedy talent and quickly gained a dedicated fanbase. The success of the first season led to the production of a second, which is currently being filmed. Alongside James and Ruth, the second series will feature talented newcomers, including Sheridan Smith.
As the conversation shifted, Jonathan Ross couldn’t resist asking about James Corden‘s personal life. With his girlfriend, who happens to be in the audience, James admitted that he was indeed a married man. In fact, he has been married for eight years and has stepchildren. The audience erupted in laughter as James and Jonathan engaged in a humorous exchange about James’ previous claim to have lost his hand. It seems that James has a knack for winding up Ruth, who once fell victim to a prank about James losing his hand.
With their incredible chemistry evident on screen, it’s no surprise that Gavin and Stacy has resonated with audiences. The show’s success even caught the attention of NBC, who bought the rights to make a pilot for an American adaptation. James and Ruth will serve as executive producers on the project and may even find themselves jetting off to LA. The future certainly looks bright for this dynamic duo.
Before bidding farewell to James and Ruth, Jonathan Ross couldn’t help but mention James’ remarkable dancing skills. It’s clear that James has an undeniable talent for busting a move. Although he hasn’t had formal dance training, his dancing stands out as a skill worth celebrating.
Overall, James Corden and Ruth Jones brought an undeniable energy and charm to the set of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. Their journey from their first meeting on “Fat Friends” to the creation of Gavin and Stacy is a testament to their creative genius. As they continue to work on the show’s second season and explore new opportunities, it’s safe to say that their star will continue to rise.
