WASHINGTON — English-born entertainer and “Late Late Show” host James Corden is a man of many talents.
But pronouncing “Maryland” correctly isn’t one of them.
In a bit of friendly banter with band leader Reggie Watts Tuesday night, Corden begins to read a letter from a fan in Maryland.
His initial attempt to pronounce the state’s name came off as “Mary-Land,” with Watts correcting the British comedian repeatedly.
Corden stumbles through erroneous variations such as “Merlind” and “Marlund” before moving on.
