James Corden has to correct Hollywood superstar Timothée Chalamet during the latest episode of The Graham Norton Show.
The BBC talk show has been going on for 32 seasons, but it never falls short of providing us with funny, awkward or viral moments involving celebrities.
Friday's episode was no different, as Norton welcomed the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Andrew Garfield, James Corden and Ruth Jones onto the famous sofa.

As part of the 12th episode of the show's 32nd season, the stars told stories about their pasts and careers thus far as per usual, as Chalamet revealed how much effort he put in for his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, while Garfield also spoke about his new film We Live in Time with Florence Pugh.
However, an uncomfortable moment followed when Corden started speaking about the highly anticipated Gavin and Stacey finale, which will be on screens this Christmas Day.
It began with the two American guests, Chalamet and Domingo, not understanding the phenomenon of the comedy show in the UK, with the former showing that he hadn't done much prior research on the 2000s classic.
The 28-year-old asked: “I realise this is the end of the third season? Fourth season? Third season?”
Corden found it quite amusing, replying: “Well, it’s the end of it forever.”

“James is never going to have me on his show again now,” Chalamet joked about The Late Late Show with James Corden, which ran until 2023.
Corden then clarified: “It’s alright, that show doesn’t exist anymore,” resulting in laughter from the audience while Chalamet was left red faced. Poor Tim.
That wasn't the end of the misunderstandings though, as both Corden and Jones tried to explain to the hype of the show to the American guests, and how it has been around for 17 years.
Domingo quickly turned to Chalamet, saying: “Oh wow! You were totally wrong.”

But the latter was quick to tell the British pair: “You told me it was three seasons!”
And in a moment of further confusion, Norton explained that it was 'three seasons over 17 years', which did nothing to alleviate the confusion of the actors, who were left as confused as when the conversation started.
Speaking to The Sun previously, Corden opened up on how much pressure he was feeling about the show's finale.
He explained: “We started writing 20 years ago and it’s nuts, inconceivable, that it means more to people now than it did 20 years ago.”
“I still feel pressure — there’s pressure all the time because you don’t want to let anybody down.

“I think it’s the closest you could get to being called up to the England team in terms of something meaning a lot to a lot of people.”
