Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle
Being one half of a double act lightened what Stewart Lee did/does considerably, though. It would have to - one need only look at Richard Herring's more recent material by comparison.
Corden may well have watched and enjoyed Fist of Fun, but, as I say, I don't really think that's the point here. He's clearly the kind of one-dimensional people-pleaser Lee would hate - someone who his management milk to the nth degree, stretching somewhat limited talent to its thinnest. Seems pretty obvious to me that any 'admiration' - stage-managed or otherwise - isn't likely to be reciprocated here.
