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. Watch the video below.
