Hours after James Corden was banned from a New York eatery, the popular comedian reportedly called up restaurant owner Keith McNally to apologise for his behaviour.
Corden was banned from the popular New York eatery Balthazar after the owner alleged that the Late Night show host misbehaved with the staff of the restaurant.
As Corden apologised, McNally took to Instagram to report that he had decided to forgive him.
"James Corden just called me and apologized profusely," McNally wrote alongside a photo of Corden on Instagram. "Having f---ed up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances."
He then joked that Corden is allowed back at his restaurant under one condition. "So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I'll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar."
"No, of course not. But....anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn't deserve to be banned from anywhere. Especially Balthazar."
"So Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Corden, Jimmy Corden. All is Forgiven. xx," the owner concluded.
Just hours before, McNally had alleged that Corden was '86'd' from his restaurant for repeatedly misbehaving with the restaurant staff on two separate occasions.
