Comedian Corden to have gags licked
9:40pm Tuesday 19th August 2008
Gavin and Stacey star James Corden is in negotiations with Wall's to write jokes for their ice cream sticks, the company said.
Bafta-winning Corden has been asked to write a series of short gags that will appear on a limited edition of the brand's ice creams and ice lollies.
A spokesman for Wall's Ice Cream said: "We instantly thought that James would be the perfect person to create a series of jokes for all our limited edition lolly sticks that would appeal to the whole family.
"He's unique and has a fantastic sense of humour so we really believe that his jokes will have the nation roaring with laughter this summer."
Corden, who plays Smithy in the hit BBC comedy, also co-writes the show with Ruth Jones who plays Nessa.
He picked up Best Male Comedy Newcomer while the programme won Best New British Television Comedy at last year's Baftas.
