Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

[@MunchiezDrawings]

I never thought I would see Matilda combined with Donald Trump

[@chloe-hawthorn]

Munchiezxx me neither

[@-kaitlynmalone-3363]

Munchiezxx I feel trump and Hamilton would be a better pair

[@dorothyueno4014]

Munchiezxx He'd make a great Trunchbull

[@anrina]

Check out Stephen Colbert's Hamilton parody of Trump. Also Randy Rainbow did a good one too (look him up).

[@weirdtrot2844]

Munchiezxx right?!

[@bazl1813]

people cheering when ben platt belts that high note im yelling

[@thatdork3871]

can you blame them it was so beautiful, despire their ironic cheering cutting it off

[@rhodopisdenile8977]

I was like "DAMNIT BEN PLATT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SYNC THIS ISNT FUCKING DEAE WVAN HANSEN"

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

@Charlie Andomen deae wvan hansen

[@BennieDuck]

wait when was the belted high note

[@anomalygal]

Valourian it wasn’t exactly belted, but it was a beautiful high note in his falsetto 2:28

[@ALEXIEDWARDS7]

Ben Platt showing up and killing it!!!!!!

[@hanimmazema5607]

[@jauipop]

This needs to be a full musical. PLEASE.

[@jauipop]

how did you get to global warming already? and are you a scientist?

[@Warmishcookies]

Well, just look up the Matilda script and lyrics and adjust as needed.

[@maddiemichigan]

Marcus Chan just imagine that would be so funny

[@Renesmeecarliecullon]

Its a paradoy of Matilda the musical. They chose it because its about setting things right and standing up for what you believe in. It's my favorite musical. I've seen it like 3 times

[@duckmandrake1859]

They probably also selected it because Tim Minchin wrote the musical, and was on the show.

[@WhoamI-hz7uo]

You know you're a musical theatre nerd, when all you can think is that Bens swing is off beat.

[@WheelzOfFortune]

Lmao, that bothered me.

[@ttryon_65478]

OMG IT IS!

WHY DID YOU POINT THAT OUT MY GOSH 😂

[@quarteracreadventures855]

I'm here for Tim Minchin

[@quizzer]

Tim Minchin is a legend

[@leisee7181]

Damn. With this kind of musical Hamilton will give a run for their money. Any ticket available?

[@ber2704]

lei see it closed on Broadway on January 1st. its still available into in london, us tour and Australia though :)

[@laughfrodisiac2400]

Matilda was absolutely brilliant. See it if it comes near you on tour.

[@granthardy2813]

lei see Thank your plucky starlets musical theatre is the last bastion of camp.

[@nobreakernoclip2356]

lei see Hamilton was shit anyways

[@nickpels5772]

lei see it's called matilda

[@DeathlyTired]

So, *this* is why Trump wants to eliminate the Endowment for the Arts.

[@esgaril]

insomniacfolder well, if it is the reason, he won't achieve anything with that because Tim is Australian and he wrote Matilda for the RSC in the UK. As for the parody, I assume this is a for profit show and doesn't need federal funding, so he would have been mocked anyway.

[@fern4998]

insomniacfolder you

[@shmookins]

Tim Minchin is always a joy to watch.

[@sturmflut93]

I have to be honest, I don't know Ben Platt and Abigail Spencer, but I find it hilarious, how Tim Minchin is getting called libtard and such. He's the farthest away from political correctness, doesn't give a damn about what others think about his opinions. Anyway, Tim Minchin is a pure genious!

[@samali3121]

Sturmflut93 Ben platt is from pitch perfect

[@claudiatalbott111]

Sturmflut93 Abagail Spencer is Lucy Preston on Timeless, which is one of my favorite shows.

[@Asummersdaydreamer14]

+Sam Ali Ben Platt is also known for his roles on Broadway in *Book of Mormon*, which is why he was barely in *Pitch Perfect 2*, and *Dear Evan Hansen*.

[@Thegrandvoodoo]

you look like a fatter ricky gervais

[@tetryst]

Minchin doesn't give a damn about supporting political correctness, but he doesn't try to challenge it either. His content is liberal and generally anti--theistic, and he carefully builds apologies for his comedy into his routine, often times to an unnecessary extent. I wouldn't call him a libtard (mostly because I've never called anyone a libtard) but I can definitely understand why someone with a passing disdain for him would.

[@heiditeague2655]

So now we know that if Tim Minchin and Donald Trump had a love child it'd be Simon Pegg

[@lauriejean9306]

Heidi Teague YESSSSS!

[@AdrianLabs]

ROFL so true

[@Siegfried1917]

i was like "excuse me?!" then i googled pictures of him and thought "never mind"

[@klgherkin]

hahaha I thought it was Simon at first too! hahahaha

[@yourlocalanklebiter]

AHAHAH YES

[@chloe-hawthorn]

is this my royal variety performance from 2012? this brings back memories.

[@ptolemaee]

Lmao you're amazing 😂

[@rowangray730]

[@linda_pham]

Oh my god, Ben Platt MY BABY!

[@ka6359]

[@pocketlintpey]

The end move when they pose, I was looking at Ben...he's adorable.

[@jamieredmond5989]

Makes me so happy to see Tim minchin with James cordon!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@rmcnulty2]

Oh sweet baby crack smokin Jesus I laughed so hard lol

[@rmcnulty2]

never said i was a liberal...not all people who find Trump a scum sucking fucktard are liberals....and both his muslim bans were shot done and blocked, how many people in his camp have either had to resign or be fired due to their ties with Russia? the dip wad encouraged Russia to hack Hillary...and Trump is firing off one lie after another..one nutburger conspiracy theory after another..he was just basically called a liar by the FBI and the NSA on national tv....he's also a heap mighty hypocrite because he talks about America this and America that yet he's building a pipeline with Russian steel after going on and on and on about using American steel (all roads lead back to the Kremlin)....for every job he claims to be creating he's costing people..he would bitch left right and center the handful of times Obama went to play golf..Trump has gone 10x's in 2 months (and tried to hide it)...he would bitch when Obama would use Air Force One if it was anything other than business..yet he's flown to FL how many times in 2 months? Palm Beach doesn't want him there..businesses are trying to do something about it...he's costing them revenue...and has disrupted their entire town. NYC doesn't want him there..for the same reasons. The man who talks about how in debt we are is racking up more in expenses than any POTUS EVER...I mean the sheer pig ignorance of Melania staying in NYC costing tax payers millions upon millions a month to protect her. IF she were to spend like 2 weeks in Washington, some of those things being slashed out of the budget could be covered for years...like Meals for Wheels. The Trumps in 1 month cost tax payers more than the Obamas did for a year and change...and Trump's personal bank account is profiting from his Presidency

[@rmcnulty2]

Trump does no "fucking live in FL" you double wide dwelling hillbilly...he lives in NYC, you know that city his mail order bimbo currently lives sucking millions of tax payer dollars from hard working Americans because she doesn't want to be in Washington with Trumplestiltzkin.....and if you seriously think he flies down to FL every weekend to work you've a special kind of ocean front property in kansas real estate buying stupid...he's played golf 10 times in less than 2 months...he's cost more in tax payer dollars in 1 month than Obama's whole family did in 1 year....but try again Jethro.

[@rmcnulty2]

do they teach you Trumpanzees the default talking points..."CNN BAD...GRRRR" last time I checked James Corden was on CBS...so you are definitely putting the ASS in assume...Trump just had the FBI, NSA, and DOJ call him a big fat honking delusional liar on National TV yesterday....he's got the "lie" part of lie til you die down pat..now he just needs to practice that die thing until he gets it right. Trump has given the US a big old swirly. Even people who voted for him are jumping ship.

[@rmcnulty2]

then again Melania is used to fucking people for money...she did it to Trump, now she's doing it to the people of NYC...who says she doesn't have a marketable job skill...I hear they're installing a stripper pole in the oval office just for her...

[@nobreakernoclip2356]

Ray McNulty no we just learn with common sense that people like them and you are dumbasses that make shit up and by the way I am educated so don't bring that up I went to medical school for 7 years and could do what you could ten times better so don't even pull that card
