James Catches Staffer Wearing Earplugs During Monologue

James' collar is off at the start of the show but luckily our stage manager quickly fixes it before James dives into the news of the day. While asking a question to the Late Late Show staff, James finds out that one of his staffers is wearing earplugs. James then asks the staff and audience whether the Late Late Show should attempt a Guinness Book of World record attempt at the Longest Talk Show Broadcast. Our co-head writer, Lauren Greenberg, then weighs in on whether guys dating profiles should include shirtless pictures.

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."

People who don't watch this show regularly don't get it. James is the only show I watch that incorporates his staff regularly into the monologue. He allows the people who work so hard behind the scenes in his show to get some of the airtime. This could genuinely help them get jobs once his show is over. Even after so many pandemic restrictions on late night have been lifted he still keeps up this wonderful family show environment. Sure, carpool karaoke is fun. But I won't miss it when he's done taping like I will the monologues. Not even 1% as much.

[@alexharvey9063]

I think when they started doing this during the pandemic, the show took note that the audience liked it. I'm glad they kept this! It gives James people to bounce off of.

[@jasonrosa447]

yes i agree. It started due to the pandemic and im glad they kept it, they rift off each other very well, and no one else does it

[@pooman2]

Yeh the hate for James is the most unwarranted thing ever.

[@jesusisable7052]

@@pooman2 I like the Nick vice president banter 😂😂😂

[@sloth8632]

Conan O'Brien did it too, there are lots of bits that he does with his staff.

[@assassinarsh]

I'm down for the 73 hour broadcast! Do it for a charity event guys.. that would help out and get James out on a very high note.

[@SrJackquito]

How about 73 hours broadcast while on a cruise ships on its way to UK to drop off James 👍🏻

[@PeterBridgesPeteyCanoe]

Love that idea.

[@minoltaaraya]

I always crack up when James tells the audience not to applause out of pity… 😅🤣 “No, don’t.” 😭

[@BentonRox]

I would absolutely watch every second of a 72 hour James Codon episode. It would be a spectacular mess

[@annjohnson8437]

"A livestream of your mental breakdown for 72 hours ..." Hilarious because it's true! Great monologue! 🤣

[@donperera5806]

Winnie truly is the definition of unfounded confidence 😂

[@MkurugenziMwenyekiti]

That was such a boss thing 😂😂😂

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

If anyone can break the longest hosting record it is James Corden. He is competitive, committed, creative perhaps a little obsessive.

[@mily5988]

He just announced his show is done in 1 year

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

@@mily5988 I'm sad to hear that. Thanks for the info. That also explains rude staff wearing earplugs. She doesn't care if she'll get fired because she is leaving anyway.

[@Mariethechaotic]

"I am already going to cry my eyes out". Me too James, me too. I know it's still about a year away but I'm already so sad about it. It'll be cool to see what he does going forward but it won't be easy to top this

[@annad.4040]

Guillermo needs his own camera. I could literally watch him excitedly clap to the news jingle all damn day! 😂🥰

[@ader6673]

James is the best host! 💕 Love that he gives the rest of the staff air time and shares the spot light :)

[@grok2439]

How am I gonna live without this show?? I love James and this show so so so much!!!

[@reinoutryheul4720]

I love that the news jingle is back.

[@nbbim2012]

I was worried especially since we didn't get a Corden Crew epic monologue shenanigans!!!! So glad you're back with a new news jingle!!!!!!

[@carolines111]

True

[@assassinarsh]

Man, Steve really shows up sometimes on News Jingles! Gonna miss this!

[@tommccrae7170]

For the Guinness World Record, they should do the biggest carpool (fit the most people in a car, like a stretch limo while they do a carpool karaoke).

[@shellyreena2192]

Absolutely :)) james do it

[@lindseyp4451]

I just LOVE how he interacts with his staff!!! He is the best!

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Yes news intro was rocking!!! I agree with Reggie can we try the unplug thing .. and Winnie made me actually laugh .. James has the best monologue because it’s like a fun conversation with cool friends every night !! And then we get jokes too .. I just love this so much 💜

[@michw3755]

I live for these monologues, what am I going to do this time next year devastated 😥😢😭

[@mainagibsonke]

I know. I know.

[@tracywalkerPossumQueen]

PLEASE do the 72 hrs and 19 min talk show!! I would hold mega-bake sales to be able to fly out there and get in the audience! 🎂🍪 You'll have to throw in all the bells & whistles: carpool/desk karaoke, crosswalk concerts, crosswalk musicals -- the list goes on and on! It would be fantastic and so much fun to watch James "get punchy"! 😆

[@elizabarry8633]

I'll say it again...you'll be missed James. Wish you could have stayed on with the show.

[@leadspot]

if they keep the conversation like this for 72 hrs, they might break the record

[@Seldomane]

Steve should have kept jumping in with more news intro whenever James started to talk :P

[@reginacalla]

Yay a longer news intro! Gonna miss the intros Steve!! One of the few good things that came out of the pandemic.

[@BenCragg1]

Steve's back on form! #thatswhyweshowup

[@Tess791]

HELLO, THE NEWS JINGLE IN THIS ONE???? OMG, I was instantly doing the same move as Reggie and the guitarist 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😂😂😂 brilliant!!!!!

[@mathgeek3_14]

The thing about going for 4 days straight is he can have so many guests come out and they have literally no time frame where they can end the interview. They literally can just talk for hours and if they get off subject then that will even waste more time

[@aprilwoods7735]

James, you guys need to have a slumber party for sure during this 72 hours broadcast! Sleeping bags, pj's for everyone, and Adam Sandler reading bedtime stories! Be sure to get the girls the ole' OG GIRLTALK GAME and the boys CLEAN GIRLIE MAGAZINES!!! HAHAHA ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO BUDDY!!! oxoxo

[@katecosettevocals]

Oh my god!! YES! Please do this broadcast record thing!!! I mean, even if they didn't go all the way to 72 hours, and just did like a 24 hour one (this is reminding me of that iCarly episode haha), that would be so freaking fun to watch!!

[@benzaiten933]

Winnie is trying to train herself to sleep during the taping 🤣

[@lunes-1]

Great video, keep it up!🕊️🇬🇧

[@ipelengmmeti5924]

I read the title and IMMEDIATELY knew it was Winnie!!😂😂😂😂

Really do not want this show to end.

maybe i should do it i can read cards and a teleprompter

I would 100% watch this livestream

[@mrniceone17]

6:53 WE ARE IN THIS BIG WINNIE ENERGY!

[@TheFultonizer]

Right! 73 hour broadcast live on tv and livestreamed here on youtube for the real fans near and far. It's a sure fire winner. C'mon make it happen!!

[@YeeSoest]

8:45 is spot on !!! as someone who lost about 45lbs between 2019 and 2021 I can guarantee anyone who doesn't know there are two very different lives for people in shape and people who aren't. it's not cool, it's not always fair but it's undeniably true yes, taking it off in public costs you high society points (never had any so who cares) but it's still a better feeling than standing at a public fountain during a heatwave thinking "i wish i could but i can't" or constantly checking how your shirt is falling, avoiding headwinds on the bike, hating on awesome materials and styles because YOU can't wear them OR in this example never walking down a public road w/o a shirt because it just feels good

[@Lenore4Evermore]

There Better be a "NEWS EXTRAVAGANZA" again like the 1000th show. I will miss this !!!!! You all are fantastical. YOU Make me smile, and that is hard to do. I need Dave's laugh on a button. The best is I wrote that before Steve did the NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@thanatosirons]

James, please do the 72 hour and 18+ minute show!! We need it to get the country back on the rails!!!

Better yet, do it on a cruise!

Oh, I love a good news jingle. Yay!

[@bdp8102]

I initially thought that the guy broke the record not for "rapping" but for "wrapping". I even mistook the throw pillows on the couch for wrapped presents, so I was like "yeah that checks out".

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You absolutely have to try and break the record. So great 😀

This 15 minute clip felt like 73 hours.

[@mystikceleste]

Whatever happened to the cruise? Combine the cruise and the world record. That way, there is plenty going on to keep him alert and occupied

oh pretty PRETTY please give us 72 hours of James. it would be insane

Not a cracker nor a cookie, it's a crookie ! 😂 Oh dear.... Good job as always James

I honestly thought he was gonna say whether or not this is a cookie or a crime.

[@catbishop206]

I'm gonna miss James so much I'm already watching re runs!

[@channelzero2252]

I would so watch that! Maybe not all at once. I'd record it and watch it over two weeks or so.

[@kingofthesharks]

11:55 Rob called James "punchy" after just 20 minutes of live TV, James should've fired back with "At least I don't get Crabbe-y"

I think you could do a fundraising 72+ hour broadcast, that could keep it interesting to have a goal…? I vote yes! 🥰🥰🥰

[@imperfectcreations7075]

Why hasn’t James done a spoof Corona song to “My Sherona? (Sp?). I think he should 🤣🤣🤣❣️❣️❣️🍿🍿🍿

[@ellevonk.2925]

Ritz + Oreos = Crookies. The official snack of the Republican Party.

[@TraceyOfficial]

Guiness Record Ideas. Get long time fans of the show to see if they can stay awake with James. But having said that, check medically if its okay to be awake that long, apparently you start hallucinating after a while. James' kids can be nearby because its 4 days awake and then 4 days asleep so his family will miss him. Ah can you imagine the Segment with his parents. Reliving special moments. But can you imagine the music Steve could come up with. Ben could make appearances on the show in a Tribute Section. Each of the Staffers could give their tributes on working on the show and that could be edited for the normal CBS show. Get Tom Cruise to do bits, flip he is funny! All the guests that love James that want to come say goodbye could do a tribute, that again will be edited it for the CBS show.

According to James, I'm Middle to Upper class. Thank you, James. You are too... Well, obviously. You make millions times more what I make. Literally! It's what I get for choosing Comey writing for a career at 40 years old. In my defense, I almost died and it took a toll. So now, I spend the day, laughing at myself.

Yes please break the record

Scalfati is a dream. Winnie deserves a raise. Not even at my highest could I eat Oreos and ritz, together idk bout that.

72 hours is definitely three days and not four......

[@kodguerrero]

Legalize weed, federal maternity leave, raise minimum wage, codify Roe, reduce number of guns, make voting day a federal holiday........ The list is so long, I would take days writing it down

Breaking my heart James, ur just the best on late nite comedy :))))) I will miss u so much. Did visit both jimmy's n stephen this evening. :((( not great

[@johnnywicky8602]

You are funny, keep it up!

[@twinEAH]

Steve's jingle was epic! The idea of breaking the world record broadcast is funny. But don't do it James! It will be hell for you! Four straight days, no sleep, only a five minute break per hour? You will be a lot more than punchy! Seriously, you would regret it. I am not sure it would be good for your health. Rob, don't let him do it. 🤪😨(But if you do it though, have Tom Cruise on, lol. He can do anything, he is a good motivator, and the two of you are hilarious together. And Nick has to be there too. 🤣. I do like some other comments on this thread to combine it with the cruise). I like that James mentions the staffers' side projects. It will help them when the show ends. P.S. can you all lose the masks now? Everywhere else in the world people have. I would love to see people's whole faces.

James, I love your show and I hope before your last episode you can invite SB19 a very talented Filipino pop boy group. I can sure you that they don’t disappoint. One of their songs, which is BAZINGA has been at number 1 on Billboard’s weekly ranking for 7 consecutive weeks. I hope your staff can read this and consider guesting them on your show. More power to you and to all members of this show.

[@lauramartin7883]

I would watch James C. for 72 hours.

The last 4 days should be a cruise, not a broadcast. Maybe there's a world record for the longest broadcast on a ship?
