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."

I love how he always introduces himself as Montero. He's so humble and it's nice to see from a celebrity

[@Antwannnn]

It's his name lol You think 2 Chainz goes by 2 chainz in a line at McDonalds.

[@taylortiwari7118]

Now y’all can finally see that Lil Nas X really has the vocals. I always gotta fight people to prove that. He can sing and rap live. He’s clearly been working on his vocals, and he’s better than a lot of what’s out there.

[@CrimsonHeart3]

For his voice type he's okay since there's barely any low voices in mainstream, however he didn't really sing a song that challenges his voice - so I don't see the point in defending him like he's some beyonce of vocals. Even in his recent concert in chile, he's still struggling to transition from note to note and projecting with power - if he didn't have playback some notes would be complete silence since they're basically a whisper. Songs like void, town of salem - he hasn't done at all as far as I've seen - and with a song like starwalking we need to hear it acoustically to see how good it would sound without playback which is meant to hide mistakes. Look, he at least tries and I respect that given that there are artists that don't even try - but to say "he's better than A LOT?" that's just bull and you're gonna attract hate if you just plain lie to cover for his faults. Let him improve and then defend him, for now it is what it is.

[@GogosUTube]

@@CrimsonHeart3 As a huge Lil Nas X fan I completely agree. Even when you love an artist you still gotta be realistic. I dislike when people let their idolization blind them from the reality of a situation.

I wonder what it’s like to be your unapologetic authentic self? Still don’t know as a 28 year old women, but Lil Nas X encourages me to be so, even if I take it one step at the time… He’s truly the embodiment of someone who stays true to themselves, but is humble and likeable at the same time! Such an inspiring individual, I love that so much about him! ❤
