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."

Anyone who's ever worked retailed knew that store had been done top to bottom before he came. Those folds... so crisp.

[@madisonamorim6458]

OMG YES. When I worked there, my managers would have been FREAKING the night before to get that place ready.

[@bosafrmdamob1672]

No this is a old Navy in Utah it's always clean

[@velocity1012]

In NYC old navy's the managers encourage people to just shove clothing under other displays or to toss it up into the upstock.

I guarantee you they all got a bonus that day for having to put up with the Take a Break segment lol

As a fellow old navy worker. Old navy is the best job I’ve ever had! I love my coworkers and the work I do! And I’m so jealous how amazing your store looks!

he is my favorite late night talk show host because its more that just a talk show and this displays thats reason so well haaa

[@mackenzieeaton2553]

0:34 when he started singing “ I say boom boom boom now let me hear you say wayhoo!” I thought of the band Why Don’t We because Zach Herron and Jack Avery sing that a lot.

[@corrinafry4348]

As an Old Navy employee, this would have been a nightmare.

[@whinnyspoiled3572]

How many hours do you think they got so the store can look that way?

[@followdreams08]

Whinny Spoiled two weeks that's how long maybe more

[@whinnyspoiled3572]

iamhunee yea that sounds about right glad a celebrity can help the store get to standard but other stores will suffer

[@CrystalNicole]

Whinny Spoiled i just helped another local old navy put back together their store after their remodel, we had to perfect rad everything like how it is in this store and by the time we were done it was a week and a half later.

[@lpwalke]

Probably needed a week but was only given a day. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@b0red324]

Depending how busy that location is normally it probably took them at least a week with crews probably folding overnight and specific sections being done each day.

Old navy literally cannot force you to wear their brand when working. Lmaoo I used to work there, a jean wall has never been that beautiful.

[@kylynswank5888]

Anastasia Tatyana literally our store has never ever looked this immaculate.

[@b0red324]

They don't force you but strongly encourage you to have a certain look to work there. We literally send people home that don't fit the dress code if they are constantly a problem you might get 1 day a week to work

[@azha139]

We would get a corporate visit at least once every three weeks and I would cry when I had to protect the jean wall. Clearance was even worse!

[@emilybauer709]

Anastasia Tatyana i never wear old navy brand at work, and i dont think i could ever make a jean wall look so nice

i know in the Take A Break episode where he goes to Kosher Butcher, the employee who took the break was scene in a corner of one of the scenes, looking like he decided to pop back in/hang around to watch the shenanigans. so yeah it's entirely possible that was her and it wouldn't have been weird at all, really. my definition if a break is literally anything but working.

Because nobody gets a break at Old Navy. I AM READY, I AM APPROACHABLE, I AM URGENT.
