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."

0:57 It's great to see Natalie as Padmé Amidala again! She is an angel. I hope she knows that there are people like myself who actually appreciate her as Padmé. I'm proud to say that Padmé is one of my favorite characters.

[@thesunisbright5515]

[@MrMangoEdits]

Who else got a wave of nostalgia after she quoted those prequel lines once again, flawlessly. She could have easily been a part of the Obi-Wan Series

[@walteralcaraz5898]

Wouldn't have made sense, since Obi-Wan took place about 10 years after Episode III. There would have been no logical reason, unless there was an unnecessary flashback sequence.

[@thomasolson7447]

Leon wasn't creepy. It was actually a pretty good movie if you didn't think about it too hard. Luc Besson, the director, is the creepy one. This movie seems more like an "I'm not a child didler" proof. You only need such a proof if you are a child didler. I'm thinking this guy was one of the Epstien clients.

[@BlueAndGold31]

I know Corden's been in hot water for his attitude/character towards others, but can't deny that the team behind the Late Late Show came up with some brilliantly creative segments Crosswalk the Musical, Carpool Karaoke, Drop the Mic, Acting Out Film Careers, etc. This kind of creativity - that both engages the guests, entertains the audience, and goes viral on the internet - is just genius.

[@Czechbound]

He's a try-too-hard knob, but it's a difficult job, and you have to be his type to carry off the job that he made it. They did change things up, that can't be denied. And he's very talented at what he does. He's just a bit too full on for me, and I'd find him irritating beyond belief in real life. But I suspect I'd find most entertainers in real life like that. But I like watching them on screen. Just not him. I never watched him, and have just been seeing the last week highlights here. That crosswalk theatre thing was one of the lamest things I've seen. Just crap

[@BlueAndGold31]

@@Czechbound For sure - his segments may be lame to some, but they've gone very viral on the internet. And really, in today's social media world, that's the goal Carpool Karaoke (his most famous segment) was so big, that it became its own show. Drop the Mic (celebrity rap battles) had the same route - was so popular on Corden's show, the segment got its own spin-off show on TBS. His adventures riding Top Gun fighter jets and going skydiving with Tom Cruise have millions of views online. I think bottom line is that Corden won't appeal to everyone (I was turned off after the comments on how mean he is to his staff), but there's no denying he has very talented and creative writers, who make segments for the modern generation of viewers

[@Czechbound]

@@BlueAndGold31 Exactly. Well summed up. I never watched his show ( bar the odd Carpool Karaoke with a couple of bands/ singers I was curious about). But I did watch most of the clips of his last shows. He'll go back to stage and screen performing and writing I think, and then when the oldies have died off, and the kids are out of school and living away from home, he'll go back stateside in some form ( maybe a sitcom or something ). He's a unique talent, just not for me.

[@evanpritchard927]

You guys have done some really creative things on the show. These bits are a great example. Congratulations on a great run. Cheers!
