Ian Karmel is back and he's different - but that's what happens when you get married and Manny at Barbeques Galore in Pasadena absolutely hooks you up! And when we get into the headlines, a story about the ability to unsend and edit text messages leads to Ian telling an unbelievable story about a text mixup of his from a time long ago.

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."

8:46 - Ian's drunken story is perhaps the funniest drunk texting story I've ever heard. Hilariously narrated, too!

[@The.4nimaL]

Yes someone at LLS wrote that-

[@TrevorAllen]

I like to imagine Manny watching this and it just makes his day...

[@moonhunter9993]

and sales...

[@mannycamara7874]

I really did, and spot on ! it made my day

[@mrsir4315]

@@mannycamara7874 lol 😆

[@lancefromohio]

You know who would have loved to have gotten that text, Ian? Manny at BBQgalore in Pasadena.

[@MorrisDuBose]

Well Done!

[@delta5297]

I was all thinking "this girl was definitely drunk when she texted that". But no, it was Ian who was drunk.

[@patricialynnmoore]

Wow. You figured that all out on your own? How incredible. You’re a genius. Bravo man. 👏🏼

[@jimchoi2719]

Definitely Ian's text story was brill. Howling with the ending. Breaks up the brevity here in the UK we all feel.

[@cloudwatcher608]

James is actually completely accurate. My 6 year old daughter is friends with several children whose parents I think are absolutely awesome, but I couldn’t tell you their first name without social media stalking them

[@courtneyr1856]

I love married Ian. Best jokes. Great attitude. Married life really relaxed him

[@TheBasher-_-]

Nah his attitude is kinda stank. Def not a chill bro vibe at all anymore. He doesn't even have a drink. She ruined him.

[@hotdamndan9892]

James really really bringing in that dark British humour now on his last year in the LLS. Lol And now we need a skit with Ian, James and Rob in BBQGalores with the MAN himself, Manny!

[@briesullivan6149]

I hope Manny gets a promotion for providing Ian such amazing customer service that it earned Barbecues Galore basically a free infomercial. Well done, Manny!

[@mannycamara7874]

I hope I get promoted too 😆

[@onaed1979]

That text exchange was comedy gold right there!!

[@leadspot]

Ian's twist, just priceless hahaha xD

[@craigfulton2586]

Does anyone else feel like Ian would do fantastic with his own talk show?

[@stephencraig5938]

Absolutely..his stand up the last week killed it.

[@mannycamara7874]

This is manny from bbq galore, want to thank James Corden and Ian karmel for the shout out, you guys are awesome 👌

[@iceman9867]

It sounds like James corden needs to visit manny at barbq galore in pasadena!

[@penguinista]

That was an excellent intro. It got very real before the news! This show is hilarious and unique.

[@wildthinair]

I feel a Barbecues Galore flash mob today 😝

[@mohanupendra2242]

That text message joke was the best JOKE, I have heard in days. and Reggie was like😮😮😮😮😯😯

[@andyv911999]

Ian’s story is absolute class what a legend

[@joanneweiss3864]

The first 5 min is why I'll miss this show👍👏💖 LMFAO "you're Fox's dad" omg truth 😂

[@patsylvest]

Love these guys individually. Love them double together. Great message.

[@SANTANAMNSTR]

Reggie's face is the perfect reaction to that story

[@strrts5135]

Very true what they said about friends as a mom working on friendship needs to be a priority!

[@curcumaorganica3944]

This was so funny, James. Now I wanna go to the BBQ Galore in Pasadena 😳

[@mannycamara7874]

Ask for me manny I'll take care of you lol

[@ellekay4758]

I mean, this whole thing was just gold.

[@xosweetiexpieox5]

I think they should invite Manny from Barbecues Galore to be a guest on the show! I just imagine him hearing them talk about him & it making his day! And maybe even got him some more business too❤️

[@mannycamara7874]

I love to be in the crowd but I'll probably freeze on TV lol but thanks for your comment

[@Voyagerheat]

James NEVER fail to make me laugh!!!😂😂 thanks James!!!

[@chrispatmore8944]

The reason they love is blind is because once you’re in long term relationship you can’t see your friends anymore.

[@markborn5293]

Damn Karmel, that’s hilarious!

[@Prettygirlcn5]

Please do the "Take a Break" segment at Barbeques Galore! James can fill in for Manny! 😄

[@BenTIStudios]

Great idea ❤️

[@savage_karma]

And he shared that....? On television? Omg good for him 😂 😂 😂 9

[@edwardkinsey5680]

Best Text story ever😂😂

[@eliharbin77]

Gonna need a segment where James, Ian, Nick, and Rob go see Manny at Barbecues Galore #pleaseandthankyou

[@inanutsjel]

That should be the next bit, Nick gets a throne 😂

[@mileslaw]

That's one hell of a text story lmao

[@paulzammataro7185]

It took her 12 hours to stop laughing!!!

[@StevenTorrey]

That's waht we need: a barbecue quartet!

[@jasonwilliams1713]

I am captivated by every word Ian says 🤣

[@naomiarram5187]

Married Ian, swishing his ring around in the air. Love it!!

[@halfdollardude7647]

He's not wrong about the "wife's friend's husbands." My life....

[@kimmywatts5459]

Best drunk text story ever 😂🤣🍻

[@jacobanatoly876]

Ian, great to hear! 🎉❤

[@kuromikendall]

The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love your decisions. ♡

[@efemdesign]

11pm Monday and only James released their show. Wtf. Where are the rest?

[@kennethcarr2449]

The rest of the late night shows are reruns tonight

[@benzaiten933]

"the proper location" aka your stomach 🤣

[@alpussycatthesubstantialch4049]

Wow Ian, great text capade!

[@jans3981]

[@pbsnoosk13]

[@ezra2aid]

[@cassandraprice-edwards9401]

[@tlhardi1]

We need to meet manny!

[@davincisghost9228]

Legend tale Ian, legend!

[@denisebuethe9462]

BEST TEXT STORY EVERRR!!! L😵L

[@stephenchen856]

That was good, Ian.😆

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

11am checkout….I’m automatically gonna ask for a 1pm check out! It just feels wrong!

[@oscarg9140]

I live near that store, and Manny is really chill! Set me up with a primo smoker.

[@sheridan7475]

Epic story

[@mickelin100]

oh ian...best story ever!!!!

[@msCami3]

Ian leaves for a week or so and comes back with a mustache 🤔🤔🤔

[@joshthompiano]

I kind of love Married Ian. Still hilarious.

[@PumpkinJack31]

@11:56 I’m 💀

[@edwardndriskoll]

They just need to charge him with "interfering with public duties" already. It's instant conviction...

[@thomasanders1314]

Aussies know how to do a proper BBQ party (prawns on the barbie - whatever it means:D, champagne brekky, sunscreen backyard cricket)✨;)

[@peachesandpoets]

Shoutout to the homie Manny

[@manny_fresh9266]

Yeah!

[@Seldomane]

So.. did Ian really do that for his honeymoon or was he just quoting Rupert Holmes & Bill Murray from Groundhogs day?

[@Mherel_jane]

We Love You JAMES

[@AndrewNation13]

James Corden is literally a most inspiring comedian and a man of true mega celebrity status 👏 yaaaay 😁

[@DerekHoscorner]

James Corden text message age awesomeness job

[@sadeghbamohabbatchafjiri2846]

🤣🤣🤣

[@luqmanjunior1244]

That might be the greatest story ever told 😂🤣

[@jazzmoos5382]

I could see Ian as a future host. 🎤 Just sayin…

[@quetzal3000]

yes!😆

[@sweiland75]

Ian should have his own show.

[@westerlied]

LISTEN TO ALL FANTASY EVERYTHING !! 300 EPISODES OF IAN MAKING A SHOW

[@Thelucky23]

My wife likes me…. Pov Her: “ You better not answer that phone” Him: ….. no answer… Her: “mmhmmm” Him: (thoughts) “I’m not gonna hear the end of this”…. Too much but totally ran through my head…. 😅🤣🤣

[@lynneharris-gralin1693]

THORNES GALORE

[@jessetuominen9551]

OK 👍🏻

[@CLYMA1.5CHAINZ]

When Trump is asked to pay back his loans 5:07

[@shamaniarmani2976]

Reggie❤️

[@lianefehrle9921]

That was the funniest so far.

[@andreawest4972]

I mean; the man was on vacation/his honeymoon. Work/the show should respect that and not call him. And he should not be expected to pick up the phone … just a though (I know they made it into a joke, but still)

[@mrbear1302]

Longest story EVER!

[@TheAccidentalViking]

Being a 'King Charles' is not a great nomenclature. Or perhaps he's pleased that it leaves him nothing to live up to?

[@hypergidra2407]

Cool

[@RikHeijmen]

...Could Ian be hosting next years' late late?

[@patricialynnmoore]

James, I thought you would be off this week in respect towards the Queen. I’m truly surprised.

[@christopherweise438]

It's not up to him. It's up to the network.

[@8910d]

Ian steals the show.

[@piechgh]

Damn dudes wearing a mask why would you ask him to hang out?

[@quetzal3000]

ian!

[@manny_fresh9266]

Hey!!

[@bluediva7]

Wow Ian took over most of the show with that story. I wonder does he always make a short story longer?

[@Barnaclebeard]

This show really peaked during the lock downs.

[@ssglopezvm]

3-4 min ad for Manny BBQ galore, bs 🙄 💩

[@mikasa_sucasa]

Aah, he forgot to close it with 'and now she's my wife'

[@benelkinne9808]

my question about that very short shot of King Charles 3 and Camilla (the horse) B... which one is the Charles?

[@teresitauy5532]

Hahahahaha, Camilla the horse . Darn, is she ugly or what ? She could have picked a very good plastic surgeon .

[@JChalant]

7:10 the directors chair is pretty Thrown-y James ;)

[@burnyizland]

I recall another noun that ended in galore, I wonder how many of those SHE had to qualify. If you know you know. *wink*

[@christopherweise438]

A certain pilot in Goldfinger.

[@Lanhoj]

*Ian's got the best stories...* @8:46

[@stephaniel1981]

FYI don't buy wire grill brushes. I work for a Ear, Nose and throat clinic. 4th of July weekend a lady swallowed a wire that broke off and stuck to the grill rack and then got on her foot and stuck in her throat. It was very hard for the Dr to remove.

[@ImNotInLoveItsJustAGameWeDo]

🥰❤️🥰❤️

[@triplekillerable]

James is right. I have a friend of 15 years. He became 160kg since he married. He was 80kg. Tells Im only his friend (cause I was texting a lot to him). I stopped. He wasn't there when I needed him last month. Now he has family issues with his mother being bitch to his wife etc with his 2 little kids. Yeah. He woke up with his 2 kids and wife and realized he had no friends left.

[@serrannkokusmussmarklklar3153]

🥰

[@mrsir4315]

That joke dragged on a bit but it was a hilarious ending
