James Corden Catches Up w/ Quarantined Parents

One of the three things that lifted James Corden's spirits yesterday was a video of a familiar-looking man in front of a familiar-looking home playing the saxophone for his neighbors. That man is James's father, Malcolm Corden, and James takes a few minutes to catch up with his Dad and Mother, Margaret, in their home in High Wycombe.

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."

This is so heartwarming. I could tell that James is close to tears when his mum said "we can't wait to give you the biggest hug". I miss my family back at home too

[@sdc6771]

This hits home, my father lives in Germany. We have no clue when the next time the air travel ban will be lifted. Makes you wonder, when will I be able to get that "biggest hug".

[@geannaaferatseu4609]

@@sdc6771 So true. I'm currently at my university campus because days before the quarantine starts in my country, there were so many other students taking flights home and the airport becomes so packed with many other people also taking flights home and I refuse to take the risk of catching the virus. But I'm grateful to still be in my own country, despite not being with my family during these times. I hope that soon the whole situation will get much, much better and we all will be able to go home, risk-free and get the "biggest hug" we could possibly get. Stay safe and healthy always!

So this is how you do a quarantene show. Fallon, Kimmel and all the others try it too, but James seems to get it down the best. Quality cameras, still good timing where you don't miss the laughing audience. He's a true professional. Many other hosts reveal there weaknesses righ now. James doesn't seem to have any. He adjusted gracefully.

really? wow i understand everything and im american

[@JR-ju3kj]

@@EricLovesthe80s Agreed, I understood everything they were saying, too. They're speaking English, aren't they? And English did originate from England after all. I think we forget sometimes that EVERYONE who exists speaks with an accent but like Jimmy Kimmel said when he was interviewing Emelia Clarke, we here in North America can often forget that we also speak with an accent.
