Our Show Is 6 Years Old!

Six years ago tonight The Late Late Show with James Corden aired its premiere episode, and James remembers some of the highlights with Reggie Watts and Ian Karmel, including Reggie's epic impromptu duet with Donald Glover. And while James is recapping the headlines, he admits he thought he spotted -- and sang at -- Billie Eilish in traffic on the way to work.

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."

The bit with Reggie and Childish Gambino will forever be a classic

[@chinemeremudoh3732]

Forever!!!

[@JaceDiehl]

I love how during Donald Glover’s performance, the other guy on the couch doesn’t know what to do

[@LaLa-qb2ps]

I think the guy on the couch is just amazed as we all are at how incredibly talented Danny Glover as it James Cordon's band. WOW!

[@ayadali9112]

Same.😄

[@rex-racer]

Carpool Karaoke and any bit where he gets out of the studio have been signature works over the last 6 years, but this show has seriously gelled with this no-audience crew banter. Keep it going!

[@hmv5166]

Yeah, I kinda hope they won't have an audience even after the pandemic (if it ever ends)

[@istdochallesegal3427]

@@hmv5166 I hate your parenthetical comment (because of the possibility that it could be correct)

[@juliepokela506]

I agree-I love the banter!

[@lauralishes1]

Totally agree. It's so much better with no crowd. Bringing in the crew and band more, just like having a genuine conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. I don't want them to go back to the old way.

[@danhurl1349]

This is too good, pleeeease don’t bring back the audience!!!!

[@nickvizzo4563]

This is the best on set chemistry I’ve seen between this team so far and it was already a high bar.

[@shmo_de]

Their bits with the audience were good too, though. 😂😆

[@shmo_de]

@GNR Forever oki agree to disagree. I liked them, especially that segment with the string of money 😊

[@ambera5448]

I agree, much better show nowadays!!

[@sherryrose2502]

Totally agree! I absolutely adore this format

[@jamesmitchell4576]

I personally love the no audience format because of the crew interaction.

[@sherryrose2502]

A 1,000% agree with you! I have written the same thing!! I absolutely love it

[@soggywaffles-oo2gi]

Agreed

[@katieistiredagain7288]

I 100% prefer it

[@trickwillis]

Feels similar to Howard Stern during the first few Sirius years. We got to know everyone in uncharted territory, something about the loose casual hanging out that's been fun.

[@katieistiredagain7288]

Most likely just speaking for myself here but as someone from UK without and America audience it makes it a lot easier for me to watch and enjoy, not sure why but it is much more enjoyable

[@laurataylor8717]

My favorite part was when Donald Glover and Reggie were performing and James was like an excited boy like 'this is so cool I can't believe it's happening here!'

[@barbiemendezpolistico2756]

i genuinely believe that james treats his staff the same way on and off cam. they're very lucky

[@emmab3726]

People on twitter say it's such a toxic workplace and I could kind of see that but they also seem pretty happy so idk

[@manasvegi4170]

When he asked reggie, I knew it was gonna be the gambino memory. It was legendary.

[@elliewileman8239]

Why is Reggies guitar solo better than most solos? He’s only using his mouth! That man is a legend

[@julieh.9826]

Totally. His live show is amazing. A creative genius.

[@andrewjohnson6716]

I never saw that moment with Childish Gambino before! That was amazing!!

[@Timbergal]

I love James because he is so authentic....he has no fears...I love everything about him

[@tinas_hotdog_sophie]

Now it makes sense why Reggie wants Guillermo's baby being born today!

[@hotdamndan9892]

Oh crap, yes!

[@googlegmail4636]

he was awake for 48 hours, needing the Ray Ban shades

[@user-zf4pb8cb5i]

My favourite all the time. James's humour are easy to catch and his voice and his talk are perfect , not to fast not to slow and understandable

[@knyghtryder3599]

Agree

[@pranishashakya4397]

Favourite moment when James asked Kendall how is Kylie feeling after she back off show saying not feeling well 😂

[@betherrohrbacker5337]

Thank God we had this show during the pandemic! Thanks to everyone involved in the show!

[@FirstMIDDLELast]

I’ve been watching from the beginning. I still remember when James started crying to his parents. He has just so much confidence it just helps me so much.

[@samsolida]

Omg Childish Gambino and Reggie - classic!!! ❤️👌🎶

[@jenijohnson7096]

Donald Glover + Reggie impromptu performance was brilliant!!!!!!!!

[@natechenry]

Ok that childish gambino bit was fire as hell. Imma need a studio version on Spotify please.

6 years James the best

[@4deleDaz33m]

James' back must've hurt for carrying the entire One Direction members and fandom for 6 years. I hope that he's okay......😂😂😂

[@nemesisvfx9751]

its been 6 years but i dont see the difference between james between the time period, shape same, mentality same, humor same

[@karatepig3997]

you are right, well i don´t know, maybe it is so because the fat push his wrinkles out?

[@tonajensen2209]

He looks older now

[@dangler1907]

Given that average male life expectancy is 78 years, six years isn't exactly a long time.

In just six short years, James and the Late Late crew already made some of the best TV bits ever, from Drop the Mic to Carpool Karaoke,. This show's writing crew is always on their toes to keep up what's in trend. Also, James was able to make this show his own and avoid trying too hard to follow the footsteps of Craig.
