Hey how about CBS sponsors Ian's wedding on a cruise ship. The entire crew can be there with Ian's friends and family. Maybe even a resident musical act. Or a whole show like Ant and Dec.

Make it the Honeymoon Cruise. Ten days of doing the show on the HC.

A lot of places worldwide have gone back into lockdown. If reports of our COVID numbers continue rising in CA, we will be, too. So it may be for more pragmatic reasons they're not opening to a public audience just yet.

Jabbed and safe on board, filmed Big Brother style so we see it all! 5. You know what isn't FDA approved? Tattoo ink. Lots of these "it isn't even FDA approved" people have ink on

So many reasons to smile tonight while watching this video!! The gang is back, Steve's news intro rocked, no audience, Ian's engaged...!!! The new flipped staging/positions will take a little getting used to, but you're all back!!! 🧡🧡🧡

[@radiogoodguy6287]

There's more staff at the show this season. As long as they don't bring back the audience.👍The news jingle keeps getting better! Bravo Steve!🎶

[@francescaa8331]

Yes, I think they tried to make him feel more comfortable by upping the amount of employee audience.

You guys are back and I honestly shed a tear. I feel like my friends are back after being away! This is so awesome! FINS UP!

James Corden Post Covid: The only show where the ENTIRE Stage Crew from the Senior producer to the boom mike guy gets to be on camera together. Just watching the new guy get introduced like that was wonderful.

I like how they acknowledge their interns, too.

[@sdbelland]

*Thrilled to see you all back and that the format hasn't changed! We missed you. Congrats to Ian on his engagement!*

[@skimmynyc6165]

At this point, we all feel like we work there too- in the best way! Hearing about Ian's engagement, Nick's press tour, the cruise jokes. Covid is a bitch but having this show stay this way is a nice positive!

[@m0rfans]

I'm waiting to hear how the "Summer of Susan" turned out. I presume it wasn't on here as it requires its own 15 minute segment... :-)

I’m SO glad you returned with the same format - I love the energy of just the staff and crew! Nobody is doing this in late night tv, and it just works swimmingly! Don’t ever get an audience again!

[@ProfHoff]

Is it a coincidence that the Spider-Man No Way Home trailer drops the same day you all come back from vacation......OF COURSE NOT! Epic timing of divine intervention of the highest order. Your show during the pandemic has breathed life into your viewers souls and honestly become the most authentic, natural, joyful show on Late Night TV. The Ted Lasso of Late Night. Thank you for sticking to the pandemic format!!! Never go back. You've changed the game. Forever.

[@geekishgir]

So funny, I was just about to post that the only reason I didn't click this first this morning was I noticed the Spider-man trailer first! 😁

The trailer dropped?!?! Hell yeah!

[@kerrybee1327]

Rose, me too!!

[@rallyny]

Oh thank god, I can stop anxiously checking the channel for the occasional “summer special fix,” of which there were excruciatingly few. 😣 What did I most pine for all summer? Steve’s jingle o’ the day (joined in the Standing O today, it was magnificent) and, of course, Nick’s nervous laughter moment o’ the day. Gotta go now and find The Kevin Show…

[@audrafuentes6002]

So happy the show is back on…and without an audience!! The chemistry with everyone is so great. And congrats to Ian on his engagement! I’ve been a fan since Chelsea Lately

[@samya.the.author2408]

Y’all were joking about not being informed the whole summer: someone legitimately asked me why I wasn’t talking about current events anymore and I replied with “The news isn’t back on until late August.” They just rolled with that reply. No questions asked. No cruise ships tipped.
