Who Would Fight Who On Our Staff?

James kicks off the show recapping the previous night's rainstorm that blessed Southern California and we put our boom operator Rylan to the test. After, we descend into utter madness when Winnie asks James if he is fight or flight.

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."

Since we’re putting it all out there tonight, I will overshare that I actually peed laughing at “the night the wheels finally came off.”

[@ragnarocking]

It was honestly a little shaky the first day back with an audience. As I had only started watching this show after the pandemic started, I was worried they would revert to a tame, PG-13-ish show. This episode put my mind at ease though 😀

As soon as you see the monologue is over 12 minutes you know it is going to be an instant classic. The best monologue section in late night TV anywhere. By unanimous decision! And still late night monologue champions!! The Late Late Shoooow!!!

[@averagestudent1158]

The show can literally start charging the audience. The monologue is literally a stand-up show now. They have celebrity interviews and musical performances to end the show. I would not be surprised and actually like it if James starts roasting the audience. And considering this show airs at midnight, it's perfect.

[@abbycross90210]
