In a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the audience was treated to an entertaining conversation between James Corden and his guest, David Duchovny. The show kicked off with applause and music, setting the lively tone for the night.
James, being known for his karaoke skills, asked David if he had ever sung The Killers’ hit song, “Mr. Brightside,” during a karaoke session. David admitted that he had, showcasing his 90% energy and 10% performance. The duo then delved into the intriguing lyrics of the popular track, particularly the line, “I got soul but I’m not a soldier.” Although the meaning behind the lyric remains a mystery, James and David agreed that overthinking it would dampen the song’s magic.
The conversation then took a brief turn towards James’ upcoming plans for the Labor Day weekend. James revealed that he would be celebrating his mother’s 84th birthday in Montana. Expressing gratitude for his mom, he acknowledged the indispensable role of his salad-eating sidekick, Reginald.
Moving on to scientific news, James shared an exciting revelation. Researchers have discovered a new group of super hot earth-like planets, increasing the chances of finding life outside our solar system in the coming years. With a touch of humor, James mentioned that humans might have found their next planet to “completely ruin.”
Keeping the audience engaged, James introduced a peculiar trend gaining popularity in the United Kingdom: church camping, also known as “champion.” He joked about the underwhelming minibar experience within church walls, with just crackers and red wine to offer. James humorously imagined Jesus himself being disappointed with the concept. It’s safe to say that church camping may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
The conversation shifted towards childhood family vacations, prompting James and David to share their memorable RV trip experiences. James reminisced about his father’s enthusiasm for beating traffic, often rousing the family from Disneyland prematurely. Despite the rush, James still holds fond memories of those family adventures.
James humorously mentioned a study that revealed monkeys can also choke under pressure, much like humans. The thought of a scientist constantly increasing pressure on monkeys until they crack amused both James and the audience. They wondered if the monkeys were thinking, “Hang on a minute, I’m a monkey; I don’t need to do this.”
Lastly, James couldn’t resist poking fun at China’s plan to develop an ultra large spacecraft, cheekily assuring Jeff Bezos that his rocket was perfectly average-sized in comparison. The audience erupted in laughter and applause, capping off another entertaining episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden.”
In case you missed it, this episode was filled with hilarious anecdotes, light-hearted banter, and interesting tidbits. From karaoke discussions to family vacations and scientific revelations, James Corden‘s charm and wit, combined with his talented guest David Duchovny, made for an enjoyable late-night experience.
