But the fun didn’t stop there. In a playful banter, James noticed that Pete was wearing an old name badge and jokingly asked him about it. Pete explained that he accidentally ended up in the wrong line, mistaking it for the taping of “The Price is Right.” It’s understandable, though, as a vacation-induced fuzzy morning can lead to such mix-ups. Oh well, at least he managed to bring a touch of excitement to the talk show set.
As the show progressed, James couldn’t help but express his skepticism about the upcoming year. With wit and humor, he noted that if the next year is even average, it would be a miracle. But let’s be honest, if the next 12 months are just “fine,” that’s not too shabby either. Shades, James’ band, was back in town, bringing their electrifying energy to the set. The lights seemed extra bright that day, but James didn’t mind. Maybe it was just a dimming issue.
Guests joined the couch, and on one of James’ signature segments, he delved into some news updates. President Biden‘s visit to New York and New Jersey to survey the hurricane damage was met with mixed reactions. While many appreciated his presence, some Trump supporters couldn’t resist heckling and calling for his resignation. However, in New Jersey, giving someone the middle finger is almost like saying hello, so perhaps it wasn’t as big a deal as some might think.
Shifting gears, James touched upon the upcoming recall election for California Governor Gavin Newsom. But what caught everyone’s attention was Caitlyn Jenner‘s recent email blunder. In an attempt to rally her supporters, she accidentally stated the wrong voting date. Oops! At least she’s keeping the election race interesting, even if the polls suggest she has a long way to go.
And speaking of interesting, Bud Light has unveiled a new line of hard seltzers called the “Full Flannel” variety pack. With flavors like pumpkin spice, maple pear, apple crisp, and toasted marshmallow, it’s like drinking a Yankee candle. James jokingly remarked that two wrongs don’t make a right, and it’s hard to argue with that logic. Perhaps it’s time to hop off the hard seltzer trend bandwagon.
As the show continued, James joked about his guest’s drinking habits. Ian, for one, confessed that he doesn’t really drink. While James playfully tried to pry out the reason, Ian mentioned it all boiled down to calories. He just didn’t want to consume unnecessary calories. But James quickly pointed out that Ian is no stranger to his nightly microwave curry sessions. So, no one’s forcing him to abstain from enjoying a glass of wine or even trying the new Bud Light hard seltzers. It seems like Ian’s logic might not hold up after all.
With a mix of lighthearted banter and amusing news stories, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” entertained viewers once again. From honey-covered bodies to misplaced name badges and misinformed election dates, the talk show provided a good dose of laughter and witty commentary. Who knows what antics James and his guests will get up to next? One thing’s for sure – it will continue to be lively, entertaining, and a joy to watch.
