On a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the host kicked off the show with his signature warmth and humor. As the audience eagerly awaited the start of the show, Corden took a moment to thank everyone for being there.
However, there was a slight hiccup, as Reggie Watts, the show’s bandleader, was nowhere to be found. Corden jokingly expressed his concern, assuring everyone that the show wasn’t live and that they would proceed even without Watts. But to everyone’s relief, Watts soon appeared on stage, much to the applause and cheers of the audience.
Corden couldn’t help poking fun at the situation, playfully calling out Watts for his late entrance. The banter between the two continued as they facetimed each other and shared a few laughs.
Once the show officially started, Corden introduced the news segment, discussing the stress and podcast speculations in America. A special guest, Nick Bernstein, joined Corden and Watts on the show, sharing his recent experience on a Malaysian podcast called “The C Word,” hosted by a famous radio personality from Malaysia.
As the conversation flowed, Corden couldn’t resist teasing Watts about his stylish fashion choices. It seemed as though they had coordinated their outfits to resemble the Joker’s henchmen. The surprise continued as Corden hinted at a special surprise involving Jack Nicholson, who would be singing three songs from Prince’s original Batman soundtrack later in the show.
Amidst the laughter and light-heartedness, the conversation took a brief turn to a more personal topic. Watts revealed that he had taken the advice of his psychologist and committed to celibacy for three months. Both Corden and Bernstein chimed in with humorous and supportive comments, acknowledging the challenges and benefits of such a decision.
The episode also featured an entertaining moment when Corden attempted to imitate Jack Nicholson. Although he felt the pressure, Corden’s attempt was met with laughter and applause from the audience.
To add even more excitement, Corden unexpectedly announced that he is in multiple K-pop bands. He playfully named some of these bands, including the “Wet Boys” and “Ham Wagon.” The mention of K-pop sparked a discussion about the pronunciation, with Corden expressing uncertainty about whether it should be pronounced “k-pop” or “kapaa.” This led to a playful exchange between Corden and the show’s sound effects team, as they creatively added sound effects to the conversation.
The episode ended on a light note, leaving the audience entertained and eagerly anticipating future surprises from “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” With Corden’s charismatic hosting and the dynamic interactions between the guests, it’s no wonder the show continues to captivate viewers and maintain its status as a popular talk show.
