In a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the host took a moment to discuss the highly anticipated TV show, “Impeachment: American Crime Story.” James shared that he and the entire team at the show are completely obsessed with the series, which delves into the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal from a woman’s perspective.
Among the highlights of the episode James highlighted was the appearance of Monica Lewinsky‘s infamous stained blue dress for the first time. Monica herself makes a surprise appearance on the episode to talk about the dress. When asked about the mysterious stain, Monica jokingly responds, “I think it was guacamole.”
James, adding his comedic touch, couldn’t help but react hilariously to the mention of guacamole on the stained dress. Echoing the confusion of viewers everywhere, he questions, “Guacamole? I mean, hummus maybe, but guacamole?” The stained dress has stirred up quite a bit of controversy online, with various theories about its color and the nature of the stain.
The episode also delves deeper into the relationships between Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp, played by Sarah Paulson. The two characters form a close bond, and Monica opens up to Linda about her past relationships. The series, like any other Ryan Murphy creation, features an all-star cast, although James humorously notes that we mostly see the back of their heads.
In addition to Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp, another intriguing character introduced in the series is Matt Drudge, portrayed by the brilliant Billy Eichner. Matt Drudge is known as the mastermind behind the popular news and gossip website, the Drudge Report. James humorously points out that seeing Billy Eichner in a non-comedic role on the street feels strange, as he is so used to Billy’s energetic comedy style.
The episode reveals that, in order to find classified information for his internet newsletter, Matt Drudge would moonlight as a manager at the CBS Studio gift shop and rummage through the office dumpster after his shift. James playfully jokes that if Matt were working at CBS today, all he would find are Reggie’s empty salad boxes, old pairs of James’ spandex, and rejection letters to Nick from various podcasts in Malaysia.
Matt Drudge‘s character is portrayed as a mysterious and dramatic figure, highlighted by his signature fedora. James quips that Matt is so dramatic that even when he sends an email, he has to put on a fedora. James concludes the segment teasing the upcoming guests, Tyra Banks and Leslie Odom Jr., and humorously mentioning that he needs to cancel his dinner plans.
This episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden provided an entertaining and comedic breakdown of the popular TV show “Impeachment: American Crime Story.” With its talented cast and intriguing storyline, it’s no wonder that James Corden and his team are completely obsessed with it.
