The Late Late Show with James Corden always manages to bring together a star-studded lineup, and the latest episode was no exception. The chat show welcomed special guests Cat Power and Reg, who provided plenty of entertaining moments and interesting insights.
One of the highlights of the show was the discussion about stage names. James Corden playfully suggested that there could be two Cat Powers, to which the singer responded with a witty remark. The conversation then took a turn towards the famous musician Sting, with both James and Cat Power sharing their thoughts on his iconic name. They agreed that Sting‘s name should be passed down like the Pope, and Cat Power praised his intelligence.
The conversation didn’t stop there, as Reg shared his desire to be known as “The Edge” in the music industry. This led to a playful exchange between James Corden and Reg, jokingly suggesting that James should change his name to Bono. The banter continued, with Reg revealing the real name of Bono (Paul Houseton) and explaining the dynamics within the band.
But the fun didn’t end with the musicians. James and Reg reminisced about an encounter they had with Kanye West and The Edge at a U2 concert. Reg hilariously described how Kanye West came up with a spontaneous song and left him alone with The Edge, leading to an awkward and funny situation. It’s these real-life stories that make The Late Late Show with James Corden so engaging and relatable.
On a more serious note, the show also covered some recent news topics. James Corden humorously commented on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s threat to cancel the Senate’s October recess. He poked fun at the concept of recess and suggested that the Senate should use a different term for their time off.
The article also mentioned the new law in Los Angeles that requires proof of full COVID vaccination to enter certain indoor spaces. James Corden humorously mused about people who don’t believe in science and their potential difficulty in visiting places like the Natural History Museum.
In addition, the article highlighted the New York Public Library’s decision to eliminate late fees forever, poking fun at the idea that late fees were what deterred people from reading. James Corden playfully explained what a library is for the younger readers and emphasized the value of unlimited access to literature.
Turning to entertainment news, the article mentioned that Sir Paul McCartney grows cannabis on his farm in England but has to hide the plants to prevent local teens from stealing them. James Corden couldn’t resist making a few jokes and cleverly included references to McCartney’s famous songs.
The article concluded with a mention of “Fat Bear Week,” an internet sensation where people vote for their favorite hefty bear in Alaska. James Corden humorously expressed his desire to use the term “having a big fat bear week” to describe a rough period in his life.
