In a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the host and his guest, Carmel, discussed the fate of Carmel‘s Corner. The conversation took an interesting turn as they delved into the reasons behind the show’s disappearance and the potential opportunities that were missed.
During the show, Corden and Carmel bantered about various topics in a lively manner. They covered significant news events, such as President Biden signing a 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure package into law. Corden humorously pointed out the need for a larger signing desk, given the colossal amount of money involved. They also touched on former White House adviser Steve Bannon’s indictment for criminal contempt and his future plans if he goes to prison.
The discussion then veered towards the rise of scams targeting Americans, including the recent hacking of the FBI’s email system. Corden jokingly expressed his disappointment that the enticing offers for hot single FBI agents turned out to be fake. The conversation transitioned to Corden sharing his experience with receiving numerous scam calls and text messages from an unlikely location – Redondo Beach.
In a hilarious moment, Corden expressed his sympathy for individuals who are genuinely trying to contact him with revolutionary ways to enhance one’s anatomy. He pondered how these companies advertising such products could possibly thrive without a door-to-door marketing strategy, given the sensitive nature of their offerings. It was in this context that Corden made a lighthearted mention of Carmel‘s Corner.
However, a tinge of regret filled the air as Corden and Carmel revealed the demise of Carmel‘s Corner. They hinted at some miscommunication and a missed opportunity to partner with a big company, which turned out to be the International House of Pancakes (IHOP). Although it was unclear what exactly happened, the excitement of potential sponsorship from IHOP was quickly dashed, leaving small businesses in the dust.
As the conversation continued, Corden and Carmel explored various topics, including the resumption of selling hard liquor on United Airlines flights, with a comical mention of Spirit Airlines continuing to offer beer, wine, and the option to huff paint thinner. Corden joked about the angry email he received from Spirit Airlines following a previous joke about the airline and contemplated responding with a witty reply.
In closing, Corden showcased a luxury goods company’s extravagant creation, a $9,000 version of the iPhone 13 Pro Max dubbed the “Tirano Phone.” The phone featured a 3D image of a dinosaur head, an amber eye, and a fragment of an 80-million-year-old T-Rex tooth. Corden amused the audience with a quip about the potential fate of such a unique item, suggesting it may end up dropped in a toilet after surviving millions of years.
Although it remains unclear why Carmel‘s Corner disappeared, the lively banter and humorous anecdotes kept the audience entertained throughout this segment of The Late Late Show with James Corden.
