On the latest episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the talk show host greeted his audience with his usual charm and wit. He acknowledged that it was the night before Thanksgiving and that the atmosphere in the studio was quite lively. It seemed like a few people had already indulged in a couple of drinks, including James himself.
James jokingly mentioned that he had asked one of his colleagues what they were drinking, and the response was whiskey ginger. However, there seemed to be some confusion as the colleague sent a text expressing disapproval due to “Ernie’s note.” James wondered what this note was all about, as he had never heard of Ernie before.
Before diving into the guest lineup for the night, James took a moment to appreciate a legendary actor who was about to join them on the show. Jeff Goldblum, known for his iconic role in “Independence Day,” was praised for his heroic acts in saving the world from an alien invasion. James couldn’t help but feel that Goldblum’s contribution to the movie often went overlooked.
The conversation took a humorous turn, with jokes about Will Smith and Randy Quaid, who also starred in “Independence Day.” It became clear that the discussion had strayed off-topic, as James pointed out that they usually stick to a precise schedule. Nevertheless, the show always promises entertaining moments.
And speaking of entertainment, the guest lineup for the night didn’t disappoint. Caitriona Balfe, known for her roles in “Outlander” and “Ford v Ferrari,” graced the stage. James joked about her possibly breaking Ernie’s rules regarding drinks in the workplace.
Another guest, Canadian comedian Sophie Buddle, brought her unique humor to the show. James playfully suggested that she could offer drugs to the other guests through a secret door that connected her room to Jeff Goldblum‘s room, making everyone laugh.
As the conversation continued, the topic shifted to Thanksgiving plans. James asked his band leader, Reggie Watts, about his plans in Montana, to which Reggie responded with a witty remark about attending Thanksgiving dinners with his mother, as always. Ian Karmel, another member of the show, expressed his excitement for a grand Thanksgiving event in Oregon, where he intended to put gravy on everything from apple pie to water.
The banter continued, with James playfully teasing Nick, the show’s producer, about his unpredictable behavior. The hosts and guests shared their Thanksgiving plans, ranging from staying at friends’ houses to looking up traditional recipes.
To conclude the episode, James shared his secret recipe for a perfect turkey, providing step-by-step instructions and tips. His enthusiasm for Thanksgiving was evident, and the audience couldn’t help but be impressed by his culinary expertise.
As Thanksgiving approached, the episode of “The Late Late Show” perfectly captured the festive spirit. With a mix of humor, celebrity interviews, and Thanksgiving preparations, James Corden and his guests set the stage for a memorable holiday.
