The Late Late Show with James Corden is back, and they’re bringing the holiday spirit! In a recent episode, James Corden and his team celebrated the third night of Hanukkah with laughter and festive cheer. The talk show host and his guests shared their plans for the special occasion. From lighting the menorah to dancing to traditional Hanukkah songs, they were all ready to make the night memorable.
But that’s not all. This episode also marked their return after the Thanksgiving break, and James Corden wanted to know how everyone spent their time off. The crew shared their experiences, including Reggie‘s trip to Montana, which left James eager for more stories from Reggie.
The conversation then turned to Thanksgiving, and Dave shared his turkey troubles. Despite following James Corden‘s turkey recipe, Dave‘s turkey turned out to be a disappointment. In a humorous exchange, Dave admitted that he had even thrown the whole turkey away. It was a Thanksgiving disaster!
Moving on from turkey talk, the team discussed the latest news about the new Omicron coronavirus variant. James Corden wasn’t a fan of the name, comparing it to something Tom Cruise would have to face in a mission to save the world. The conversation led to some light-hearted banter about alternative names for the variant, like “The Snuggle.” They all agreed that they were grateful for being vaccinated and hoped for the best.
In another segment, James Corden brought up a recent ban in North Korea. Apparently, citizens are no longer allowed to wear leather coats due to similarities with dictator Kim Jong-un‘s signature look. James humorously compared Kim Jong-un‘s image to two kids trying to sneak into an R-rated movie. It was a lighthearted moment that added a touch of levity to the conversation.
The episode also mentioned Dr. Oz‘s announcement of running for a U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania. With his campaign strategy centered around weight loss, James Corden joked about the possibility of losing weight in the first thirty days if Dr. Oz was elected. The topic then transitioned to a fitness lawsuit involving Peloton and Lululemon, who were fighting over similar clothing designs. James Corden couldn’t help but make a comment about the toxic diet culture associated with both brands.
In a fun twist, the episode revealed the most popular pet names of 2021. And guess what? “Fauci” made the list! It seems some pet owners were inspired by the renowned doctor. Other popular names included “Zoom” and “Covid,” which prompted James Corden to jokingly question naming a dog after the virus.
The talk show also highlighted a study that suggested babies develop a sense of humor after just one month. James Corden indulged in some baby humor, imagining what goes on in a one-month-old’s mind. The segment ended with a funny mention of CBS’ made-up show, “Neonatal Sheldon.”
The show concluded on a heartfelt note as James Corden paid tribute to the late Stephen Sondheim. Stephen’s passing deeply impacted James, who had the privilege of working with him on the movie adaptation of “Into the Woods.” James Corden praised Stephen’s genius and encouraged viewers to explore his remarkable musical works.
