On a recent episode of the popular chat show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, host James Corden received quite the surprising Christmas gift. As the segment unfolded, Corden was presented with a little dog sporting sunglasses and a pot of coins. In a lighthearted moment, Corden jokingly suggested feeding the dog some coins, to which the audience erupted in laughter and applause.
However, the humor quickly took a cheeky turn as Corden pointed out a hidden feature of the dog. He turned the dog around to reveal what appeared to be a rather large and explicit (bleeped out) anatomical part. The audience responded with a mixture of shock and amusement, and Corden playfully teased the person responsible for the gift, calling them a “sick man.”
After this unexpected doggie interlude, Corden moved on to discuss some more serious news of the day. The House of Representatives was expected to hold Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, in contempt of Congress for failing to cooperate with the January 6th investigation. Corden humorously acknowledged that despite this charge being considered as one of the most shameful, many people might struggle to recall who Mark Meadows is in the first place.
Mocking the lack of familiarity, Corden humorously suggested picturing Meadows in our minds, only to highlight the difficulty of conjuring up an image, saying, “you can’t. Nothing.” Corden then proceeded to joke about his lack of recognition for Meadows, even suggesting that he wouldn’t recognize him even if they bumped into each other at Walmart.
As the segment continued, Corden dived into the revelations that Meadows received numerous texts during the Capitol riot, including messages from Fox News hosts, Republican lawmakers, and even Donald Trump Jr. Urging him to intervene and stop the violence. Corden light-heartedly joked about receiving texts but not responding, comparing it to his own experiences with texts and trivial matters.
Switching gears, Corden turned his attention to a recently released study that compared intelligence test scores between aerospace engineers, neurosurgeons, and the general population. He humorously pointed out that the study results debunked the notion that rocket scientists and brain surgeons are inherently smarter than the average person. In his trademark comedic style, Corden quipped that the Shania Twain Institute of “That Don’t Impress Me Much” conducted the study, highlighting the absence of rocket science and brain surgery on the test.
In a hilarious anecdote, Corden shared his struggle to help his son with math homework, humorously illustrating his confusion over various lines, tiny numbers, and the overall complexity of the subject. He joked about the questionable practicality of such advanced math skills in daily life.
Wrapping up the segment, Corden shared a heartwarming story of a family in South Africa who discovered a highly venomous snake in their Christmas tree. Their cat, being the hero of the day, alerted the family to the unwelcome guest. Corden took a playful shot at the popular holiday tradition of Elf on the Shelf for not doing or saying anything, contrasting it with the cat’s commendable vigilance.
As the segment came to a close, Corden teased the upcoming guest, Dwyane Wade, and the basketball game to follow. The Late Late Show with James Corden continues to deliver an entertaining blend of humor and current events, ensuring that audiences stay engaged and entertained night after night.
