In a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the host and his guests shared stories of their holiday breaks and kicked off the new year with some entertaining banter. Reggie, one of the show’s regulars, revealed that he had performed a couple of shows during the break, including one in Missoula, Montana. He also mentioned hanging out in Great Falls, Montana, and spending New Year’s Eve with just one friend.
Next, the attention turned to Karim, who enjoyed quality time with his fiancee in Chicago and Portland. He delightedly shared a photo on Ian’s Instagram of the charcuterie table he made during his break. The extravagant spread was covered in “mozzarella dust” and impressed everyone on the show.
Olivia, who had been absent at the end of the previous year, made her exciting return. It turns out she had a baby during her time away. James Corden playfully asked her about the size of her baby, and she humorously replied that she had actually passed it. Everyone rejoiced at Olivia‘s return and commended her for brightening up the new year.
The conversation on the show then shifted to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, and his viral photo taken on New Year’s Eve. Bezos was seen celebrating with his girlfriend, and the hosts joked about whether Bezos was wearing a shirt or had a tattoo on his chest.
The talk show also touched on some current events, such as the cancelation of more than 8,000 flights due to weather conditions and rising COVID cases among crew members. They poked fun at Spirit Airlines, referring to the cancelations as a typical Tuesday for the airline.
Another topic discussed was Twitter’s permanent suspension of Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account. Greene had repeatedly violated Twitter’s policy on coronavirus misinformation. The hosts jokingly remarked that she may have a “crazy-lite” account in Congress.
Dry January, a popular trend where individuals abstain from alcohol for the month, also made its way into the conversation. The hosts playfully commented on the benefits, including better sleep and weight loss, but couldn’t resist mentioning that powdered cocaine could be considered the driest alternative.
The show then touched on the annual list of overused phrases and words that should be banished. Phrases like “circle back” and “you’re on mute” were mentioned, leading to humorous suggestions for alternative phrases. They even jokingly included “Nick Bernstein phrases” in the banishment list, all while playfully teasing Nick for turning the conversation back to himself.
The episode concluded with a segment on a board game called “Election 2020, You Decide,” promoted by a former White House advisor to Donald Trump. The board game pushes baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, and the hosts humorously suggested that it should be called “Clue Anon.”
With lively banter, entertaining stories, and humorous commentary, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” certainly brought the entertainment factor in their first show back after the holiday break. Fans of the show can enjoy the full episode, which aired on an unspecified date.
