The Late Late Show with James Corden never fails to bring excitement and laughter to its viewers, and the recent episode was no exception. The lively banter between James Corden and Reggie Watts kept the energy high throughout the show.
It all started with James and Reggie discussing the “fun vibe” in the room. Reggie suggested it was a “fibe,” and James joked that it was a “foob.” The playful banter continued as they debated the meaning of a “fub” and eventually settled on the fact that it was just a “fun vibe.” The whole exchange was filled with laughter and light-heartedness.
Once the initial hilarity settled down, James shared a funny anecdote about his former roommate, Dominic Cooper. They had contemplated starting a company together, and James came up with the idea of combining the first two letters of Dominic’s last name with the last four letters of his own last name. However, it took Dominic two days to figure it out, which made James reconsider their partnership. It was a humorous tale that showcased James’s wit.
The conversation then turned to their guest, Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. James was curious about Johnny’s antics during his younger days and whether he ever tried to impress his friends with dangerous stunts. Reggie chimed in, recalling how he and his friends used to have Roman candle fights, shooting fireworks at each other. However, James quickly cautioned against such activities, emphasizing the potential dangers involved.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when James mentioned his own high school daredevilry, called “hedge hopping.” He and his friends would jump into people’s hedges, leaving noticeable human-shaped marks. It became so widespread that the school principal had to address the issue in an assembly, urging everyone to stop the “hedge hopping” trend. Reggie shared a similar but slightly darker version of their childhood shenanigans, where they would push their friends into hedges instead, renaming it “bullying.”
Moving on from the playful reminiscing, James turned to some current news. The announcement of Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback, retiring from the NFL took center stage. James playfully speculated about Tom Brady’s future endeavors, jokingly suggesting he might want to become a Supreme Court justice. He couldn’t help but make references to Brady’s age and lack of traditional work experience, humorously tying it all back to Florida.
The talk show then delved into international affairs, with a mention of Russia’s troop buildup on the Ukrainian border. James highlighted President Biden’s assurance that the United States is ready for any situation, but humorously added the caveat that Congress might slow down the process. The discussion continued with a reference to the torn White House documents handed over to the January 6 committee, drawing on Donald Trump’s reputation for tearing things up. James playfully attributed it to Trump’s constantly gesturing hand movements.
Taking a lighter turn, James shared a study that claimed Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” was the safest song to listen to while driving. He couldn’t help but express his skepticism, suggesting that the catchy tune might actually make drivers want to put the foot down. The humorous debate led to reminiscing about instances when you encounter someone on the road who sang along to their favorite song, unbeknownst to them that their windows were down.
The show ended with some intriguing tidbits, including the potential launch of the world’s first all-electric passenger aircraft and KFC’s unique Valentine’s Day gift, a three-foot-tall pillow shaped like their famous fried chicken sandwich. James made sarcastic comments about the supply chain and humorously critiqued the photo, claiming that no one would smile that much while hugging a giant chicken sandwich pillow.
In true Late Late Show fashion, the episode was filled with laughter, funny anecdotes, and entertaining discussions. The chemistry between James Corden and Reggie Watts kept the audience engaged throughout, making it another unforgettable night on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
