Last night, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” had another star-studded lineup that had viewers on the edge of their seats. Host James Corden welcomed some incredible guests to the show, including the talented actor and director Rebecca Hall, the highly acclaimed writer, director, and producer Adam McKay, and the Los Angeles Rams’ own Aaron Donald, who is not only an NFL superstar but also a Super Bowl champion.
Right from the start, Corden’s energy and charm set the tone for a lively and entertaining chat show. He introduced Rebecca Hall as “one of the most talented people on planet Earth” and Adam McKay as the mastermind behind hit films such as “Anchorman,” “Succession,” and “The Big Short.” James couldn’t contain his excitement about having Aaron Donald on the show, even though the football star had just finished a long day at the parade and might have looked a little worse for wear. But James happily shared that the reason he was thrilled to have his mom and dad, Margaret and Malcolm, in the audience was that they hadn’t been able to attend the show for two years.
As the show kicked off, Corden couldn’t contain his witty remarks about President Biden ordering the release of Donald Trump’s White House visitor logs to the January 6th committee. He jokingly speculated about Trump being worried and even pondered if Trump would be willing to show his tax returns too. The banter continued as Corden shared the news about Mark Zuckerberg’s company name change to Meta-Mates and hilariously compared it to having your data stolen rather than being called a Meta-Mate.
Corden’s playful banter with his parents added to the entertainment of the show, with lighthearted exchanges about mom getting her boobs done and the permission to remove masks while speaking to James. The audience couldn’t help but appreciate the candid conversations between Corden and his parents and their unapologetic humor.
In a surprising announcement, it was revealed that Viacom/CBS would now be known as Paramount Global, prompting Corden to humorously express his relief that the name change saga is finally over and he can proudly represent the company as the ambassador to South Korea. The audience loved Corden’s comical reaction to the name change and his dedication to his viewers, referring to himself as working for the American people rather than the ever-changing corporate entities.
Amidst all the fun, Corden dropped another bombshell, sharing that Paramount was making a feature-length animated film based on the infamous “Baby Shark” song. He couldn’t help but joke about it being like Jaws but with characters who actually want to die. The audience appreciated Corden’s ability to turn ordinary news into a comedic goldmine.
Keeping the laughter going, Corden delved into the unusual news of Libya holding its first-ever beauty pageant for chickens. The audience was treated to commentary and back-and-forth banter between Corden and his guests, culminating in a hilarious exchange about the festival of “beautiful cocks.”
As the show progressed, Corden finally welcomed the Super Bowl champion Aaron Donald to the stage. Despite having an eventful victory parade earlier that day, Donald was in high spirits and ready to continue the celebration. Corden couldn’t help but admire the football star’s muscles and playfully commented on how Donald never wears a shirt, earning roars of laughter from the audience.
Overall, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” was a delightful rollercoaster of humor and surprises. Corden’s ability to effortlessly engage his guests and the audience made for an entertaining episode that was anything but ordinary. From hilarious news commentary to candid conversations with his parents and the excitement of having a Super Bowl champion on set, the show proved once again why it is a must-watch for comedy lovers and talk show enthusiasts alike.
