The Late Late Show with James Corden recently had a hilarious segment discussing the disappearance of jolly cowboys in movies. The talk show host, James Corden, engaged in a dialogue with his guests, highlighting this noticeable absence.
The conversation began with Taika Waititi‘s new show, which focuses on a man leaving his comfortable life to become a pirate. The guests expressed their belief that pirates are underserved in the film industry. James Corden quickly agreed, humorously adding that the film industry had a big zombie phase and might soon move on to pirates for the next ten years.
Then came the question: What happened to cowboys on the big screen? The guests simply responded with a straightforward answer: dead. James Corden continued to ask where all the jolly cowboys had gone, to which the guests replied with a resounding “yeah.” It was evident that no cowboys were having a good time on film anymore.
One guest pondered the representation of cowboys, which seemed to be dwindling. They mentioned meeting real-life cowboys who were out there having a blast, riding horses, lassoing things, walking around, spitting in cups, and simply enjoying life. However, they couldn’t recall a recent film that portrayed a jolly cowboy since Woody from Toy Story.
James Corden and the guests expressed their desire for walking cowboys, whistling tunes and having a carefree spirit. They humorously pointed out that even in the movie “Power of the Dog,” there was no whistling and the banjo music made it even darker.
The conversation continued with different suggestions for jolly cowboy movies from the guests. One suggestion was “Blazing Saddles,” which led to a funny reaction from James Corden. They also mentioned Woody from Toy Story, emphasizing his jolly nature despite facing various tragedies.
The guests highlighted a few other movies like “Three Amigos” and even “Brokeback Mountain,” which had moments of levity and showcased cowboys having a good time. Despite these examples, jolly cowboys seemed to be a rarity in contemporary cinema.
Nearing the end of the segment, James Corden brought up the importance of their discussion but quickly transitioned to news updates. The article then briefly mentions President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech to the European Union Parliament and President Biden’s State of the Union address before concluding with humorous snippets about Senator Joni Ernst’s visual aide and the increased sensitivity to noise since the pandemic started.
In conclusion, The Late Late Show with James Corden tackled the absence of jolly cowboys in movies in a humorous and engaging segment. Both the talk show host and his guests shared their thoughts and reminisced about the joyous portrayal of cowboys in the past. Although the segment primarily focused on entertainment, it transitioned smoothly to news updates, showcasing the show’s versatility and variety of content.
