On a recent episode of the talk show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, actor Anthony Anderson made a couple of exciting announcements that had the audience cheering. First off, Anderson revealed that he and his wife are expecting their fourth child, and it’s a girl! The crowd erupted in applause as he shared the joyous news.
But that’s not all – Anderson also disclosed that he had just graduated from Howard University after a whopping 30 years. The audience couldn’t contain their excitement as they applauded his accomplishment. Anderson went on to explain that he had initially taken a leave of absence from college due to financial constraints but had always intended to return. However, life got in the way with marriage, children, and a booming career. It was his son being accepted into Howard University that inspired him to finally fulfill his dream of graduating.
To celebrate this significant milestone, Anderson even brought along his degree on the show. As he opened it up, he discovered a surprise message inside that said, “Congratulations, Bison!” The audience and Anderson erupted in laughter and applause, appreciating the lightheartedness of the sweet gesture.
The talk show took an exciting turn when the conversation shifted to Anderson’s upcoming plans. He revealed that he would be heading out on a massive tour in the United Kingdom soon, starting in London. Astonishingly, Anderson mentioned that he and Corden’s father, Malcolm, actually text more often than he and Corden do. This revelation brought smiles and laughter from the audience.
As the discussion continued, Anderson expressed his eagerness to meet up with Malcolm during his time in London and even invited him to join him on stage. The fondness between Anderson and Malcolm was evident, and it’s clear that they share a special bond.
However, the actor couldn’t help but joke about his dad’s fondness for Malcolm. Anderson mentioned how his dad had once posted a photo of the three of them on Instagram but cropped Anderson out, captioning it, “I’ll never forget this day.” The audience erupted in laughter at the cheeky move.
Anderson also shared an amusing anecdote about his mother, highlighting her decision to skip his graduation and instead opt for a bingo night. This wasn’t the first time she had chosen bingo over a significant event in Anderson’s life. Previously, she had turned down an invitation to hang out with former President Obama at the White House. Anderson playfully admitted that he’s still trying to win her over.
Lastly, Anderson discussed his return to the television show Law & Order after a 12-year hiatus. He revealed that as soon as he heard about the show’s revival, he reached out to the executive producer, Dick Wolf, to express his interest in returning. The stars aligned perfectly, as Anderson wrapped up his work on Blackish, and just a few days later, he found himself on the set of Law & Order filming the first episode.
It was an exciting and eventful episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, filled with joyful announcements, surprises, and humorous anecdotes. Anthony Anderson‘s graduation and upcoming ventures left the audience eagerly anticipating what’s next for the talented actor.
