On the latest episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the beloved talk show host, James Corden, shared some updates about his week off. He kicked off the show by asking his co-host, Reggie Watts, what he had been up to. Reggie revealed that he had spent his time off in Montana with his mother and later went to New York for a show.
When James asked Reggie about his recent battle with COVID-19, Reggie admitted that he had contracted the virus and shared his dislike for the lack of attention the topic received. He highlighted the importance of using their platform to discuss the impact of the virus. James jokingly mentioned that they went suit shopping for their friend Carl’s wedding, emphasizing that he sweated through every shirt but received no comments from the staff.
Moving on to the news segment, James brought up the recent celebration of Queen Elizabeth II‘s Platinum Jubilee in the United Kingdom. He humorously compared the difficulties the Queen faced post-celebration, joking that she had to wander around with a hangover, picking up 50,000 red Solo cups. James explained to his American audience what the Platinum Jubilee represented, celebrating 70 years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign.
As the conversation continued, James playfully asked Reggie if he had prepared a monologue filled with jokes about the Queen. Reggie joked that perhaps it wasn’t the time to make fun of the monarch. However, they went on to discuss the various highlights of the Jubilee celebration. They touched on Queen Elizabeth’s appearance with Paddington Bear and joked about Prince Charles being chased by raptors from Jurassic Park.
James couldn’t help but share his experience driving through Santa Monica during Pride celebrations, recalling the amusing sights he and his family saw along the way. He then mentioned the musical performances during the Jubilee, which included a lively rendition of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” by Brian May. They also laughed about the unconventional use of lighted drones to create images of a giant corgi and a teapot in the sky.
One of the most memorable moments from the Jubilee was Prince Louis, the Queen’s great-grandson, stealing the show with his adorable antics. James jokingly compared Prince Louis‘ mischievous behavior to that of their own Louis, a reference to his co-host Reggie. They concluded the news segment with Apple’s announcement of new software features, including the ability to edit or delete sent messages, which sparked some humorous remarks from James.
As always, James delivered a light-hearted and entertaining episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” leaving viewers eagerly awaiting his return after the break.
