On a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the host revealed that he had finally watched an episode of the highly popular show Game of Thrones. Corden, who had previously avoided the series, decided to give it a try after hearing rave reviews from friends and learning that some of the spin-off series is being shot in Britain.
Corden’s excitement was palpable as he shared his experience with the audience. “I watched the Game of Thrones spin-off, House of Dragons,” he exclaimed. When his guest, co-head writer Lauren Greenberg, asked if he enjoyed it, Corden replied with enthusiasm, “I did not see that coming! I was really hoping you were going to say you watched Selling OC, so we would have something to talk about.”
Greenberg then explained that Selling OC is a new reality show about real estate agents in Orange County. Corden, however, remained focused on his newfound love for Game of Thrones. He described it as a “big moment” for him and expressed his surprise at enjoying it despite never having watched an episode before.
The conversation then shifted to the popularity of Game of Thrones and Corden’s late arrival to the fanbase. Greenberg joked about people’s surprise when they find out that Corden hadn’t seen the show. “For the last seven years, people have been like, ‘What? You never watched Game of Thrones?’ And now I feel like I’ve gone out on a limb and said I enjoyed it,” Corden shared.
While Greenberg suggested that Corden should watch the first episode, he shrugged it off, confident that he understood the essence of the show. “I don’t think I need to go back and watch episode one. I get it,” he affirmed.
Corden then transitioned into his comedic role as a talk show host and announced that it was time to move on to the news. He shared the results of a new poll indicating that Bernie Sanders had the highest favorability rating among potential 2024 presidential contenders, with Joe Biden and Donald Trump tying for second place. Corden expressed sympathy for Sanders, likening him to the “nice guy in high school who always ends up getting friend-zoned.”
The talk show host continued with the news, discussing Donald Trump’s social media app, Truth Social, and its reported financial issues. Corden quipped, “Look, it’s 2022. If you willingly do work with a Trump business, the problem’s you. You knew what was gonna happen.” He jokingly suggested that Trump offer classified documents as an alternative to payment.
As the segment came to a close, Corden returned to his lighthearted banter with Greenberg, sharing a funny anecdote about a stolen photograph that had been replaced with a fake. The audience laughed along as the show teased upcoming guests and went to a commercial break.
This episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden was a delightful mix of entertainment and humor. Corden’s genuine enthusiasm for Game of Thrones and his witty commentary on current affairs made for an engaging and enjoyable watch. With Corden at the helm, viewers can always expect an entertaining and lively chat show experience.
