On a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” actress Cristin Milioti shared some interesting insights about her desire to be a part of a group called the Madrigals in her school. Despite being a talented singer, Milioti was unable to join the choir. During her hilarious interview with Corden, she described the Madrigals as a group that resembled characters from Renaissance fairs, complete with cone-shaped hats, turkey legs, and harmonizing voices.
Milioti couldn’t quite explain her fascination with being a Madrigal, but she admitted that she was desperate to join the group. Unfortunately, her audition attempts were unsuccessful, and she jokingly blamed it on not having the right “turkey leg energy.” Corden and Milioti laughed about the absurdity of the Madrigals and their unconventional performances.
The conversation then shifted to Milioti’s experience in a college singing group called the RocaPellas, which she described as a less glamorous version of “Glee” without the romantic entanglements. The RocaPellas would cover pop songs and occasionally sing socially relevant songs, which Milioti humorously acknowledged might not have been the best choice for college fraternity boys.
As the interview continued, Milioti revealed that her grandmother was once a part of the Ice Capades, a traveling ice show that featured elaborately costumed performers. However, despite her family’s connection to ice skating, Milioti admitted that she never quite got the hang of it. She recalled being too afraid of falling and potentially losing her teeth to enjoy ice skating or other risky activities like skiing.
Interestingly, Milioti also shared that she didn’t have a television growing up due to her parents’ belief that it rotted the brain. Instead, she spent her Saturdays at the library, secretly wishing she could watch TV like her friends. Milioti joked that her lack of television as a child might explain her current obsession with it.
The interview concluded with a discussion about Milioti’s latest project, a hit show called “The Resort.” She plays the character Emma in the series, which starts as a murder mystery but evolves into something much bigger, blending various genres like rom-com, action, and more. Milioti discussed her love for doing stunts, even though she admitted to having a stunt double for certain scenes. She also expressed her excitement about recently taking on directing responsibilities and getting to create thrilling moments for others.
Milioti’s interview with James Corden was filled with laughter and anecdotes, providing fans with a delightful insight into her life and career. From her fascination with the Madrigals to her experiences in college singing groups and her family’s ice skating background, Milioti’s journey in the entertainment industry is as entertaining as her acting talent.
