On a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the audience was treated to an unforgettable moment when the conversation turned to a text message disaster. The chat show host welcomed Ian, who had recently returned from his honeymoon, to the stage. James couldn’t help but ask about Ian‘s vacation, wondering if anything exciting had happened. Ian enthusiastically shared that he and his new spouse had spent their time relaxing on the beach, drinking pina coladas, and indulging in lobster.
However, James couldn’t help but tease Ian about a missed phone call. He revealed that he and the show’s team had tried to reach Ian during his honeymoon, but to no avail. Ian defended himself by saying he was in the pool and hadn’t heard the phone ring. James playfully pointed out that it would have been ideal for Ian to answer the call while swimming in the pool.
As the conversation moved on, Ian mentioned that he had visited a store called Barbecues Galore in Pasadena. He excitedly shared about his love for grilling and the various barbecue paraphernalia he had purchased. James couldn’t help but joke about Ian‘s obsession, saying that as long as Barbecues Galore existed, Ian would always have a friend in Manny, the store’s employee who had given Ian a discount.
Moving on to the news segment, James discussed Donald Trump’s refusal to leave the White House after losing the election. He humorously compared the situation to his own reaction when faced with an 11 a.m. checkout time at a hotel, joking that he simply refuses to leave. James then turned his attention to Prince Charles, who had recently taken the name King Charles III. He jokingly remarked that the name change had ruined the popular TV series Game of Thrones.
In another news story, James mentioned that British authorities were asking mourners not to leave marmalade sandwiches outside Buckingham Palace as part of a makeshift memorial. James humorously admitted that he couldn’t resist the idea of free sandwiches lying around. He suggested that if anyone wanted to honor the queen while in Los Angeles, they should leave a turkey club with Applewood smoked bacon outside Television City.
Finally, James discussed the new feature of the iPhone operating system iOS 16, which allows users to unsend and edit text messages. He playfully remarked that this feature would save users from embarrassing typos. James even shared his own experience of receiving a typo-filled text from Tom Cruise, which Tom later deleted.
To conclude the segment, James asked Ian about his biggest texting disaster. Ian shared a hilarious story of a misunderstanding with a girl he had met and exchanged numbers with. Ian mistakenly thought she had sent a suggestive text, prompting him to respond in kind. It turned out that Ian had actually sent the text to himself from the girl’s phone as a joke. The audience erupted in laughter as Ian revealed that the girl had clarified she wasn’t interested in him sexually or otherwise.
As always, The Late Late Show with James Corden delivered a night of laughter and entertaining conversations. Fans of the show and lovers of celebrity interviews were surely enthralled by the lively banter and humorous stories shared on the episode.
