In a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the talk show host was joined by special guest Nick Bernstein. The duo engaged in a lively conversation that covered everything from reality TV shows to fashion choices. However, the highlight of the show was when they discussed the latest trend in dipping sauces for McNuggets at McDonald’s.
As the conversation shifted towards food, Corden asked Bernstein about his go-to dipping sauce for McNuggets. In a surprising twist, Bernstein mentioned ketchup as his favorite. Corden quickly corrected him, stating that ketchup is a condiment, not a dipping sauce. The exchange sparked a debate between the two, with Corden asserting that true McNugget dipping sauces include barbecue, tangy barbecue, ranch, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and buffalo.
The conversation took an amusing turn when Bernstein attempted to add a seventh sauce, referencing a co-sponsored sauce by Rick and Morty that led to riots. Corden, unfazed by his confusion, jokingly questioned Bernstein’s knowledge of McDonald’s dipping sauces, playfully remarking that he sounded like a former employee.
The banter continued as they discussed the number of dipping sauces and the possibility of nailiing down the correct count. Eventually, they settled on six sauces, excluding ketchup. Corden, however, snuck ketchup back into the selection, leading to further confusion and witty retorts from both parties.
Aside from the dipping sauce debate, Corden also covered other entertaining topics during the episode. He discussed medical research that suggests first-time fathers may experience brain shrinkage after their partners give birth. This amusing revelation prompted humorous speculations about fathers becoming “dumber” to better connect with their babies.
Additionally, Corden mentioned a city-wide shortage of feather bowers in New York City due to Harry Styles’ current 15-night residency at Madison Square Garden. Apparently, fans of the musician have been buying up all the feather boas in town, causing a supply chain issue and even eliciting a tongue-in-cheek request for Elton John to “shelter in place.”
These humorous and engaging conversations were just a taste of the entertaining content showcased on The Late Late Show with James Corden. From celebrity interviews to witty banter, the show continues to captivate audiences with its lively and amusing episodes.
