In a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, Fred Armisen made an appearance to talk about his documentary “Documentary Now.” The conversation turned to the subject of documentaries, and Corden asked Armisen what kind of documentary he would like to see that hasn’t been done before. Armisen humorously suggested a nature documentary where nothing bad happens to any of the animals, pointing out the often grim nature of real-life nature documentaries.
But the conversation quickly shifted to the news, as Corden introduced a segment on President Biden’s recent virtual campaign events. With less than two weeks until election day, Corden shared that experts are saying the momentum has shifted to Republicans. He playfully joked about Biden “phoning it in” by attending these virtual receptions through Zoom.
The Department of Justice also made headlines, as they asked a federal judge to force two of Donald Trump’s White House lawyers to testify in the January 6th probe. Corden quipped about Trump’s fear that their testimonies might make him look “too innocent.” He playfully referred to the situation as a group of lawyers asking another lawyer to make other lawyers testify in front of more lawyers, adding a touch of humor to the story.
Switching gears, Corden entertained his audience with some fun banter about Billy Joel‘s songs. The segment included snippets of different Billy Joel hits, inviting viewers to share their favorite songs. Corden’s own favorite turned out to be “Uptown Girl,” sparking a lighthearted discussion with the audience.
In a surprising turn, Corden mentioned that Elon Musk is apparently close to finalizing a deal to purchase Twitter. Corden playfully imagined the scenario of Musk’s assistant trying to figure out which sinks to bring for his quirky Twitter jokes, highlighting the eccentricity of the tech billionaire.
In a surprising discovery, Corden mentioned that adults under 30 are the most likely group to say they regularly get their news from TikTok. He lightheartedly commented that he hoped TikTok was just a cute name for the news show “60 Minutes,” alluding to the platform’s shorter video format.
Corden also shared a funny anecdote about Kim Kardashian parodying “House of the Dragon” in a sketch they filmed together. This led to a discussion about a woman in Ohio who paints giant pumpkins to look like celebrities. Corden revealed this year’s theme, which included a pumpkin depicting him and Kim Kardashian. He jokingly questioned if he should grow his hair out based on the resemblance.
The segment concluded with a humorous story from the United Kingdom, where a man claimed he was rejected for a job because his employer thought he had an erection during the interview. The man argued that it was just his large penis causing the misunderstanding. Corden playfully shared his skepticism about the story, suggesting it might not be a convincing excuse for not getting a job.
This entertaining episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden had viewers laughing along with the engaging banter and humorous takes on current news events. With its lively discussions and light-hearted commentary, the show continues to be a source of entertainment and laughs for its audience.
