Celebrities Amy Adams and Maya Rudolph recently appeared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” where they engaged in witty banter and shared some interesting insights. The episode, which aired on an undisclosed date, showcased the immense talent and camaraderie of the guests.
Host James Corden kicked off the conversation by expressing his gratitude for having such talented guests on his show. The trio discussed their Thanksgiving plans and signature dishes, with Amy expressing her excitement about making pies and Maya sharing her expertise in making popovers, a savory puff pastry similar to a Yorkshire pudding.
The conversation then shifted to Amy’s recent experience at Disneyland, where she got to try the Rise of the Resistance ride. She expressed her gratitude for being able to revisit her childhood and gushed about the immersive Star Wars-themed experience. James playfully suggested that Amy should pretend to be in the movie during her next ride, to which she entertained the idea of jumping off the ride and surprising fellow riders.
The discussion took an amusing turn as James and Maya revealed that both of them had auditioned for roles that their co-star, Adina Menzel, had landed. Amy auditioned for Adina’s part in the movie adaptation of “Rent,” but admitted that her singing skills weren’t a match for Adina’s. Maya, on the other hand, auditioned for a Disney animated film, which later turned out to be “Frozen.” She humorously shared that she sang Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” during the audition, reflecting on how fitting it would have been for Elsa in rehab.
The conversation then shifted to Amy’s upcoming movie, “Disenchanted,” a sequel to the beloved film “Enchanted” after a 15-year hiatus. Amy enthusiastically shared that her daughter had a cameo in the movie. Due to strict COVID-19 protocols, Amy had to officially invite her daughter on set, and her daughter delivered a remarkable performance while also showing an unexpected talent for continuity.
The discussion wrapped up with James and Amy discussing her role as Malvina Monroe, the new character she portrays in “Disenchanted.” Describing the character as a queen bee real estate agent, Amy revealed that Malvina doesn’t get along with Giselle, Amy’s character, leading to great conflict in the movie. The conversation concluded with a lighthearted discussion about favorite Disney villains, with Amy acknowledging her character’s resemblance to the iconic Cruella de Vil.
Throughout the show, the chemistry and harmonizing capabilities of the guests were evident. Maya revealed that they harmonized frequently on set, with Amy taking the lead melody and Maya providing the harmony. James playfully encouraged them to try harmonizing on the spot, and they proceeded to harmonize phrases like “steamed broccoli” and “colonoscopy,” impressing both the audience and the viewers at home.
Although the exact air date of this episode is undisclosed, it surely provided an entertaining and lively experience for all those who were fortunate enough to witness the incredible talent and camaraderie of Amy Adams, Maya Rudolph, and James Corden on “The Late Late Show.”
