On a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the audience got a special treat when Elon Musk made an unexpected appearance. However, his reception was less than enthusiastic. As Corden introduced Musk, there was a noticeable chorus of boos from the audience. It seems that not everyone in the crowd was a fan of the billionaire entrepreneur.
But the night was not all about Musk’s reception. Corden also had some fun with his producers, Ben Winston and Rob Crabb. He received a Christmas tree decoration with the inscription “Rob” on it from one of them, sparking some comical banter on the show.
The conversation then shifted to a discussion about favorite Disney films. Corden revealed that his favorite is “Aladdin,” praising Robin Williams for his stellar voiceover work. Melissa McCarthy and Josh Groban also joined the show as special guests, discussing their involvement in the 30th-anniversary celebration of “Beauty and the Beast.”
Amid the playful conversation, Corden made jokes about President Biden’s approval ratings and the upcoming Avatar movie sequels that many people may not be eagerly anticipating. He also mentioned Elon Musk‘s recent relaunch of Twitter Blue, where users can pay for a blue check mark. Corden humorously suggested that Musk could improve Twitter by selling it to someone who knows what they’re doing.
But the highlight of the episode was when Dave Chappelle invited Elon Musk on stage during a show in San Francisco. The audience’s reaction was not what Musk might have hoped for, as they responded with a resounding boo. Corden jokingly suggested that they were actually saying “Twitter blue.”
In other news, a London art gallery briefly caused a stir when police were called to check on a sculpture that appeared to be a person in distress. It turned out to be an artwork depicting a woman sitting with her head on a desk. Corden also shared the story of antique jeans from an 1857 shipwreck that sold for a staggering $114,000 at auction, and a unique opportunity for “Lord of the Rings” fans to stay in a hobbit hole on the New Zealand set of the movies.
The episode was a mix of lighthearted banter, unexpected moments, and quirky news stories. While Elon Musk may have faced some jeers from the audience, it was all in good fun. As always, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” brought its signature blend of entertainment and humor to viewers worldwide.
