Nicole Byer, better known as Whoopi Goldberg, proved that she has a knack for DIY on a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” The transcript from the show reveals that Nicole has developed a strong obsession with Instagram DIYs, taking her newfound passion to new heights.
During the interview, James Corden asked Nicole how far her obsession with DIY has gone. Nicole admitted that it has gone quite far, even to the extent of attempting to put up her own wallpaper. However, her DIY skills left much to be desired, with gaps, bumps, and bubbles ruining her efforts.
Despite her lack of expertise, Nicole’s determination to try her hand at various DIY projects stems from her background as an actor. She humorously suggested that her ability to believe she’s the best in a room full of identical actors might be bordering on delusion. However, when it comes to DIY, she readily admits her shortcomings.
Nicole shared a funny anecdote about her failed attempt to paint her guest room. She bought the paint and brushes, but quickly realized she had no idea how to begin the process. She expressed her confusion about what to do with the brushes and how to wash them, hilariously considering whether to wash them in the kitchen sink where food goes or in the bathroom sink where she washes her delicate face.
Despite her challenges, Nicole embraces the idea of attempting DIY projects herself rather than hiring skilled professionals. She admitted that the cost-saving aspect appeals to her, especially since she enjoys watching her bank account grow. However, she understands that there are ups and downs in life, and sometimes her wallpaper falls down along with it.
In the interview, James Corden also discussed Nicole’s career, highlighting her role as Brenda in the hit series “Ted Lasso.” He playfully listed some of Nicole’s earlier credits, including roles like sketchy dude, tweaker in a sex addiction group, lead clown, creepy van guy, and morgue attendant. Corden teasingly asked Nicole why people would look at her and go, “we found him,” implying that she has a natural talent for playing characters that make people feel safe.
Nicole humorously responded that although there are five different actors in a waiting room auditioning for the same roles, she is confident in her ability to stand out as the morgue attendant, should the opportunity arise. She believes her unique presence exudes a sense of trust that casting directors recognize.
Apart from her acting career, Nicole is also an incredibly busy individual. She engages in improv, hosts four podcasts, and appears on the show “Nailed It.” Additionally, she proudly mentions her involvement in the upcoming sitcom “Grand Crew.” Given her jam-packed schedule, James Corden inquired about her time management skills.
Nicole’s advice for those struggling with managing their time is twofold: get an assistant and change your email address to someone more famous. She hilariously revealed that her email address has been Whoopi Goldberg for the past decade. By using this tactic, people respond to her messages faster, thinking they are corresponding with the famous actor herself.
To add to the fun, Nicole also mentioned that her Zoom name is also Whoopi Goldberg. This clever trick gives her a moment of surprise whenever she logs into a call, as people initially think they are about to interact with the legendary actress. Yet, they quickly realize it’s Nicole Byer instead. She jokingly wonders if Whoopi Goldberg herself knows about this amusing email and Zoom name switcheroo.
All in all, Nicole Byer, aka Whoopi Goldberg, showcased her DIY streak on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” Despite her humorous attempts and inevitable fails at various DIY projects, she maintains a sense of humor and continues to embrace the ups and downs of life. With her unmatched sense of humor and entertaining presence, Nicole Byer continues to captivate audiences with her multitude of talents.
