In a recent episode of “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the talk show host showcased a new late-night look that had everyone talking. As Corden took the stage, he greeted the audience and asked their opinion on his outfit for the night. He seemed thrilled with his new look, describing himself as a “sexy hip man.” This was a departure from his usual attire, as he appeared tie-less, much to the shock of his colleague Robbie.
It turns out that Corden’s decision to ditch the tie was inspired by Seth Rogen, who had appeared on the show the previous night. Corden jokingly shared that Seth’s presence had given him the confidence to assert his independence and embrace his own style. With a self-assured attitude, he confidently announced, “You’re not gonna tell me what to do, man.”
However, the new look seemed to be met with mixed reactions. Some audience members compared Corden’s appearance to a funeral director or even a funeral director for people who died while having sex. Regardless of the criticism, Corden remained unfazed, boldly stating, “This is how we’re dressed tonight. You gonna deal with it. What are they gonna do, fire me?”
After the entertaining banter, Corden transitioned into the news segment. He covered a significant development in Dominion voting system’s defamation trial against Fox News. Dominion had accused Fox News of promoting conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election. To the surprise of many, both parties settled, with Fox News agreeing to pay Dominion a staggering $787 million.
Never one to miss an opportunity for a joke, Corden quipped, “Dominion is getting laid tonight,” highlighting the substantial financial gain resulting from the settlement. He added, “There’s a price to pay for lying to the American people, and if you can afford that price, go for it.”
Corden didn’t stop there; he playfully speculated on how he would spend such a massive sum, asking his guest Ian, “What’s the first thing you’d buy if you settled a case for $800 million?” Their humorous conversation included jet skis, vacation homes, boats, and even buying commercial time on Fox News to showcase Ian‘s extravagant adventures.
Shifting gears, Corden shared an amusing news story about the city of Kyle, Texas, attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people with the same name. Corden expressed his delight and humorously mentioned how this would surpass any previous records set at Dave Matthews concerts. As Corden and Ian bonded over their unique names, they playfully imagined a similar gathering for Ians.
The humorous and lively banter continued as Corden praised Ian, who has found success in show business despite the challenges associated with the name. Corden recalled their first meeting, where he warned Ian about the difficulties of pursuing a career in show business with an unusual name. However, Ian‘s accomplishments proved that he had overcome these obstacles.
Lastly, Corden shared a bizarre news story about a man who was arrested for running an illegal dental practice out of a hotel room. Authorities discovered a fully equipped setup, complete with dental drills and an x-ray machine. Corden made light of the situation, joking that hotels were now catering to dental patients by opening a new chain called Molotel.
As the segment concluded, Corden teased the upcoming episode with the popular K-pop group Blackpink, promising an entertaining carpool karaoke session.
With his signature charm and wit, James Corden proved once again why “The Late Late Show” remains a hit among late-night talk shows. His ability to entertain his audience while discussing a wide range of topics, from fashion to news stories, keeps viewers engaged throughout each episode.
