James Corden said goodbye to late night television yesterday. But before he signed off from The Late Late Show, he was visited by the Ghosts of Late Night Present: Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon in his bedroom.
They instructed him that he cannot share the late night secrets with the world. But, they also showed him a glimpse of his future, thanks to the Ghost of Late Night Past, David Letterman.
And if that was not enough, we got a glimpse of what his life will be like in six months. And he is not going to be alone because Trevor Noah got visited by the same Ghosts.
This was a brilliant idea, and I am happy they all agreed to do it. But I have one question, where was Conan O’Brien???
Tonight is the series finale of The Late Late Show, and yesterday the talk show aired the last Crosswalk: The Musical.
James Corden did three musical numbers about Los Angeles with Josh Gad and Jane Krakowski in the crosswalk outside of CBS TV City. But that is not why I am telling you to watch the whole thing. It is the ending that will make you so happy you did.
Can you guess how the curtain goes down? Whether you can or cannot, you are going to want to watch.
And talking about endings. Tonight at 10p on CBS, tune in for his last carpool Karaoke with Adele, which is over 20 minutes long. Then at 12:37a, watch him interview his last two guests Will Ferrell and Harry Styles.
Are you going to miss him, or are you saying Cheerio?
We know that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are best friends and have been that way before they were famous.
But did you know they were roommates with Casey Affleck when they first moved to LA? They were. And James Corden wanted to know what it is like to live with Matt Damon, so he asked Ben Affleck about that when Mr. Jennifer Lopez was on The Late Late Show yesterday.
“I would not suggest living with him,” Affleck declared. “One of the things he blocks out is when you finish something, it has to be washed or thrown away.”
Instead of the Afflecks telling their roommate to clean up after himself, they opted to stop cleaning up after him. They wanted to see how long it would take him to wash a dish or throw something out.
Did Damon realize what was going on? Nope. So after two weeks of filth and a few maggots all over their apartment, they gave into his messy ways because he won.
So Affleck said that Damon’s wife, Luciana Bozán Barroso, has earned a special place in heaven. However, I am sure that the actor learned how to clean up after himself. After all, he is living with his wife and four daughters. With that much estrogen in the house, he has learned he has to submit to them.
Hugh Grant and Chris Pine were guests on The Late Late Show yesterday to promote their movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and James Corden asked them to play Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts. That is where they have to answer a question or eat something gross.
The questions were lame. The food was disgusting, as usual. But there was one moment that made me laugh. That is when Pine told Corden to either do his Hugh Grant impression for Hugh Grant or eat a bull penis.
What to do? What to do? Corden did his best, Grant, and Grant rightfully hated every second of it.
I am sure that people think he deserved it after his interview on Oscar’s Red Carpet with Ashley Graham at the Oscars, but I don’t he did. That was beyond cruel.
We know that James Corden is ending his run as the host of The Late Late Show in a few months, but we don’t know who is replacing him in that Fall.
Well, today, we might have found out that no one is replacing him. What? According to Deadline, CBS is looking to revive Comedy Central’s @midnight in LLS’s timeslot. Therefore, ending the late night talk show’s 28-year run.
Will people tune in for a game show with comedians as contestants after Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show? He better hope so because he is reportedly producing the show.
Talking about hosts, Chris Hardwick is not expected to reprise his role. If they are not going to use him, then they better go with Ron Funches, aka Bunches of Funches as he was known on the show.
And even he won’t be enough to save the series. But then again, it will be a lot cheaper to do than LLS.
Part of me is sad to see the show end. However, the other part of me is like; now people will see how brilliant Seth Meyers is on Late Night.
