Jason Momoa and James Corden didn’t get to spend the summer together, but they found a way to make up for lost time. They shot a montage together of what they would’ve done and aired it on The Late Late Show yesterday.
They enjoyed most of it dressing up as twins. And my favorite look is when all they wore were aprons. Well, I really only wanted to See (watch its final season on Apple TV+ starting tomorrow) Aquaman like that. And why did they blur their hamburgers? I can understand the hot dogs and hamburger buns, but not the patties.
Tom Cruise is promoting his new movie Top Gun Maverick, and he stopped off at The Late Late Show with James Corden. Well, technically, because the actor never entered the studio.
Instead, the two men did Fighter Jet Karaoke from the sky! I mean, it would not have been as interesting if they did it on the ground. OK, yes, it would be because imagine seeing a Tom Cruise driving a jet on the road next to you? But to the viewer at home, it would be boring.
Anyways, Cruise did some stunts, and Corden’s underwear wasn’t clean. Then again, if I were in jet upside down, I would do the same thing. Who wouldn’t? Tom Cruise is who wouldn’t.
After two days in the air with Cruise, Corden is safe on the ground to be any movie musical that comes out. Much to the disappointment of fans of movie musicals.
If you thought that James Corden was in every movie musical that has come out in the last decade, then I have some bad news for you. He is going to have a lot of extra time to star in as many as he can starting a year from now. That is because he is leaving The Late Late Show next Spring.
“It’s been it’s a really hard decision to leave because I’m so immensely proud of the show. I’m thrilled to be extending [for a year],” Corden told Deadline. “I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure.”
It will be interesting to see if CBS will replace him or do something else with the hour. They might even opt for it to be paid programming or repeats.
Personally, I think they will give that hour back to the affiliates unless talk shows have a renaissance in the next year. So many got canceled this year because of the cost of the pandemic and lower ratings. So I really wouldn’t be surprised if they opt to cut their losses with this hour of broadcast.
I hope they continue to do a talk show because they are becoming a dying breed. But I would not be surprised if they don’t.
I just think they are not going to want to invest in promoting someone new as the host of The Late Late Show. It is going to cost a lot of money, and it is going to take a long to get it back. Unless they go with a big name, but would that person want to do a talk show at 12:35a every weeknight? Time will tell.
James Corden has joined the omicron club. “I just tested positive for covid 19. I’m fully vaccinated, boosted and because of this am fortunate enough to say I feel completely fine,” he wrote. “The show will be off the air for the next few days. Stay safe everyone. All my love, James x”
What worries me about his case is how close he was to his guests this week. Look at how he is sharing air space with Penélope Cruz. She should get tested ASAP, as should Jessica Chastain and all of the other celebrities who were on The Late Late Show this week.
In fact, I think all of the talk shows with in-studio guests should go remote for the month. So far this week, Seth Meyers and Hoda Kotb tested positive after showing up to work. The View was smart to keep their hosts home after Whoopi Goldberg positive at the end of Christmas break.
Be safe y’all. Get the vaccine and/or the booster, wear a mask, wash your hands, and social distance. It is scary out there.
BTS taped a Crosswalk Musical with James Corden yesterday before they appeared on The Late Late Show.
If you are not familiar with the skit, Corden performs musical numbers with celebrities in the crosswalk outside of the CBS studios, where he tapes his late night talk show when the traffic light is red. Got it? Good.
Well, yesterday, the K-Pop boyband were his victims. And at the end of Dynamite, they were forced to retrieve the props that were used during that song at great risk to their personal health.
This shows us what good guys the seven of them are and how Corden is not for making them do that. #SaveBTS
