Michael Douglas was on The Late Late Show yesterday and James Corden had him recreate the infamous interrogation scene from Basic Instinct. Douglas reprised the role of Detective Nick Curran, and the CBS late night host took over Sharon Stone’s part.
Whether you’ve seen the 1992 film or not, you know that that scene is where Stone uncrosses her legs and reveals she is not wearing any underwear. So imagine what it was like Corden does it? Let’s just say Douglas’ reaction at the end says it all because we all feel the same way. My eyes.

Jon Cryer was on The Late Late Show yesterday to promote his memoir So That Happened, and he recreated his infamous dance scene from Pretty in Pink. In fact, he even recreated his Duckie look from his head to his toes. The number was pretty in every color of the spectrum and I enjoyed him.
What I didn’t enjoy was James Corden. Why? Why? Why do these late night hosts think they need to be the star of every bit? Why can’t they let the star be the star? Why couldn’t Corden taken a back seat and be the Molly Ringwald or Annie Potts in it? Why did he have to be Duckie when Duckie is already there? It took away from a great moment and crapped all over it. This isn’t the first time that Corden pissed me off, but this is the first time I am letting my voice be heard about it. I find him annoying and unlikable because he tries too hard. He’s like that smelly ugly dog that wants you to please please please take him home, but just want him to go away. I know it’s Corden show, but that doesn’t mean he has to be the star in everything. The true stars on the show are the stars! In fact, the more Corden tries, the harder it is for me to believe he truly was an actor before he was hosting TV shows. He doesn’t seem to have any talent. He’s like community theater as compared to all these other people on his show. Seriously, I really find it hard to believe he has a Tony on his mantel because he doesn’t impress me.
I feel for Stephen Colbert because they are going to be an awful fit together. I hope that they will remain separate entities when Colbert’s show debuts in September. You know what, Colbert and Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon and Corden are better paired with each other than how they are currently paired. Don’t you agree since Corden is basically the British version of Fallon?
Since I can’t offer Corden any Tenderness, I will offer you some. Below is the original dance scene from Pretty In Pink!
James Corden is changing up late night with The Late Late Show and yesterday he decided to change up how we see musical shows. Instead of doing it in a theater, he took it to the streets of Los Angeles. Literally! He got a group of people together and they performed some of the songs from Grease in the crosswalk outside of his CBS’s studios in TV City.
The drivers liked the free show until the light turned green, then they weren’t so happy because that is a very busy intersection.
Luckily Corden survived to do another talk show on CBS because in other cities, his gang and him would’ve sang their last note before they even got to the finale.
Katie Couric is a guest on The Late Late Show tonight and she decided to play an April Fool’s Day joke on James Corden. The newscaster wanted to make an entrance, so she did it by coming down the stairs. As soon as she stepped out, she tripped and fell down them and laid there on the ground as though she was gravely hurt. Scaring the audience and the host immensely.
Turns out she didn’t fall down the steps, instead it was her stunt double.
So for a few seconds, we got to think it was her lying on the floor. It wasn’t. And that joke was not funny in so many ways.
Oh well, at least we can take comfort that she is no longer on television so we don’t have to look at her fake smile. She really thought showing her teeth would make us like her, and it never ever worked on me. Did it work on you?
David Beckham and James Corden have created a new line of underwear and they will debut the commercial for D & J Briefs on CBS’s The Late Late Show at 12:35a. Thankfully, that shows air in the early hours in the morning because that ad is not safe for the daytime hours or the nighttime one. Who wants to see the soccer star’s golden balls like that before they are in bed about to go into dreamland?
