Seriously? OMG! WTF?

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.
