January 29, 2019

james corden, late late show, late night, paige weldon, stand up

The Late Late Show with James Corden is really picking up the slack for stand-up comedy being featured on late night in 2019. They’ve already had four sets this month alone including this late night debut of the wonderful Paige Weldon.

Paige is definitely one of those comics whose rise we’ve been following for years in LA (go get Girlfriend at the Time by the way) and we’re so glad to see her it kill it, especially in her own low key way, on Corden.

So, please enjoy her set here.

Please Enjoy Adam Newman’s Latest Late Night Set on Corden

January 26, 2019

adam newman, james corden, late night, stand up

Adam Newman’s snappy delivery and pep, despite being very self-deprecating, are almost tailor made for doing stand-up on late night. Whatever late night talk show he’s on, the punchlines hit fast and hard and, unsurprisingly, he kills it with the crowd at Corden (we think we can even hear Reggie laugh in the background).

So, please enjoy his Adam’s from last night’s Late Late Show here.

Please Enjoy 2019′s First Late Night Set From Mekki Leeper on Corden

January 10, 2019

james corden, late late show, mekki leeper, stand up

There are lots of things up in the air for 2019, but at least the time honored tradition of doing stand-up on late night talk shows is off to a great start with this set from Mekki Leeper where he killed on last night’s Late Late Show with James Corden.

We won’t say anymore as Mekki has a big, fun reveal in the middle of this set. Well, we’ll say one more thing: you should be following whatever Mekki is getting into if you aren’t doing so already (hopefully he’ll do another round of satirizing ads with Rebrand again).

Please Enjoy Joe Zimmerman’s Latest Set on Last Night’s Corden

Witness it for yourself from his set on last night’s Late Late Show with James Corden.

Tickets are going for $49-$500+ and you can get them here.

Lisa Best Shares Her Experience Coming Out as Bisexual During Her Late Night Debut on Corden

bisexual, james corden, late late show, lgbtqia, lisa best, stand up

Lisa Best is a terrific comedian whose name you should definitely get familiar with and also had a lovely late night debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

On top of that, she made a great case, during her set, for understanding and empathisizing the B (for bisexual) in LGBTQIA+ more than the general public probably does currently.

Watch, enjoy, listen, and learn here.

Please Enjoy Aparna Nancherla’s Latest Set on Corden

The comedy of Aparna Nancherla has been, is, and continues to be a pick-me-up that America needs.

Please enjoy your latest dose of Aparna from her set on last night’s Corden here.

Please Enjoy Jamie Lee from Last Night’s Corden

As her new album I Mean… proved, the comedy of Jamie Lee is a fabulous combination of clever writing, deft observation and timing, and colorful performance.

Do yourself a favor and enjoy more of that with her latest late night set here.

Please Enjoy Jesus Trejo’s Late Night Debut on Corden

October 25, 2017

Jesus Trejo made a great impression with his first late night set on last night’s Late Late Show with James Corden with how roles with his parents have been pretty much entirely reversed.

Watch it here.

Nate Fernald Tried Sneaking Around The Late Late Show Offices and Made the Second Episode of “The Nate Nate Show”

james corden, late late show, nate fernald, nate nate show, pete holmes

Already, Nate Fernald has been given a hard pass by James Corden for The Nate Nate Show, a talk show made within the halls and rooms of The Late Late Show with James Corden, after its first episode.

However, every innovator worth a damn has always been beset with rejection on their path to the top.

With that in mind, Nate Fernald pushed forward and (as covertly as possible) made the second episode of The Nate Nate Show.

Beauty and the Beast Gets the Crosswalk Musical Treatment on Corden

beauty and the beast, crosswalk musical, dan stevens, james corden, josh gad, late late show, late night, luke evans, musical, parody

Every once in awhile, the intersection at Beverly and Genesee at CBS Television City gets surprised with a presentation of a famous musical courtesy of The Late Late Show with James Corden that happens on the crosswalk while the light is red.

Of course, this means it’s a much, much, much more abridged version lest Corden and company wish to further run the risk of getting hit by cars.

Their latest ‘crosswalk musical’ takes on Beauty and the Beast and even has stars of the movie musical adaptation Luke Evans, Dan Stevens, and Josh Gad join in holding up traffic to sing and dance in period costume.

How much Corden is a taskmaster, especially since he has the credibility of a Tony Award to back him up, in these segments is pretty fun.

Corden Writer Nate Fernald Tries Doing His Own “Nate Nate Show” While on The Late Late Show

bits, james corden, late late show, meta comedy, meta humor, nate fernald, nate nate show

When it comes to doing bits within bits or, in this case, shows within shows, Nate Fernald is one of the best at professionally goofing around.

See for yourself in this ridiculous remote segment he did for The Late Late Show.

Enjoy Myq Kaplan’s Latest Late Late Show Set

james corden, late late show, late night, myq kaplan, stand up

Indeed, this is not Myq Kaplan’s first “rodeo” doing stand-up on The Late late Show.

As Myq himself has said, the molecules have moved and the host is different this time around. Myq also does another bang-up job like he did in previous appearances on a set that had much more wood accents and a host from a different part of the Commonwealth.

Watch and enjoy it here. Also, you should get his album No Kidding too.

In Lieu of Carpool Karaoke, Bob Odenkirk Did His Own “Very Special” Version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame on Corden

February 24, 2017

bits, bob odenkirk, david oyelowo, james corden, late late show, take me out to the ballgame

Many might now might only be acquainted with Bob Odenkirk as a well-respected dramatic actor.

Luckily, there are late night appearances like this that show he is and will always be a trailblazer in comedy.

Also, note how much David Oyelowo is in pain during this bit.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Host TJ Miller both co-starred Deadpool and is part of the ensemble cast of Silicon Valley, which both took home Critics Choice Awards last night. This might make TJ the biggest winner of the evening.

The Late Late Show with James Corden also continues its ascent in late night by winning over all the satirical news shows and Fallon, which is pretty astounding considering that Fallon is still a ratings leader and Sam Bee, John Oliver, and Trevor Noah got special focus because of the election.

The election also put special focus on SNL with highlighting both Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin in their respective impressions of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and resulted in their Critics Choice wins.

Meryl Streep continues her dominance with awards in general as she indeed play a historically bad singer perfectly in Florence Foster Jenkins.

Don’t forget that FX has a nice showing here as well with wins for Louie Anderson on Baskets and Donald Glover on Atlanta. It’s further proof that FX’s programming line-up can stand with the premium cable and streaming networks.

Also, we’re glad to see BoJack Horseman taking home Best Animated Series as the show continues to evolve and get more emotionally and satisfyingly complex.

Watch Kurt Braunohler Serve Up a Wonderful Late Night Set on Corden

November 22, 2016

james corden, kurt braunohler, late night, stand up

You might be familiar with Kurt Braunohler through his large scale comedy/performance art/pranks like hiring a skywriter to write “How Do I Land?” in the sky or him jet skiing down the Mississippi for charity or driving a giant double sided butt sculpture across the country.

Kurt is also a great stand-up comedian on top of all of that as you can see in this set from last night’s episode of Corden.

Please Watch Eliza Skinner’s Set on Corden

October 5, 2016

break-ups, eliza skinner, holding babies, james corden, late late show, stand up

If you’re one of readers/followers, you are probably well aware of and love Eliza Skinner.

As such, you should enjoy her killing it during her set on last night’s Late Late Show with James Corden. If Eliza Skinner is somehow a new name to you here, relish in discovering her comedy with the aforementioned great performance.

Watch her set here.

Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden Play a Late Night Host Version of Truth or Dare with Revolting Food

September 17, 2016

cbs, james corden, jimmy kimmel, late late show, spill your guts or fill your guts, truth or dare

When it comes to what late night hosts think of each other, there is, currently, a very thick cloud of mystery. Publicly, most will say that they have camaraderie with each other like any other profession even though ratings technically pit them against each other on a nightly basis.

Will we ever know what they really think of each other like we kind of did between Jay Leno and David Letterman?

Well, The Late Late Show’s Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts is a somewhat heightened version of truth or dare backed with food that’s normally reserved for Andrew Zimmern. Jimmy Kimmel was a guest and got to play the game with James Corden, which really shows how much both are dedicated to keeping up appearances.

When it comes to doing a set on late night, one of the best comedians to execute air tight, well-crafted sets is Tommy Johnagin.

His latest late night set on The Late Late Show shows just why that is.

P.S.-Take note of how Tommy pulls off the perfect Grumpy Cat face in the thumbnail still for the video.

Gene Wilder Gave The Nicest ‘No’ Reply to James Corden

August 30, 2016

The passing of Gene Wilder yesterday brought to the forefront how magical of a person he really was, both on and off camera.

James Corden shares a story where even in being turned down by Wilder, he’s still filled with wonder.

Reggie Watts Interrupts an Escape Artist on The Late Late Show

August 26, 2016

If you’re not watching the entire episode of The Late Late Show, you might not be familiar with one of the more absurdist recurring segments that definitely deserves more shine.

On repeated occasions, bandleader Reggie Watts will interrupt a segment and cause all sorts of beautiful chaos.

This latest one with an escape artist is a great example of how weird James Corden will let The Late Late Show get.

Watch Jared Logan’s Set on The Late Late Show with James Corden

james corden, jared logan, late late show, stand up

You might be aware that The Late Late Show with James Corden was just nominated for an Emmy. One of the reasons that happen, we firmly believe, is the stellar writing staff they have.

The fantastic Jared Logan is a part of said staff and he got to show off his stand-up chops on the show last night. Watch his set here.

James Corden Has Nate Fernald “Try Out” 360/VR on The Late Late Show

The Late Late Show with James Corden is kind of in a boom right now with Carpool Karaoke. To keep up the pace they’re at, they’ve got to try out new things.

It just so happens that maybe comedian/writer Nate Fernald might not be a good choice to give a test run for a 360/VR immersive audience experience. Or… maybe Nate’s the best choice?

See what happened here.

Enjoy Cameron Esposito’s Latest Late Night Set on “The Late Late Show”

Cameron Esposito is a shining beacon both as a comedian and a person. She has so much going on between developing her own show and having a special come out on Seeso that it makes us 2016 might be one banner year in many banner years that Cameron has coming.

So, it comes as no surprise to us that she nailed her Late Late Show set sporting a great white leather biker jacket and talking about her dear, wonderful wife.

Watch the set here.
