Things Get Heated Over Brussels Sprouts Facts

We begin the night without Reggie but still dive right into multiverse theory. And when we get into the headlines, Ian Karmel becomes militant while defending an interesting Brussels sprouts fact.

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

So well put.

I have no need for celebrity interviews- just give me “The News” and conversations and laughs between the staff! ♥️🥰

[seantlewis]

"Labor violations." Best line of the segment!

[lindscm]

I will 1000% watch, likely repeatedly, their ten minute conversation about brussel sprouts.

[ohheyhorsegirl]

The banter between the band, the producers, and James is absolutely my favorite thing in the world 🤣

Always loved brussell sprouts. My grandma sauteed them in bacon grease with garlic and onion a little salt and pepper. She always used fresh and cut them in half. They're GREAT. 👍

I mean, it's like they're rehearsing as the show is being filmed. And I love it!

Nick has a point though!!! We however do need the entire 10 minutes Brussels sprouts banter 😃😃

[PinkUrbanOasis]

Another great banter! I'm sure the brussels sprouts fact is true - have been preparing them the same way my granny did and they're much sweeter now! Thanks, Ian! I will be sharing that fact at a dinner party! Don't listen to your senior VP of whatever... keep 'em coming! 😆

sometimes I check the celeb interviews, but mostly am just here for the shenanigans the cast are up to

[ashleysunderland]

One critique: The last few shows Steve’s jingle has been really short. We need another journey. Pls.

[jaden]

Can we please get the whole Brussel sprouts conversation 🙏

[ader]

The brussel sprouts convo took the cake this mono, hands down lol

[mretie]

Reggie Watts has been away entertaining MY CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS tonight, and we were happy to have his back while he was away from the show tonight! 🎉#UNTFineArts thanks for booking a gig

[mildred]

Not James stopping to bless Cece and then continuing to read the news ...LOL

[kathleenglover]

I really enjoy that James Corden opens his show with playful banter with his staff 😃😂

[michaelpaxonjulien]

[gusheredia]

Winnie shaking her head and slowly joining the ovation at 4:33 🤣
