---
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 true Melissa! Every word you said is so true. They always had the weekend special. I miss the Blockbuster experience.

A suit and briefcase!!!! 🤣👍 The things you had to do for adult films back then 😄

That thrill she talked about was real. I clearly remember the exact same experience! 😂

My vote: Hasan Minhaj for the new host of The Daily Show. I would rather see Kal run for office, because of his White House experience.

Really?! The clip isn't even five minutes. And it takes over three to get to the reason we're here?!

This is exactly why I have only watched a handful of his interviews.

[virgowitch]

Please get Sabrina Carpenter on your show we want to see her perform Nonsense

[starsabove]

Amy! I know she needs to move on, but she will be Amy to me. As far as Kal for daily show, not bad fit, although there might be other people that would be more suitable.
