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."

James: *Talking about how she can control her tears*
Me: *Patiently waiting to see her do it* 😶

[browniiex]

ugh her personality. her face. everything about her is just phenomenal.

[TwistDMetal]

She is like a real Tinkerbell. Beautiful and magical.

[peymanyaghoubi]

She is such a good actress it’s scary, she is so gifted

[beatrizferraz]

“My partner”.. now I am crying and it’s not fake tears

[Tropicallyglutenfree]

I never understood how people couldn't cry on command. I'm practically holding back tears 24/7.🥴

[andreacampo-velez]

Her quietly singing "Think of Me" to make James cry... we would be friends lol

[alq]

I love Anya, she's got such unique charisma, class and beauty.

[preciousedane]

Kind of sad she didn’t actually cry on cue in this clip. That would’ve been cool to see

[robertsmatisons]

She sang "Think of Me" at the end of the clip. She is officially my favorite human being on the planet.

[HanahS.]

As someone who also trained myself to do this, the “You can suck your tears back in?!” comment had me dead 🤣

[rachelduncanH]

Stanned her even before The Queen’s Gambit, she’s so talented I look up to her so much 🥺

[DeanithForeverYoung]

My obsession with her only grows bigger day by day. She's a wholesome person.

[brianbommarito]

I cannot keep my eyes off her dress. That is such a lovely one-piece pattern with the blue flowers and the green leaves. It’s actually hard to distinguish where everything is, and that’s what I like about it. Stylish, but modest. It looks very nice on her.

[thatgirl_withtheglasses]

I love how she starts singing Phantom of the Opera to get James to cry!!

[tntbsyht]

Her accent is so weird, but not in a bad way. It sounds like an American accent with a British twang.

[cxherryy]

I always find it interesting hearing her speak because i can never completely tell if it's more of an american or british accent since i feel like it alternated between every vowel.

[jamamert]

why no one is talking about "James, look at me baby...."

[NinaReviewsThings]

I love everything about her. Her style, intelligence and plus she can speak Spanish! It was truly her that made me wanna learn and speak fluently too haha!

[truthbearingpsychonaut]

she is like a gorgeous canvas for art!
