Tessa Thompson Didn't Last Long as a Cheerleader

James welcomes his guests Tessa Thompson and Dwyane Wade who smells nothing short of wonderful. And when James learns Dwyane hasn't played any basketball since retiring, Tessa shares why she didn't make the best cheerleader. And after Dwyane tells James how kayaking is a hobby that doubles as an excellent marriage test, James asks Tessa about her new movie "Passing."

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."

"Why would I play a pickup? I might as well play in the NBA."
Dwayne's got lines😂

[alanwong]

I think the audience clapped when he told his kayak story because they assumed he just got married rather than understanding that the marriage and honeymoon happened years ago.

Love the tattoo that Dwayne Wade has of all his jerseys shirts and him in honor of his last game although I would add another thing to his tattoo art of the late Kobe Bryant standing next to him with an angelic halo around his head and he has his hand on Dwayne Wade back and there should be word bubbles 💭 that say ”Im with you my brother.”

Passing! That's a term I haven't heard since I was a kid. I doubt most people today even know what it means. Wow!

Comment re Kayaking : Those two must have had good balance together. My wife & I would have tipped it over in 2 minutes.
💜👨🏽‍✈️Question from a sea captain (me) … Could you see land? If not, did you look for clouds? Clouds are often over land because of the lower or higher temperatures that land will keep during the day compared to water. A real test. A definite reason to be scared.

Seriously, if ever..if ever a really good director plan on remake of *The Bodyguard* Tessa is really the best Whitney I swear 💪

[loveforeignaccents]

Don't know either of these guests, but that lady is a beauty!

[christianfiguroa]

Wow I haven't seen a talk show in so long

[thalest.]

So what was the scent now that he was wearing? 😁

[for_monn_s]

Man if you can get divorced over a kayaking trip gone wrong..you don't need to marry at all

[Noneblue]

That’s amazing … Dwayne hasn’t played any ball since his last game

[mrmexicansavage]

You should do a carpool karaoke with Selena Gomez again

[TheWorldFunFacts]

Is Dwayne in the movie? Just wondering why he there with her

[skincarebagus]

Every time I see Tessa Thompson, I see the word "woke" in her

[anna_kaija]

James you should have Louis Tomlinson on the show, yk it was his birthday and all, I’d love to see him. Same with Harry, or you could kill two birds with one stone and have them on at the same time, I guess that’d be killing 3 birds because they could try to deny Larry again, or you could bring all the boys on the show and ask them about the reunion, so that’d be 4 dead birds. Let’s just kill all the birds.

I feel like this is only on my recommendation because of Moist Critikal. How do you pronounce James Corden again?
