K.J. Yossman James Corden had a triumphant homecoming on Monday night as he taped the “The Late Late Show” in London, U.K., the first date in a week-long residence in Corden’s homeland.In addition to an enthusiastic local crowd that included Corden’s parents, his wife Julia and his two eldest children, as well as executive producer Ben Winston’s father Lord Robert Winston, Corden was joined in the makeshift studio by guests Billie Eilish and “Stranger Things'” David Harbour as well as Lizzo via a Carpool Karaoke episode pre-recorded in Los Angeles.It is the first time Corden has brought “The Late Late Show” to British shores since 2019 (a fact he referenced during his opening remarks when he asked the audience: “So, anything happened between now and then?”) and it will also be the last time, with the host due to step down from the gig next spring.
Corden’s imminent abdication — and what he plans to do next — came up a number of times during the show. Playing his popular segment “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,” in which he and a celebrity guest take turns choosing between answering a personal question or eating a disgusting concoction, Eilish asked the host how much CBS had offered him to stay on.
Corden opted to take a slurp of a chamomile tea containing cherries and Tofurkey rather than reveal the number. “I wouldn’t tell you and I certainly wouldn’t tell you while my dad is sat right there,” said Corden.
