Comments Off on GAME ON! Team Previews CBS’ Ambitious Hybrid Game Show
CBS’ new show GAME ON! is billed as a new competition challenge, but it’s hard to properly prepare for how crazy the series actually is.
GAME ON!, loosely based on the UK series A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (which was hosted by James Corden, who is an executive producer/guest star on the CBS show) finds two teams competing, one captained by tennis superstar Venus Williams, and the other by NFL’s Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski.
Every week Team Venus (Williams, comedian Ian Karmel, and a rotating guest) faces off against Team Gronk (Gronkowski, comedian Bobby Lee, and a rotating guest), as host Keegan-Michael Key leads them through challenges. But even the mundane things—like trying to answer questions—have extreme twists. (You try having a clear mind answering questions when the world’s strongest man is trying to push your teammates off a mat.)

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s cold open mocked the recent viral video of NATO leaders laughing at President Trump. And to portray Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and French President Emmanuel Macron, the variety series brought in former SNL cast member Jimmy Fallon, LATE LATE SHOW host James Corden, and Paul Rudd.
In the sketch, Trudeau, Johnson, and Macron kept Alec Baldwin’s Trump away from their “cool kids” table at NATO’s cafeteria, mocking him, and putting an “Impeach Me” sign on his back.

Quit playing games with our hearts, James Corden.
The host of the LATE LATE SHOW joined the Backstreet Boys for a performance of their Vegas residency, and volunteered to replace one of the men for a night. The singers didn’t seem too into the idea—but Corden voted for Brian Littrell to take a break.
In the video below, Corden joined AJ McLean, Howie D., Nick Carter, and Kevin Richardson…and was actually able to follow along pretty well.

Comments Off on Anna Faris, Allison Janney, Kunal Nayyar, and Iain Armitage Join James Corden for CROSSWALK THE MUSICAL: THE SOUND OF MUSIC
With James Corden’s LATE LATE SHOW putting on a primetime special on Monday night, the series went big with one of their recurring segments—CROSSWALK THE MUSICAL: THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
But since they were going big leagues, Corden got a bit more help than normal. “The network has insisted we add some CBS stars to the cast, because apparently CBS doesn’t think I’m capable of handling primetime on my own,” he joked in the video below. To assist him? MOM stars Anna Faris and Allison Janney, as well as THE BIG BANG THEORY‘s Kunal Nayyar, and YOUNG SHELDON’s Iain Armitage.
And, well, it was hilarious. Watch their performance of the classic musical! Read more

THE LATE LATE SHOW host James Corden got to live out a dream recently — he joined the cast of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA while the show was in Los Angeles for a show. But, unfortunately for Corden, he didn’t get to play the role of the Phantom like he hoped. (THE VOICE fans may recognize Chris Mann, the man playing the Phantom — he placed fourth on the second season of the NBC singing competition.) Instead, Corden played Fop 2. And Corden went all in.

James Corden has made a (delightful) habit of revisiting his guests’ past work when they come to visit him on THE LATE LATE SHOW. And so when SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE judge Paula Abdul was a guest on Corden’s show, the duo “remade” Abdul’s 1989 video for her hit song, “Opposites Attract”…and Corden got to play MC Skat Kat. (Oh, yes.)

And in an attempt to get an invite, Corden and LATE LATE SHOW guest Elizabeth Banks showed off their moves.
Needless to say, it was pretty amazing.
