Last night was one of those rare occasions where I knew f all about any of the guests. I'm an avid telly watcher but I could have told you nothing about those three. Never even heard their names in passing before.
Melora Hardin, Amy Landecker, Jack Antonoff I would like to know how this girl found out this particular skill. Like Corden said, soooo many questions. https://youtu.be/QUY5Haly-qI?t=1m42s To be honest I’m not familial with any of these 3 guests either, although I did recognise Melora Hardin from her reoccurring role in The Office (US). I haven’t watched any of this week’s shows yet, but I did enjoy the ‘Talking Mentalist’ bits over the past couple of weeks. My favourite being when CBS switched the lead-in from The Mentalist to CSI to the (supposed) surprise to Corden and his ‘Talking Mentalist’ guests. He’s still finding his feet, trying out lots of different ‘bits’, with some working better than others, and copying (stealing?) the most successful bit of other talk shows. For example the ‘Bar Tricks’ clip above reminds me of Letterman’s ‘Stupid Human Tricks’ and TFI Fridays ‘Pub Genius’ bits. But I'm still enjoying it. ![]() The programme is taking another week off next week, so only a run of 3 weeks of new shows this time round. But not surprising as it’s essentially got no lead in right now and the summer is a bit of ratings low point. |

It looks like James Corden is taking an extended summer break from The Late Late Show.
He’s currently back in the UK (he’s been at various events over the past week or so, as well as collecting his OBE) and is currently recording a new series of Sky 1’s A League of Their Own at Elstree Studios. Series 9 (recorded late last year) is currently airing on Sky so I’m assuming this is series 10? And as Sky air normally broadcast one series a year this might be for broadcast on 2016 unless there’s going to be two series this year... |

Yeah, he was spotted at Glastonbury. The last time he took a break he came over to the UK for the BAFTA TV Awards. It's funny that he comes over but doesn't make any tv appearances, even just for a chat. Will he be appearing on anything whilst over here? Wouldn't mind hearing from him how things have gone for him now that he's relocated and working in America.

When he was last back in the UK (for the BAFTAs as you said) he was only here for 1 day, in fact he was on a plane for longer than he was in the UK. This time he’s over here for 3 weeks, but I’m not aware of him appearing anywhere on TV. To be honest I was surprised he was recording a series of A League of Their Own while he’s over here, I thought it would be a holiday and not a working holiday, especially as the next series of A League of Their Own isn’t due to be broadcast until 2016. |

Do you know who his guests are once he returns?
But there should be some big names being lined up for September. That’s when the new ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ premiers on CBS at 11:30pm, which will get a lot of promotion and publicity, so ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ will want to capitalise on that lead-in. So expect some big shows around that time, and that will be good if the rumours of Sky One showing the show from the Autumn are true. |

An article on the Broadcast website about how Sky 1 are rethinking its policy of original commissions at 8pm also states that its ‘keeping its eye’ on Then Late Late Show with James Corden. So it’s sounds like nothing is official yet.

No ratings for late night TV at the moment although surely they'll start again in September. He's sending himself and the show up a lot more at the moment and there's even a semblance of an awkward pause to close the show. Maybe he's not the polar opposite of Craig ferguson after all.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...0-2015/432126/ In the 12:35pm slot, ‘encores’ of ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ (0.37/2 share) are still beating ‘encores’ of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ (0.25/2 share). Although ‘Late Night’ has ‘The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon’ as a lead in, which dominates the late night ratings, so it does have an unfair advantage in my opinion. |

Ratings for the late night talk shows continue throughout the summer, although there are a number of weeks where they air reruns (or encores as the media like to call them) so it’s sort of difficult to get any real value from them.

None of these bits are original in my opinion, in fact nothing that he’s doing is really original – he’s just using the same ideas from various talk shows past and present. But when you put them all together it creates something unlike any of the current crop. Admittedly it’s probably most like ‘The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon’, but does do things that make it slightly different, for example Jimmy Fallon doesn’t do any bits outside of the studio (but I acknowledge that Letterman did, and Conan still does). Speaking of Craig Ferguson – I’m still wondering whether that bell on James Corden’s desk was a gift from Ferguson. Quote:

I wonder what Ferguson had in mind. Saw two seconds of him at Pink's trying to sell the patrons on a Corden Dog - they gave him the same looks I would have. Time for him to pack up and go home. |

Time for him to pack up and go home. We must differ because his Take A Break series is one of the funniest things about his show! Consistently good and consistently funny. It cracks me up! Honestly.Going to Pinks Hot Dog's was ace. Best line of the clip: Anyone want a True Detective Dog? It's a real mess and no one knows what the f*ck is going on! ![]() Brilliant! His Donald Trump one was also a cracker! |

I see Trevor Noah the new host of The Daily Show is his guest this Tuesday apparently alone. This could be a good way of seeing if James Corden can pull off the one on one interview as abily as his predecessor.

Seen plenty of them on food shows. Some even go the extra mile and deep fry the whole thing aswell.

I felt a bit sorry for Amy Smart last night. She must have said about five sentences throughout the whole show and most of that was about one minute before the end of the show when her movie was very shortly plugged.
It's not the first time it's happened when a more precieved famous guest is on the show and who already knows one of the other guests. Corden seems to go into boys club mode, like he did the other night when talking about childbirth and Coby Smulders was sitting there quiet for several minutes while he had a laugh with the boys. Maybe that's something that he'll have to look at. Not saying he's the only chat show host who does that, especially on shows where several guests are on the couch. It's happened on Norton many times when he's been fawning over one particular guest. |

I think 3 guests is too much for a show like his and is better suited to just 2.

Craig seems to be back on TV but i think it's just a one off. Like the new hair do.
