THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN
June 17, 2019  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 12:37 a.m. ET

 

James Corden takes his Late Late Show back to his country of origin this week, presenting, once again, a series of shows emanating from London. The last time he did this, he pulled off a stunningly successful “Carpool Karaoke” segment with Paul McCartney, driving the former Beatle around Penny Lane. This time, he’s got similarly audacious surprises in store, beginning with former First Lady Michelle Obama heading team USA in a celebrity pickup dodgeball game against the United Kingdom. Especially united, in this case: the U.K. team, coached and fronted by Corden himself, includes Benedict Cumberbatch and Late Late Show bandleader Reggie Watts. The US team, by contrast, is all-female, headed by Michelle Obama and including Melissa McCarthy, Allison Janney, and Mila Kunis (who was a very game player on the previous Late Late Show incarnation, goofing around with Craig Ferguson). I’m betting on the women.
