[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] James: HELLO, HOW ARE YOU!
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!
WELCOME TO "THE LATE LATE SHOW"!
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, THANKS FOR COMING!
I APPRECIATE IT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHO OUR GUESTS ARE ON THE SHOW
TONIGHT.
SHE IS AN OSCAR-NOMINATED ACTOR YOU KNOW FROM "THE WHALE," "THE
MENU," AND "WATCHMEN."
HER NEW SERIES "THE NIGHT AGENT" PREMIERES MARCH 23RD ON NETFLIX.
THE SUPREMELY TALENTED, HONG CHAU!
IT IS HERE TONIGHT!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] HOW ARE YOU?
Hong: I'M DOING GREAT!
James: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINDING THE TIME FOR US AND
WHAT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY BUSY PART OF
YOUR LIFE.
Hong: IT IS, I ALSO HAVE A 2-YEAR-OLD SO I AM BUSY.
James: THE 2-YEAR-OLD IS FINE?
Hong: HANGS OUT WITH THE DOG, IT'S GOOD.
IT IS TO BE ON MAN'S BEST FRIEND, PUT THEM BOTH IN
THE CUPBOARD, THEY WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FUN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, HONG CHAU!
AND THE BRILLIANT EMMY-WINNING ACTOR,
YOU KNOW FROM "CHILDRENS HOSPITAL" AND "BALLERS."
HE HAS A NEW MOVIE OUT NOW CALLED, "THE DONOR PARTY."
THE SENSATIONAL, MR. ROB CORDDRY!
HOW ARE YOU, ROB?
Rob: OH, I AM SO GOOD.
James: SO GLAD YOU GOT THE MEMO ON THE RED WINE SUIT
TONIGHT.
Rob: [LAUGHS] WE LOOK FANTASTIC.
James: YOU KNOW WHAT, WE ACTUALLY DO.
Rob: I WANT TO BRING YOU ONE OF THESE COOKIES.
WHEN I COME OUT.
James: YOU DO THAT.
OKAY, SEE YOU LATER, ROB CORDDRY, EVERYBODY.
AND LATER IN THE SHOW AT AN INCREDIBLE FROM STEVEN SANCHEZ, YOU DON'T
WANT TO MISS THAT.
ARE YOU READY?
Reggie: YES.
James: ALL RIGHT, I AM JAMES CORDEN, AND THIS IS "THE
LATE LATE SHOW"!

James: IT CERTAINLY IS.
BLESS YOU, EVERYBODY.
PLEASE HAVE A SEAT, HOW ARE YOU DOING, REG, ARE YOU WELL?
Reggie: YES, JUST CAME BACK FROM LONDON.
James: YOU WERE IN LONDON?
THE COMEDY FESTIVAL THING?
Reggie: JUST FOR LAUGHS.
YES.
James: HOW DID IT GO?
Reggie: IT WAS AWESOME, JUST LANDED, DID A COOL SHOW,
AND THEN THE NEXT NIGHT DID A SHOW AT THE CLUB AND IT WAS
REALLY GREAT, AND IT WAS SO FAST.
BUT YES, IT WAS GREAT.
I MADE IT BACK IN TIME FOR THE SHOW.
James: HOW ARE YOU DOING, ALL GOOD?
Ian: YES, ALL GOOD.
I WENT TO BURBANK.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] James: I GOT A TEXT FROM
IAN AT 8:45 THAT JUST SAID "I AM WATCHING "JERRY MAGUIRE."
James: YOU SAID, YOU HAD SOME REAL SOLITUDE.
Ian: I DID NOT SPEAK TO ANYONE THE ENTIRE DAY UNTIL WE
TALKED.
James: AND YOU WENT INTO THE SILENCE, WHAT DID YOU FIND
OUT ABOUT YOURSELF?
Ian: THAT DEEP DOWN, AT THE VERY CORE OF WHO I AM, RIGHT
DOWN IN THE GRANULAR BASE LEVEL, I AM A PRETTY BORING GUY.
[LAUGHTER] YEAH.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] James: IT IS THAT TIME.
IT IS TIME FOR "THE NEWS."
LATER THIS WEEK, PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE RELEASING HIS BUDGET.
BUT HIS ADMINISTRATION IS ALREADY LEAKING THE FACT THAT
BIDEN WILL PROPOSE A TAX INCREASE TO KEEP MEDICARE
SOLVENT PRACTICALLY DARING REPUBLICANS TO COME OUT AGAINST
IT.
BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS "DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL STILL BE OKAY WHEN
YOU RETIRE" LIKE AN 80-YEAR-OLD PRESIDENT WHO
REFUSES TO RETIRE.
KEEPING MEDICARE SOLVENT!
IT'S NOT EXCITING, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT.
IT'S THE WEEKNIGHT SEX OF POLITICS.
[LAUGHTER] BIDEN'S BUDGET WILL PROPOSE
RAISING A TAX ON AMERICANS EARNING MORE THAN $400,000.
A BRILLIANT IDEA FROM A GUY WHO COINCIDENTALLY MAKES EXACTLY
$400,000.
IN OTHER NEWS, DONALD TRUMP'S ATTORNEYS ARE ASKING TO DELAY
THE TRIAL DATE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S FRAUD CASE--
BECAUSE THEY SAY THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS SO MUCH
EVIDENCE, THEY CAN'T REVIEW IT ALL IN TIME.
APPARENTLY, THERE ARE 2.6 MILLION PAGES OF
EVIDENCE.
SEE, THESE ARE THE DOCUMENTS TRUMP SHOULD HAVE STOLEN.
[LAUGHTER] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I LOVE HOW TRUMP'S DEFENSE TEAM IS LIKE, "THERE'S SO MUCH
EVIDENCE OF FRAUD THAT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO REVIEW
IT.
ALSO, HE'S INNOCENT."
[LAUGHTER] BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, IT'S A
PRETTY SMART STRATEGY BY TRUMP.
COMMIT SO MUCH FRAUD THAT BY THE TIME THEY'RE READY FOR YOUR
TRIAL, YOU'LL BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AGAIN.
AND ACCORDING TO HIS ALLIES, DONALD TRUMP IS CURRENTLY
TESTING OUT NEW NICKNAMES FOR HIS CHIEF REPUBLICAN RIVAL,
FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS.
WHILE HE SEEMS TO BE SET ON "RON DESANCTIMONIOUS," HE IS ALSO
CONSIDERING "RON DISHONEST," "RONDEESTABLISHMENT," AND "TINY
D."
[LAUGHTER] IT'S JUST NICE TO SEE TRUMP
LASER-FOCUSED ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE DAY.
TINY D MAKES IT SOUND LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO RELEASE A SONG WITH DJ
KHALED.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MEATBALL RON?
Ian: APPARENTLY DONALD TRUMP DID NOT COME UP
WITH MEATBALL RON.
James: I THINK HE SHOULD RUN THE WHOLE WAY WITH MEATBALL
RON.
Reggie: THEY CAN CALL HIM RON DNC.
James: TO ASSOCIATE HIM WITH--
[[BUZZER] OR TINY BALLS.
James: OR WHAT?
TINY BALLS.
JUST CALL HIM TINY BALLS.
I AM NOT MAD AT IT.
IT'S LIKE THE MYTH ABOUT LIKE, YOU KNOW WHEN EVERYBODY SAYS
THAT NAPOLEON WAS REALLY SHORT?
YOU KNOW HE WAS ABOVE AVERAGE HEIGHT, AND IT WAS ALL
PROPAGANDA, IF YOU WENT WITH TINY BALLS, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
FOR RON DeSANTIS TO COME OUT AND GO, I HAVE REGULAR SIZED
BALLS!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OH, TINY BALLS.
YOU CAN EVEN GO ONE FURTHER.
BIG D, TINY BALLS.
THAT'S THE WORST.
LIKE LITTLE TICK TAX.
BUT A REGULAR SACK, THE SAC IS NOT SMALL, IT'S THE BALLS.
[LAUGHTER] AND HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?
WAX FIGURES OF PRINCESS KATE HAVE GONE VIRAL AFTER THE WORST
WAX MUSEUM IN POLAND FOR A REMINDER, HERE'S THE ACTUAL
PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES HERE.
AND HERE ARE THE WAX VERSIONS.
[LAUGHTER] THE WAX PRINCE WILLIAM LOOKS
LIKE HE JUST WALKED INTO PRINCE ANDREW'S ROOM BY MISTAKE.
[LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE]
THEY LOOK LIKE THEIR BODIES WERE JUST LIFTED OUT OF THE TITANIC.
BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE, AT LEAST NOW I KNOW WHAT THEY'D BOTH LOOK
LIKE IF THEY GOT INFECTED IN "THE LAST OF US."
[LAUGHTER] THOSE TWO PHOTOS SIDE-BY-SIDE
ARE A PERFECT.
"WHEN THE EDIBLE HITS" MEME.
DOING YOGA CAN HELP MEN LAST THREE TIMES LONGER IN BED.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE HAS TEXTED ME A NEWS STORY
SAYING, "YOU COULD USE THIS FOR THE SHOW."
IN SOME CASES, IT JUST SEEMED LONGER BECAUSE THE MEN WOULDN'T
SHUT UP ABOUT "OH MY GOD, YOGA WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE."
[LAUGHTER] THIS IS TRUE, AFTER 12 WEEKS
OF YOGA, THE TIME WENT FROM AN AVERAGE OF JUST UNDER 26
SECONDS TO ALMOST A MINUTE AND A HALF.
WOW, 26 SECONDS?
I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS A STUDY ABOUT TANTRIC SEX.
HAVE YOU GUYS GIVEN IT A GO, YOGA?
Ian: NO, I PROBABLY SHOULD.
I'M GETTING TIGHT.
I HAVE A BAD BACK RIGHT NOW.
James: I TRIED YOGA AND FELL ASLEEP, COMPLETELY TRUE
STORY.
COMPLETELY TRUE STORY, BECAUSE THE GUY WAS LIKE, LOOK, THIS IS
ALL ABOUT SMALL GAINS, OVER TIME.
JUST LIE DOWN, BREATHE, AND THEN I WAS OUT ASLEEP.
I WAS COMPLETELY ASLEEP.
AND HE GOT LIKE ANNOYED WITH ME.
THE DUDE GOT ANNOYED.
AND IT WAS LIKE, YOU JUST SAID TO JUST COMPLETELY RELAX.
Ian: IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOGA, HAVE YOU TRIED FROZEN
YOGA?
[LAUGHTER] James: SOME DAYS I THINK,
SHOULD WE END THE SHOW?
IS THIS SILLY?
WALKING OUT ON THE BEST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE, AND THEN THERE ARE
MOMENTS WHERE I SAY, IT'S 100% TIME.
[LAUGHTER] AND WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS.
THE BOSTON DYNAMICS ROBOT DOG TOOK THE RUNWAY AT A FASHION
SHOW THE OTHER DAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
THERE'S THE ROBOT DOG THERE INTERACTING WITH THE MODEL ON
THE RUNWAY.
THE ROBOT THEN HELPS HER OUT OF HER WRAP BY TAKING HER GARMENT.
AND THEN IT HANDS IT BACK TO HER.
JUST THERE, LOOK.
17 DEAD AT THAT FASHION SHOW.
AND SOME INSIDER GOSSIP-- AFTER MODELING IN A PARIS FASHION
SHOW, TODAY THAT ROBOT WAS LINKED TO LEONARDO DICAPRIO.
[LAUGHTER] BUT IT WAS A PRETTY COOL
DISPLAY.
IF IT CAN DO THAT WITH CLOTHES, IMAGINE WHAT IT CAN DO WITH
HUMAN SKIN!
[LAUGHTER] AND FINALLY, WE HAVE A NEW
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD TO TELL YOU ABOUT.
TWO MEN TRADED JERSEYS IN LESS THAN FOUR-AND-A-HALF SECONDS.
HAVE A LOOK.
GO.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] James: YOU WATCH THAT
VIDEO, AND IT FEELS LIKE ONE OF THOSE GUYS WANTED THE
WORLD RECORD MORE THAN THE OTH OTHER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT MORE THAN FOUR AND A HALF SECONDS TO
SEE WHICH GUY CAME UP WITH IT.
ONE GUY IS LIKE WE GOT IT, GRE GREAT.
NOW REGULAR VIEWERS WILL KNOW THAT WE HAVE TRIED TO REPLICATE
WORLD RECORD ATTEMPTS MANY TIMES ON THE SHOW, AND WE HAVE NEVER
SUCCEEDED.
OKAY?
BUT WE ARE GOING TO TRY TONIGHT.
WE'VE ASKED LOUIS AND ROB ENGALLA
TO BREAK THIS RECORD, RIGHT HERE.
THEY'VE BEEN PRACTICING ALL AFTERNOON, AND FOR EXTRA
INCENTIVE, LOUIS, IF YOU SUCCEED, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH
THE REST OF THIS SHOW...
[LAUGHTER] THAT IS YOUR PRIZE.
ARE YOU READY, OKAY.
YOU ARE GOING TO COME UP HERE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OKAY, OKAY.
OKAY, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
YOU FEEL GOOD?
VERY GOOD.
James: YOU ARE IN THE ZONE HERE, WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO YOU
BOTH TO BREAK THIS WORLD RECORD?
EVERYTHING.
James: EVERYTHING.
ROB COMING FEEL GOOD?
I FEEL GOOD, WE DID ALL RIGHT.
James: HERE WE GO, GOOD LUCK, GUYS.
I WILL COUNT YOU DOWN.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SO HANG ON, HANG ON.
HANG ON.
[LAUGHTER] JUST WAIT.
SO THE TIME TO BEAT IS FOUR AND A HALF SECONDS?
4.44.
James: 4.44 SECONDS.
I WILL COUNT YOU DOWN, ARE YOU READY?
THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.
[LAUGHTER] James: TRY AGAIN, THAT WAS
NERVES.
THAT WAS NERVES.
THE PAIR OF YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT UP MORE.
OKAY.
ARMS DOWN, LOUIS.
LOUIS, ARMS HAVE TO BE DOWN.
OKAY?
[LAUGHTER] I REALLY WANT YOU BOTH TO FOCUS
NOW.
THINK ABOUT IT.
THE SHOW ENDS SOON.
[LAUGHTER] AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE A MASSIVE
DIFFERENCE IF YOU LEAVE THIS SHOW AS A WORLD RECORD HOLDER OR
YOU DON'T.
OKAY, HERE WE GO.
ARE YOU READY?
LOUIS, ARMS DOWN.
ARMS DOWN.
THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.
NO, NO, NO.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] James: THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.
ONE MORE.
WHO BELIEVED THIS UP, GUYS!
[LAUGHTER] HAS HONG CHAU HAVE PLANS?
OKAY, HERE WE GO.
THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
James: [BLEEP] OKAY, THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OH, MY GOD, OH, MY GOD!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YES!
YES, THAT'S IT.
THAT'S THE WORLD RECORD!
ROB AND LOUIS, EVERYONE!
THAT'S "TO THE NEWS" WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE "THE
LATE LATE SHOW"!
James: WELCOME BACK.
DOING A SHOW LIKE THIS EVERY NIGHT, WE READ A LOT OF
HEADLINES.
BUT HEADLINES DON'T ALWAYS TELL YOU WHAT THE STORY IS.
SO WE THOUGHT WE'D HELP CLEAR THINGS UP WITH--
OH, WHAT IS HAPPENING?
WAS THERE A POWER OUTAGE?
[SCREAMING] James: OH, MY GOD!
IS EVERYONE-- OH, MY GOD, THAT MAN HAS BEEN
MURDERED!
THERE IS A MAN IN THE AUDIENCE WHO HAS BEEN MURDERED.
WE'VE GOT TO CALL THE POLICE!
NO NEED FOR THE POLICE!
I'LL SOLVE THIS MURDER.
["BUM BUM BUM"] James: WHO ARE YOU?
I'M DETECTIVE BRUCE MUNSON.
AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IS A SUSPECT!
THIS MAN WAS KICKING YOUR CHAIR THE WHOLE
SHOW.
AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO GET THEM TO STOP KICKING,
THEN TO MAKE THEM KICK THE BUCKET.
["BUM BUM BUM"] AND YOU!
I SAW THIS MAN CUT YOU IN LINE.
AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO GET REVENGE ON SOMEONE CUTTING IN
LINE THAN TO CUT THEIR LIFE SHORT.
["BUM BUM BUM"] AND YOU.
James: WAIT, WHAT'S GOING ON UNDER YOUR JACKET?
OH, THIS?
UM, I CAN EXPLAIN.
YOU SEE I WAS PAINTING A HOUSE EARLIER.
RED!
I WAS PAINTING IT RED AND THIS IS JUST PAINT.
James: IT'S STILL WET AND DRIPPING OFF YOU.
IT'S ACTUALLY THIS NEW KIND OF PAINTED THAT NEVER
DRIVES.
IT'S JUST SUPER WET.
James: WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT PAINT THAT NEVER DRIES?
[SCREAMING] THIS MAN HAS BEEN MURDERED!
["BUM BUM BUM"] AND EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU
IS A SUSPECT.
IT COULD BE YOU-- James: YOU'RE HOLDING A
KNIFE!
IT IS CLEARLY YOU.
WE KNOW IT'S YOU!
WHAT?
NO!
ONCE PEOPLE STARTED GETTING MURDERED IN HERE I WAS LIKE
"OKAY, I GOTTA PROTECT MYSELF," SO I GOT THIS KNIFE.
James: THEN WHY DID YOU BRING THE KNIFE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO A VEGETABLE SLICING PARTY AFTER
THIS, YEAH, THAT'S WHY.
James: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A VEGETABLE SLICING PARTY!
SOUNDS LIKE THE WORDS OF SOMEBODY WHO DIDN'T GET INVITED
TO THE VEGETABLE SLICING PARTY.
JEALOUS MUCH?
James: I'M NOT JEALOUS BECAUSE THERE'S NO SUCH THING!
[SCREAMING] WHAT IS GOING ON?
OKAY, I CAN ADMIT THIS LOOKS BAD.
BUT I CAN EXPLAIN.
YOU SEE, THIS MAN HAS BEEN MURDERED--
["BUM BUM BUM"] AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU AS A
SUSPECT.
James: THAT'S ENOUGH.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE EVEN STILL HERE.
SECURITY?
CAN YOU BRING THIS GUY TO THE POLICE, PLEASE?
HE IS CLEARLY A MURDERER.
I'M INNOCENT!
LET ME GO!
MARK MY WORDS, JAMES CORDEN, YOU WILL NEVER BE INVITED TO A
VEGETABLE SLICING PARTY AS LONG AS I LIVE!
James: LET'S JUST GET HIM OUT.
[SCREAMING] OH, MY GOD.
HE'S DEAD.
MAYBE HE REALLY WAS INNOCENT.
AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IS A SUSPECT!
James: ALRIGHT, GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
James: WELCOME BACK.
LET'S MEET OUR GUEST TONIGHT!
HE STARS IN "THE DONOR PARTY," ROB CORDDRY!
Reggie: ♪ IT'S ROB CORDUROY CORDDY ♪
James: AND SHE STARS IN "THE WHALE," IT'S HONG CHAU!
♪ IT IS HONG CHAU ♪ ♪ AND WE ARE DOING THIS RIFF ♪
James: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, THANK YOU FOR COMING.
WE HAVE A LITTLE BOSTON CONNECTION TONIGHT.
ROB, YOU ARE FROM BOSTON, AND HONG YOU MOVED TO BOSTON TO GO
TO UNIVERSITY.
DID YOU ENJOY BEING AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY?
Hong: NO, I DID NOT.
IT WAS VERY COLD.
I AM A TROPICAL BLOODED PERSON, AND I ALSO GREW UP IN LOUISIANA,
SO BOSTON WAS THE WRONG DECI DECISION.
Rob: I GOT IT.
Hong: I WENT TO VISIT THE CAMPUS, BUT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL
SPRING DAY AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING THERE, AND WHEN
YOU GROW UP IN LOUISIANA OR AT LEAST FOR ME IN, I JUST WAS SO
ANXIOUS TO GET OUT OF THERE.
IT FELT LIKE A LITTLE COUNTRY MOUSE WHO WANTED TO BE IN A BIG
CITY.
BUT THE WRONG CITY.
James: WHEN DID IT DAWN ON YOU HOW COLD IT WAS?
Hong: WRITES WHEN THE WINTER HIT, IT GETS DARK AT
3:00 P.M.
Rob: IT GETS DARK EARLY.
James: DO YOU MISS THE WEATHER WHEN YOU LIVE IN
LOS ANGELES?
Rob: YEAH, I SAY YEAH, BUT LIKE-- I CAN'T HANDLE IT
ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN HAVING, WE HAD A BLIZZARD HERE, RIGHT?
AND OF COURSE IN LOS ANGELES, THAT JUST MEANS WE GET RAIN.
AND MY WIFE WAS GOING UP THE 5, AND IT STARTED SNOWING FOR ABOUT
15 SECONDS.
AND SHE SENT ME A VIDEO, AND I WAS LIKE OH, WOW!
OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
BUT I JUST KEPT HEARING, I ALWAYS HEAR MY BOSTON FRIENDS IN
MY HEAD WHENEVER ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME, YOU KNOW, THEY
ARE LIKE OH, YEAH, YOU GOT SOME SNOW, SNOW FOR 15 SECONDS!
WHAT A WINTER WONDERLAND!
[LAUGHTER] OH, YOUR MAJESTY, I HOPE YOUR
MAJESTY PACKED A SWEATER!
James: I GREW UP, I THINK THAT LONDON IS VERY SIMILAR TO
BOSTON, I MISS THE IDEA OF SEASONS.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO SENSE OF TIME WHEN I AM HERE IN
LOS ANGELES.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING.
I HAVE ENJOYED THIS LITTLE-- Rob: I LIKE WEATHER, YOU
KNOW, WHEN IT GETS WINDY, THAT IS OUR SNOW I GUESS.
James: WEATHER, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OR DO
ANYTHING, BUT TRADITIONALLY AND NORMALLY, IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO
RAIN AND BE BAD WEATHER ON THE OSCARS WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT
FOR YOU, HONG, BECAUSE THEY ARE THIS SUNDAY AND YOU ARE
NOMINATED FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IT'S AN AMAZING TIME, TALK TO
ME, TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE BEEN AND HOW YOU ARE
FEELING IN THIS MOMENT TO THAT ARE HAVING?
Hong: IT HAS BEEN REALLY WILD, I AM NATURALLY GOOD AT
TAKING A COMPLIMENT, BUT I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF
COMPLIMENTS AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO NICE, THAT I JUST KIND OF
HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND LEARN HOW TO BE GOOD AT IT AND SAYING
THANK YOU!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND, YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY PROUD
OF OUR MOVIE!
I LOVE THE CAST AND OUR DIRECTOR, SO IT'S JUST A REALLY
WONDERFUL PROJECT TO GET NOMINATED AND RECOGNIZED FOR.
James: DO YOU FEEL ANY NERVES GOING INTO SUNDAY?
NERVOUS ABOUT THE EVENT OR CEREMONY?
HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?
Hong: NO, BECAUSE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AT THE PGA AWA
AWARDS, DARREN SAID TO ME, "YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN,
RIGHT?" AND I JUST KIND OF CHUCKLED, AND
THEN HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER WAS LIKE, NO, YOU KNOW
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN?
YOU HAVE NO SHOT AT WINNING, YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?"
BUT HIS POINT WAS SO JUST HAVE A FINE, SO THAT'S WHAT I AM TRYING
TO TAKE OUT OF THAT.
James: SO ARE YOU ENJOYING IT?
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO YOU PICK OUT YOUR OSCAR DRESS?
YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WEARING, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN IN
ALL OF THIS MADNESS?
Hong: I'VE SEEN A SKETCH OF THE OSCAR DRESS, IT'S ARRIVING
TOMORROW.
James: THAT IS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE MADE IT, HONESTLY,
WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, THIS IS A SKETCH OF WHAT YOU WILL WEAR,
IT'S NOT BUILT YET.
SO YOU HAVE SEEN A SKETCH.
Hong: I'VE SEEN A SKETCH AND I AM EXCITED TO TRY IT ON.
THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR ME, BECAUSE THEY HAD A BABY TWO
YEARS AGO AND AFTER MY BABY WAS BORN I ORDERED TWO SHIRTS, TWO
PAIRS OF PANTS, TWO SHORTS FROM PATAGONIA, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE
WORN FOR TWO YEARS.
I KIND OF LOOK LIKE SOMEONE FROM A POST-APOCALYPTIC SURVIVOR
SHOW.
THAT'S WHAT I NORMALLY LOOK LIKE.
SO THIS HAS BEEN REALLY WILD TO GET DOLLED UP EVERY DAY.
James: ARE YOU SOMEONE WHO ENJOYS GOING TO A STAR-STUDDED
EVENT, AWARD SHOWS?
DO YOU ENJOY THAT ENVIRONMENT?
Rob: NO, NO, I DO NOT, JAMES CORDEN.
AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY, BECAUSE I AM NOT GOOD AROUND
CELEBRITIES.
I ALWAYS PUT MY FOOT IN MY MOUTH, SO I FEEL LIKE I JUST
HAVE AN AWFUL TIME.
CASE IN POINT, YOU WANT TO HEAR A TIME ONE OF THE MANY TIMES
THAT I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH A CELEBRITY?
RON PERLMAN, YOU KNOW FROM "SONS OF ANARCHY" WONDERFUL ACTOR,
ICONIC, HE WAS BEHIND ME IN THE LINE AT THE SUPERMARKET, AND I
WAS LIKE, OH, CRAP" AND THIS IS HOW I FEEL WHEN I SEE SOMEBODY I
LIKE, I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING, RIGHT?
BUT I AM GOING TO SCREW IT UP.
AND I HAD THIS ARGUMENT GOING IN MY HEAD AND FINALLY I SAID, JUST
DO IT, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, AND I WENT, HEY, I'M SORRY, BUT I
JUST HAVE TO SAY THIS, AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING LIKE
THAT, IT'S JUST BAD NEWS.
"I JUST HAVE TO SAY THIS, BUT...
YOU THE MAN ♪."
ACTUALLY, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE EVEN SAID "YOU DA MAN."
I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT BEFORE OR AGAIN.
YOU THE MAN?
AND HE WAS LIKE, OKAY THANK YOU.
JUST WHAT YOU THINK HE WOULD DO.
THAT'S AN ODD THING FOR YOU TO SAY TO ME, BALD MAN.
[LAUGHTER] James: LET'S TALK ABOUT
"THE WHALE," THE REVIEWS THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED, AND THE
ENTIRE CAST, FOR ANYONE THAT DOES NOT KNOW, TELL US WHAT IT
IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY?
Hong: BRENDAN FRASER PLAYS A MAN WHOHAS GONE THROUGH A
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AND HAS HAD A FEW TOUGH YEARS AND HE IS TRYING
TO RECONNECT WITH HIS TEENAGE DAUGHTER WHO HAS BEEN ESTRANGED
FROM, AND THESE ARE THE FINAL DAYS, AND IT'S A REALLY
HEARTBREAKING, BUT I HAVE HEARD ALSO UPLIFTING STORY.
James: I URGE ANYONE TO SEE IT.
LET'S LOOK AT A CLIP FROM "THE WHALE" IN THEATERS AND ON
DEMAND RIGHT NOW.
IT'S BIG I REALLY HATE YOU FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS AGAIN,
YOU KNOW THAT?
THOSE LAST FEW MONTHS BEFORE ALAN, I WOULD COME OVER AND
SHAKE HIM AND JUST TRY TO GET HIM TO [BLEEP] BE SOMETHING.
IT WAS AWFUL.
IT WAS AWFUL FOR ME TOO.
IT'S BECAUSE YOU DID NOT HAVE TO IDENTIFY HIS BODY ALL BLOATED.
THEY WOULD NOT LET ME, I WAS NOT FAMILY.
[APPLAUSE] James: STICK AROUND, MORE
WITH THESE TWO WHEN WE COME BACK.
YES, YOU TWO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
COULD'VE SWORN IT WAS A CANOE.
IT'S ASSIGNED TO YOU.
OH, THANK YOU.
DIDN'T YOU GIVE UP HER REFINED SUGAR YEAR, I THOUGHT
YOU DID, WHAT ARE YOU GIVING UP THIS YEAR?
I'M JUST GIVING UP.
[LAUGHTER] OH, THAT'S OKAY.
IT'S NOT SAD OR ANYTHING.
[LAUGHTER] ♪ ♪
James: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM "THE DONOR PARTY" WHICH IS IN
THEATERS AND ON DEMAND RIGHT NOW.
CONGRATS ON THE MOVIE, TELL US WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU
PLAY.
Rob: IT IS ABOUT A WOMAN IN A SITUATION WHERE SHE WANTS A
BABY AND DOES NOT SEE IT IN HER FUTURE.
AND SHE CAN'T AFFORD THE TRADITIONAL AVENUES, SO HER
FRIENDS THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO USE MY PARTY, MY BIRTHDAY
PARTY AS THE PLACE TO BRING PEOPLE TO INSEMINATE HER, I
GUESS.
YES, ONE GUY AND THE AUDIENCE WENT--
[LAUGHTER] MEANING LIKE, YOU KNOW, SEX.
James: I AM A HUGE FAN OF "TO THE MENU" IT'S A BRILLIANT
FILM AND YOUR PERFORMANCE AND IT IS--
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN IT
IT SET IN THE WORLD OF HIGH-END RESTAURANTS, YOUR BEST REVIEW
CAME FROM THE CHEF CONSULTANT ON THE MOVIE.
WHAT DID SHE SAY?
Hong: WE HAD DOMINIQUE KREN SERVE AS A CONSULTANT, THE FIRST
FEMALE CHEF TO BE MICHELIN STARRED IN IT.
AND I WAS VERY-- JUST TALKING TO HER, BUT SHE CAME UP TO ME
AND SHE SAID, I LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
I WANT YOU TO COME AND WORK FOR ME.
AND SO IF THE ACTING THING DOES NOT WORK OUT, I HAVE A JOB.
James: SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON.
AND HE WORKED IN THE RESTA RESTAURANT--
YOU WORKED AT A HORROR THEMED RESTAURANT?
Rob: YES, JEKYLL AND HYDE.
James: WHAT WAS YOUR ROLE?
Rob: IT WAS A HORROR THEMED RESTAURANT CALLED JEKYLL AND
HYDE, AND I WAS DRIED WORTHY THE WISECRACKING BUTLER.
AND I BASICALLY WOULD WALK AROUND IN A MORNING SUIT AND IN
A TRANSATLANTIC ACCENT I BASICALLY JUST INSULT PEOPLE AT
TABLES.
THAT WAS MY WHOLE JOB.
James: SO THAT'S WHAT YOU DID?
Rob: YES, JUST INSULT PEOPLE.
James: WHERE PEOPLE NOT IN DON'T MAKE INVITING OF THIS
THING?
Rob: YES, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO BE INSULTED.
SPECIFICALLY THERE WERE TWO WOMEN DURING THE DAY AND THEY
JUST WERE NOT LAUGHING.
I WAS GIVING MY A MATERIAL, DREADWORTHY TOP OF THE PILE,
THEY WERE LAUGHING AT ALL, AND FINALLY ONE OF THE WOMEN SAID,
CAN YOU JUST LEAVE US ALONE?
AND I WAS LIKE, NO, I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALONE!
AND SHE SAID "WE JUST GOT BACK FROM A FUNERAL."
AND I WAS LIKE "WELL, WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU COME TO JEKYLL AND
HYDE."
THIS IS ON YOU.
I WILL LEAVE, BUT THIS IS ON YOU.
James: REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR A GUEST THIS
EVENING?
Reggie: YES, I DO.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION-- [DRUMROLL]
OF THE COOKING OILS YOU HAVE USED COLLECTIVELY, WHETHER
HEATING THEM UP FOR FRYING PURPOSES OR USING THEM AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE TO BE INCLUDED IN DISHES THAT REQUIRE THAT, WHAT
ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE COOKING OILS?
Hong: QUICK AND NOT OIL, REGGIE.
Rob: COCONUT OIL, I WAS GOING TO SAY STRAIGHT OLIVE OIL,
REG, IT IS SO VERSATILE.
PURE VIRGIN.
Reggie: I AM AFRAID THAT BOTH OF THOSE ANSWERS ARE
CORRECT.
James: ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, PLEASE WELCOME HONG CHAU,
