EVERYBODY. HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING.
DID EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD WEEK OFF?
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE? IAN.
A GOOD WEEK OFF? WHAT DID YOU DO.
>> I WENT TO DISNEYLAND. A BARBECUED.
I SLEPT IT WAS 3 FOR 3, BABY. >> James: 3 FOR 3.
A TOTAL, I DID A TOTAL SWITCH OFF.
>> YEAH. >> James: YEAH, YEAH, NO
PHONE, NO TV, REALLY CUT MYSELF OFF.
HAVE I MISSED ANYTHING? DID I MISS ANY NEWS?
I WISH THAT WAS THE CASE. AS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN
LAST WEEK THERE WERE STORIES ABOUT ME BEINGS BANNED FROM A
RESTAURANT. AND AT THE TIME I CONSIDERED,
YOU KNOW, LIKE TWEETING ABOUT IT OR INSTAGRAMING ABOUT IT.
LIKE WHENEVER THESE SORTS OF MOMENTS COME MY WAY, I LIKE TO
ADOPT QUITE A BRITISH ATTITUDE. SORT OF KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON,
THINGS ARE GOING TO GET WRITTEN ABOUT ME, NEVER COMPLAIN, NEVER
EXPLAIN. IT'S VERY MUCH MY MOTTO.
BUT AS MY DAD POINTED OUT TO ME ON SATURDAY, HE SAID SON, WELL,
YOU DID COMPLAIN. SO YOU MIGHT NEED TO EXPLAIN.
LOOKINGS WHEN YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, YOU HAVE TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD, IF IT IS
OKAY, I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
SO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I WAS IN NEW YORK WITH SOME FRIENDS
AND WE WENT FOR BREAKFAST AT ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE
RESTAURANTS, A PLACE CALLED BALTHAZAR AND GENUINELY I LOVE
IT THERE, I LOVE THE FOOD, THE VIBE, THE SERVICE.
IF I LIVED IN NEW YORK I WOULD GO EVERY DAY, ON THE PROADVICEO,
YOU KNOW, THAT THEY WOULD LET ME IN.
SO WE SIT DOWN, WE ORDERED. AND MY WIFE EXPLAINED THAT SHE
HAS A SERIOUS FOOD ALLERGY, RIGHT.
SO WHEN EVERYBODY'S MEALS CAME, MY WIFE WAS GIVEN THE FOOD THAT
SHE WAS ALLERGIC TOO. TO, SHE HADN'T TAKEN A BITE, WE
SENT ITK BA, ALL WAS GOOD. AS HER MEAL CAME WRONG TO THE
TABLE THE THIRD TIME, IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT, I MADE, I
MADE A SARCASTIC, RUDE COMMENT, RIGHT, ABOUT COOKING IT MYSELF.
AND IT IS A COMMENT I DEEPLY REGRET, RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTIES OF BEING A SERVER.
I WORKED SHIFTS AT RESTAURANTS FOR YEARS.
I HAVE SUCH RESPECT AND I VALUE ANYONE THAT DOES SUCH A JOB.
AND THE TEAM AT THAT RESTAURANT ARE SO GREAT.
THAT IS WHY I LOVE IT THERE. THE RESTAURANT MANAGER AND THE
SERVER, THEY WERE LOVELY. THEY WERE LOVELY, THEY BROUGHT
OUT FOUR GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE AS AN APOLOGY.
BUT WE WERE LIKE THAT IS NOT NECESSARY.
WE DON'T NEED IT WE HAD A GREAT TIME, EVEN FOR ME T WAS TOO
EARLY TO START DRINKING. SO BUT HERE IS THE TRUTH OF IT,
RIGHT, BECAUSE I DIDN'T-- BECAUSE I DIDN'T SHOUT
OR SCREAM, LIKE I DIDN'T GET UP OUT OF MY SEAT.
I DIDN'T CALL ANYONE NAMES OR USE DEROGATORY LANGUAGE, I HAVE
BEEN WALKING AROUND THINKING THAT I HADN'T DONE ANYTHING
WRONG, RIGHT. BUT THE TRUTH S LIKE I HAVE, I
MADE A RUDE COMMENT. AND IT WAS WRONG.
IT WAS AN UNNECESSARY COMMENT. IT WAS UNGRACIOUS TO THE SERVER.
SO LAST MONDAY THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT HAD HEARD WHAT
HAPPENED AND HE INSTAGRAMED THAT I WAS BANNED FROM THE RESTAURANT
FOR TWO OFFENSES. ONE WAS A MEAL THAT I THINK WAS
BACK IN 2014 WHEN I SENT A DISH BACK THAT HAD HAIR IN IT.
AND THE OTHER WAS LAST WEEK, SO WHEN I READ THIS POST I-- I
IMMEDIATELY, I GOT HOLD OF THE PHONE NUMBER, I CALLED HIM
STRAIGHT AWAY AND I TOLD HIM HOW UPSET I WAS.
I UPSET I WAS THAT ANYBODY WAS HURT BY ANYTHING THAT I HAD
DONE. AND ANYTHING THAT I HAD SAID.
AND WE HAD A GOOD TALK. HE APPRECIATED THE CALL.
I WAS HAPPY THAT WE GOT TO CLEAR THE AIR, AND I FELT LIKE WE
DEALT WITH IT PRIVATELY, YOU KNOW.
BUT BY THIS POINT, THE STORY WAS OUT THERE.
AND WELL, PEOPLE WERE UPSET. WHEN I BECOME PRESIDENT OF HELL
I'M GOING TO MAKE SUPER HELL AND PUT JAMES CORDEN IN IT.
>> I HATE CARPOOL KARAOKE MUCH I DON'T EVEN SING TO MYSELF ANY
MORE. AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE WHICH
WAS WAIT, JAMES CORDEN HAS A WIFE?
(LAUGHTER) RIGHT?
NOW LOOK, I GET IT. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY GETTING UPSET AND I ACCEPT EVERYBODY'S
OPINION. I ALSO HATE, AS I SAID TO THE
OWNER THAT DAY, THAT I WAS EVER UPSET ANYBODY EVER, IT WAS NEVER
MY INTENTION. IT JUST WASN'T.
AND I LOVE THAT RESTAURANT. I LOVE THE STAFF THERE.
I HOPE I'M ALLOWED IN AGAIN ONE DAY.
SO WHEN I'M BACK IN NEW YORK I CAN GO THERE, AND APOLOGIZE IN
PERSON WHICH IS SOMETHING I WILL ABSOLUTELY DO.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THE "LATE, LATE SHOW."
>> James: WELCOME BACK, IT'S THAT TIME, IT'S TIME FOR THE
NEWS. >> James: AND THERE'S SOME BIG
NEWS FROM MY HOMELAND. THE UNITED KINGDOM HAS A NEW
LEADER! IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT
FORMER FINANCE MINISTER RISHI SUNAK WILL BE THE U.K.'S NEXT
CONSERVATIVE PRIME MINISTER, FOLLOWING BORIS JOHNSON AND
LIZ TRUSS. THERE IT IS, BRITISH POLITICS,
SOLD. NOW I SHOULD SAY WE TAKE THIS
AROUND 4 P.M., SO BY THE TIME THIS SHOW AIRS, THERE COULD
ALREADY BB SOMEBODY ELSE IN THERE WE DON'T KNOW.
AS A MAN OF PUNJABI INDIAN DESCENT, HE'S THE FIRST PERSON
OF COLOR TO LEAD THE U.K. AND, AS A 42-YEAR OLD, HE'S THE
FIRST PRIME MINISTER WHO PROBABLY OWNED A LIMP BIZKIT CD.
>> HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW? >> I'M 38.
>> James: 38, I MEAN IF YOU JUMPED INTO POLITICS NOW.
>> YEAH. >> James: YOU RECKON YOU COULD
BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BY 42?
>> FOUR MORE YEARS? IF I'M RACIST AGAINST THE RIGHT PEOPLE,
I GOT IT LOCKED UP. >> Reggie: TRUE.
>> DON'T OO ME, OH AMERICA. >> James: TAKING OVER THE JOB
SUNAK IS TAKING OVER THE JOB, OF COURSE, AFTER LIZ TRUSS
ABRUPTLY RESIGNED FROM OFFICE LAST THURSDAY.
TRUSS ONLY LASTED 44 DAYS ON THE JOB, MAKING HER THE
SHORTEST-SERVING PRIME MINISTER IN BRITISH HISTORY.
I GUESS THAT'S ONE WAY TO BECOME THE ANSWER TO A TRIVIA QUESTION.
WHILE 44 DAYS IN OFFICE IS SHORT, HAVING "PRIME MINISTER OF
THE UNITED KINGDOM" ON HER RESUME IS SURE TO IMPRESS THE
ANY MANAGER THAT IS HIRING AT NANDOS.
I ALWAYS FEEL FOR AMERICA, THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT NANDO'S IS.
HOW MANY AMERICANS KNOW WHAT NANDOS IS.
PUT YOUR HAND UP, SEE, NOT MANY. NOT MANY, NOT A LOT.
>> James: YOU KNOW WHAT I DID THE OTHER DAY.
>> WHAT'S THAT. >> James: HOT ONE, YOU KNOW
THE SHOW HOT ONE. >> DID YOU SURVIVE.
>> James: YES, DID ALL TEN, DID THE LOT.
>> HOW DID IT GO? >> James: NOT GREAT.
IT WAS NOT PLEASANT. I MEAN I LOVE SEAN, LOVED DOING
IT. IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
I THINK I DRUNK SEVEN PINTS OF MILK.
HONESTLY, SEVEN PINTS OF MILK. >> IS ICE CREAM AN OPTION?
DID YOU EAT ICE-- THAT IS HOW I WOULD GO.
>> James: THEY BRING YOU ICE CREAM AT THE END BECAUSE I THINK
YOU DON'T, I THINK PERHAPS EATING ICE CREAM IN BETWEEN ALL
OF THEM COULD MAKE YOU FEEL-- I HAD MILK AND THEY BRING YOU ICE
CREAM AT THE END. AND THERE WAS ONE MOMENT WHERE,
I HONESTLY FELT LIKE MY WIFE WAS GOING TO EXECS PLOAD.
I WAS LIKE-- THE THING IS FOR ME, I DON'T EVEN, I CONSIDER
LIKE TABASCO TO BE HOT SAUCE. THAT IS HOW-- YEAH, I KNOW.
>> WHY DID YOU DO IT. >> James: YEAH T WAS, I LOVED
DOING IT. BUT I DIDN'T, I MEAN THE WHOLE
LIP, THE WHOLE THING. >> HOW WERE YOU AFTERWARDS.
FINE, UNTIL ABOUT 3 A.M. AND THEN I THINK IT WOULD BE
UNGENTLEMANLY OF ME TO SHARE ANY OTHER DETAILS ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH. >> LIKE THE FIRE SIDE OF A FIRE
HYDRANT. >> James: THERE IS A SONG
ABOUT IT. >> YEAH, RING OF FIRE.
>> James: LIZ TRUSS LASTED JUST 44 DAYS ON
JOB, AND YET NICK BERNSTEIN KEEPS HANGING ON.
CHEERS TO YOU, NICK. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT.
IT'S INCREDIBLE. >> I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD
RESIGN, OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE-- LONG TIME PROBABLY.
>> James: IN OTHER POLITICAL NEWS, DID YOU SEE THIS, ON
FRIDAY FORMER TRUMP ADVISOR STEVE BANNON WAS SENTENCED TO
FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL FOR DEFYING A JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE
SUBPOENA. OBVIOUSLY BANNON IS APPEALING,
WHICH IS A SENTENCE EVEN STEVE BANNON HAS NEVER HEARD BEFORE
FOUR MONTHS IS A TERRIBLE TIME FOR PRISON SENTENCE, LONG ENOUGH
TO KNOW YOU ARE IN PRISON BUT NOT LONG ENOUGH TO GET
ABSOLUTELY JACKED. YOU CAN'T MAKE INROADS ON YOUR
TRICEPS ISES. >> YEAH, SOME OF THESE ARE JOKES
AND SOME ARE JUST GREAT OBSERVATIONS.
>> James: THEY'RE JUST FACTS. BANNON HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO
JAIL. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE
ALREADY HAPPENED-- BUT MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE STEVE BANNON
ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HE JUST GOT OUT OF PRISON.
AND, THERE'S A NEW ELECTION CONTROVERSY TO TELL YOU ABOUT.
AN ITALIAN MAYOR IS NOW FACING BACKLASH AND CLAIMS OF A RIGGED
ELECTION! OH, AND DID I MENTION, THE MAYOR
IS A CAT? IT'S TRUE.
THE TOWN HAS A HISTORY OF ELECTING A CAT AS AN HONORARY
"MAYOR OF ANIMALS." I JUST LIKE THAT AN ITALIAN CAT
WAS SWORN IN AS MAYOR, AND THAT'S NOT THE CONTROVERSIAL
PART OF THIS STORY. OPPONENTS SAY THE ELECTION WAS
RIGGED, BUT THE CAT DEFENDED ITSELF.
HE WAS LIKE, "I PROMISE, THE ONLY THING FIXED IS ME!"
>> THERE IS NO NOISE LIKE IT WHEN YOU HEAR CATS HAVING A
FIGHT THERE IS NO NOISE LIKE IT. >> YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS
HAPPENING. >> James: CORRECT, CORRECT.
>> James: THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE NOISE.
>> THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
YOU HAVE EVER WALKED IN LIKE A ROOM OR ANYTHING WHEN, WE USED
TO HAVE A CAT, WE USED TO HAVE A CAT AND ONE TIME I WALKED INTO
OUR KITCHEN AND THERE WAS OUR CAT AND ANOTHER CAT IN OUR
KITCHEN, YOU KNOW, IT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING A CAT.
AND SO BUT THERE WERE BOTH T WAS TWO CATS.
OR CAT AND A CAT I DIDN'T KNOW AND THE FOOD, THE FOOD WAS LIKE
IN BETWEEN THEM. AND THE TWO OF THEM WERE JUST
DOING THIS. (LAUGHTER)
THEY WERE DOING THIS, I OPENED-- SO I OPENED THE DOOR.
RIGHT. I OPENED THE DOOR, ONE OF THEM
GOES-- LIKE THAT. AND AS SOON AS HE DOES THAT THE
OTHER ONE JUST BANG, GONE. AND THAT WAS IT.
FULL FIGHT AROUND THE WHOLE ESTATE.
>> THIS IS A SAFE SPACE, RIGHT. >> James: IT CERTAINLY FEELS
IT. >> RIGHT, DO BRITISH CATS MEOW
DIFFERENT? (LAUGHTER).
>> James: IT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
>> RIGHT? >> James: IT IS AN
EXTRAORDINARILY GOOD QUESTION. >> YEAH.
>> James: I IMAGINE THEY DO. >> RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEARD
AMERICAN CATS. >> James: I HAVE.
>> YOU HEARD BRITISH CATS. >> ames: YES.
IT IS SIMILAR. >> YEAH.
>> James: BUT ONE IS JUST EVER SO SLIGHTLY LOOKING DOWN ON YOU
MORE THAN THE OTHER. AND IT IS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE
WHICH IS WHICH. AND FINALLY DID SEE THIS, A
COMPANY IS MAKING CUSTOM SNEAKERS FOR HORSES, HE TAKE
BRANDED SHOES FOR HUMANS AND REPURPOSES THEM TO HIT, LOOK AT
THAT, FINALLY LINE YE YOUR HORSE CAN RUN AROUND IN AIR FORCE ONES
THE WAY GOD INTENDED. IF I WANT TO SEE SOMEONE RUNNING
AROUND IN EXPENSIVE SNEAKERS WHILE WEARING NOTHING ELSE, I
WILL JUST GO TO IANS ON THE WEEKEND.
SNEAKERS FOR HORSES OR AS THEY ARE ALSO KNOWN, MARY JORDANS.
YOU SEE WHAT WE DID THERE? DO YOU GET IT.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, EVERYBODY.
>> James: WELCOME BACK. I THINK I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE
HERE AT THE SHOW WHEN I SAY, OUR FAVORITE PART OF HALLOWEEN
IS THE CANDY AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS.
THE GENEROUS FOLKS AT HERSHEY KNOW IT, TOO,
BECAUSE THEY'VE GIVEN US THIS INCREDIBLE "LATE LATE SHOW"
CANDY BAR TO ENJOY ALL WEEK. IT'S FULLY STOCKED WITH KIT-KAT
BARS AND REESE'S CUPS. THIS WHAT NOT MADE LIFE EASY FOR
YOU AND I. THEY HAVE DONE A NICE THING BUT
FOR US A WHOLE WEEK, HOW AM I GOING TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.
>> I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE OUR DESK OVER TO THAT SIDE OF THE
SHOW. >> James: IMAGINE IF WE COME
BACK TOMORROW YOU SAT IN THERE, COVERED IN REESES.
>> DHOK LAT FACE LIKE ATHREE YEAR OLD TODDLER, YEAH, GREAT
IDEA. WHATEVER YOU THINK, I'M IN.
>> James: TUNE IN TOMORROW, THAT MIGHT HAPPEN BUT RIGHT NOW
LET'S MEET OUR GUESTS TONIGHT. SHE STARS IN "TICKET TO
PARADISE!" PLEASE WELCOME BILLIE LOURD!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) AND HE STARS IN "ABBOTT
ELEMENTARY!" IT'S TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
>> James: BLESS YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO SEE US.
BILLY, LOOK AT YOU, LOOK AT THIS, LOOK, ARE YOU GLOWING.
>> I'M LITERALLY SPARKLING. >> James: HOW ARE YOU FEELING
I'M TOO PREG NANTZ TO BE OUT OF MY HOME, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY
PLACE I WANT TO BE. >> James: WE LOVE YOU FOR
THAT, WE DO, WE LOVE YOU FOR THAT.
>> IT IS BECAUSE I THOUGHT WERE YOU A TRAINED OB.
>> James: NO, I'M NOT. >> THAT'S DEVASTATING, YOU
SHOULD BE. >> James: THAT IS NOT TRUE.
BUT YOU FEEL GOOD, HOW DO YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE PREGNANCY.
>> I'M FEELING GOOD, I'M A PSYCHOPATH, I JUST GOT BACK FROM
LONDON AND DID AMERICAN HORROR STORY BEFORE I DID THIS MOVIE SO
I AM FEELING A LITTLE CERTIFIABLE, LAST TIME I WAS
WATCHING SOPRANOS SO IT WAS AN EASIER VIBE SO BUT HERE HI

EASILY, YEAH, YEAH. >> James: YOU DO NOT WANT TO
TELL SOMEONE WHO SELF SEN MONTHS PREGNANT THAT, BECAUSE THEY WILL
GET YOUR NUMBER. >> I AM LOOKING FOR A NANNY.
>> I'M LOOKING FOR A PART TIME. >> BECAUSE I'M SERIOUS, REALLY
IN THE MARKET. >> James: HOW DID YOU LEARN
YOU HAD SUCH A GIFT. >> MY VOICE DROPPED WHEN I WAS
LIKE 14. AND WAS CARRYING ONE OF MY GOD
KIDS AND I WAS JUST HUMMING TO WHATEVER I WAS LISTENING TO FROM
THE TIME, I WAS JUST HAVING MY REGULAR DAY, NEXT THING I KNOW
HE'S KNOCKED OUT. AND IT IS THE RESONANCE OF MY
CHEST THAT KIND OF SENTED HIM OFF.
>> James: BUT NOT SINGING TO HIM, NOTHING.
>> NO, JUST HUMMING. HUMMING, TALKING, ALL OF THAT.
>> James: THAT SAY BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO HAVE YOU COME, I DON'T
KNOW IF PEOPLE KNOW THIS, YOU COME FROM A FAMILY OF MUSICIANS,
YOUR PARENTS WERE BACKUP SINGERS FOR HUGE ACTS LIKE PATTI
LABELLE, LUTHER VANDROSS. >> YEAH.
>> James: WHEN THEY WOULD GO ON TOUR, DID YOU GO ON TOUR AND
SPEND TIME WITH THEM AT THE KID. >> I WAS MORE OF A STUDIO BABY.

SCREAMING, CRYING, LIKE CRYING BLOODY MURDER ABOUT ABOUT BECOME
HELD BY LUTHER VANDROSS WHO IS JUST CUDDLINGS WITH HIM, MY
BROTHER CAN'T STAND IT THOSE ARE THE FAMILY PHOTO WES HAVE AROUND
THE HOUSE. >> James: OH MY GOSH, LUTHER

BIG 3-0. >> HONESTLY, SO MUCH BETTER.
I'M FINALLY, MY BOD BODY IS FINALLY GETTING CLOSER TO THE
AGE OF MY SOUL WHICH IS LIKE 57. SO IT FEELS HEALTHIER FOR ME TO
SAY 30 THAN SOMETHING LIKE 29 OR 12 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> James: RIGHT. >> SO IT FEELS MORE NORMAL.
>> WHAT ABOUT YOU. >> 100 PERCENTMENT I REFUSED TO
LEAVE THE 70S, SO I AM ABOUT 65, 70, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> I'M WITH YOU. >> James: BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT
YOU AS A YOUTHFUL, YOUNG. >> I'M JUST SMALL, JUST SMALL.
>> James: I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
>> I THINK IT MIGHT BE MY HEIGHT, YEAH.
NOT MY SOUL, MY SOUL IS OLD AS HELL.
>> James: AND ARE YOU ENJOYING 30, ONLY BEEN A FEW WEEKS.
>> I'M LOVING 30. IT IS SUCH A GOOD AGE.

COME ON THE-- YOU KNOW? NOW BILLIE, LET'S TALK ABOUT
YOUR BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE, TICKET TO PARADISE IT SAY BIG
OLD-FASHIONED ROMCOM. NOW YOU SHOT THIS MOVIE WITH
GEORGE CLOONEY AND JULIA ROBERTS ON A BEACH.

>> IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BRUTAL TIMES IN MY LIFE, I REALLY,
REALLY SUFFERED. THEY ARE REALLY UNATTRACTIVE,
HORRIBLE PEOPLE AND BEACHES ARE HORRIBLE PLACE TO WORK.
IT WAS JUST REALLY, I SUFFERED IMMENSELY.
>> James: WHEN YOU WERE FILMING IT, YOU WERE LIKE OH,
THIS IS HOW DE CAP RIO FELT IN THE REV ADVANCE.
>> 100 PERCENT, WRAPPED IN THAT HORSE JUST CRYING, THAT IS HOW I
FELT ON THE BEACH WATCHING THE WAVES.

US ABOUT THE MOVIE AND TELL US WHO YOU PLAY.
>> TICKET TO PARADISE SAN OLD-FASHIONED ROMCOM WITH THE
TWO OLD-FASHIONED, I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT T IS RUDE WHEN YOU CALL
PEOPLE OLD. THEY'RE NOT OLD.
THEY'RE SUPER YOUTHFUL, THEY ARE IN THEIR 30S.
THEY'RE SUPER YOUTHFUL BUT IT IS A REALLY FUN, ESCAPIST ROMCOM
AND THEY ARE JUST THE REALIST MOVIE STARS OF ALL THE REALIST
MOVIE STARS OF ALL TIMES. AND I PLAY A CHARACTER NAMED REN
WHO IS THE ULTIMATE THIRD WHEEL PSYCHO DRUNK PERSON.
WHICH IS BASICALLY ME ON A WEEKEND WHEN I'M NOT PREGNANT.
I'M OFF RIGHT NOW, I'M ON A HIATUS FROM BEING THE THIRD
WHEEL. SO BUT THAT IS ME IN THE MOVIE.
AND IT IS SO MUCH FUN. AND IT IS SO COOL THAT IT IS IN
THEATERS BECAUSE WAVES DON'T LOOK AS BIG ON IPHONES SO YOU
REALLY GOT TO GET IN THERE AND IN THE THEATER.
>> James: AND IN THE CLIP WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE GEORGE CLOONEY
IS THROWING WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE SOME PRETTY IMPRESSIVE DANCE
MOVES. >> IT IS SHOCKING.
>> James: WHAT IS IT LIKE BEING IN CUT LOOSE ON THE DANCE
FLOOR. >> ST TRULY OTHERWORLDLY T IS
AGAIN LIKE LEO IN THE REV ADVANCE IN THE HORSE CARCASS,
LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY LIFE, I'M CRYING, WHAT IS GOING
ON. IT WAS AMAZING.
HE WAS REALLY SWEATING AND THERE WAS NO CHOREOGRAPHER, THEY
REALLY THROUGH THEIR SOULS INTO IT IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WAY IT
WAS A MASTER CLASS IN BEER PONG, I SUCK AS BEER PONG, I THOUGHT I
WAS GOD UNTIL I PLAYED WITH GEORGE CLOONEY.
HE WAS REALLY GOOD. AND HE SWEATS BEAUTIFULLY, HE
REALLY DOES. >> THAT SHOULD BE ON THE TOP OF
HIS RESUME. >> HE SWEATS STUNNINGLY, GEORGE
CLOONEY. SOMEONE COULD HAVE SOLD THE
SHIRT THAT HE SWEAT THROUGH BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY DUFL.
>> LET ME KNOW IF THEY GET AROUND TO THAT.
>> I WOULD BUY IT, I WOULD BUY IT.
>> James: I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HIM PER SPIRING.
ISN'T THAT AMAZING. I CAN'T SEE IT.

WEDNESDAYS AT 9:00 ON ABC! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SHOW.
THE BIGGEST HIT, I MEAN A HUGE HIT WITH CREDITS, WITH AUDIENCES
ALIKE. CURRENTLY IN ITS SECOND SEASON.
TELL EVERYBODY WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SHOW THIS SEASON.
>> GOOD, THIS SEASON IT IS MY CHARACTER GREGORY'S FIRST TIME
AS A FULL-TIME TEACHER. HE'S NOT DOING THE BEST AT THAT.
BUT ULTIMATELY IT WAS THIS NICE LITTLE ART WE LEWDED TO OF WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN CHARTER SCHOOLS START POPPING UP IN PUBLIC
SCHOOL AREAS AND HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE DISPARITY WITH THOSE
STUDENTS, IT IS ONE THING TO TALK ABOUT THEM AND THEN THE
WHAT THEY WON'T SAY, WHICH I CANNOT TILL, I'M SO SORRY.
>> James: HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE WILL THEY, WON'T THEY
SOMETHING-- THE SHOW IS GOING TO RUN I THINK THE FOR YEARS.
>> IT DEPENDS HOW LONG THEY WANT US TO GO CAN I CONFIRM THERE IS
A COURT THAT HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ABOUT WILL THEY OR
WON'T THEY. I THINK EVERYONE ASSUMES WILL
THEY, IT WILL, BUT SHE IS JUST LIKE I'M NOT POSITIVE IT WILL GO
THAT I WAY. >> James: THEY MIGHT WON'T
THEY. >> THEY MIGHT WON'T THEY.
>> James: YOU AND THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW AND THE STAR OF THE
SHOW, YOU HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR MANY YEARS, WHEN DID YOU FIRST
HEAR ABOUT THIS SHOW AND WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEARD
ABOUT IT? >> THIS SHOW WAS THE ONE SHINING
MOMENTS OF 2020. WE WERE LOCKED IN THE HOUSE, AS
MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WERE AS WELL.
QUINTA AND I REALIZED WE LIVED DOWN THE BLOCK FROM ONE SNORE
ANOTHER. IN THE MIDST OF THIS SHE CAME UP
WITH THIS IDEA AND DMED ME AS WE WERE CHECKING WITH EACH OTHER,
MAKE SURE WE WERE STILL, YOU KNOW, ALIVE, IN THE MIDST OF
EVERYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING. AND IT WAS LIKE HEY, I'M
THROWING YOUR NAME INTO THIS PITCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND
IT JUST HAPPENED TO WORK OUT. >> James: I'M SO PLEASED IT
DID YOU ARE SO GOOD IN THE SHOAVMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME I
EVER SAW YOU WAS IN "EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS" WAS WHEN I-- I KNOW
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. BUT BILLIE, YOU ACTUALLY WANTED
TO BE CHRIS ROCK. >> YEAH, THERE SAY WEIRD
CONNECTION HERE. >> DID YOU READ?
>> THERE IS REALLY. >> I SHOULD HAVE READ, BUT IT IS
A TRUE STORY. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP MY MOM
ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED TO BE. AND AT 8 YEARS OLD I SAID CHRIS
ROCK. AND A NEUROSURGEON.
BOTH WHICH IS A REALLY WEIRD COMBINATION, BUT TRUE.
>> I WANT THOSE THINGS FOR YOU, YOU CAN STILL ACCOMPLISH YOUR
DREAMS, YOU STILL CAN. >> James: IF YOU ARE 8 YEARS
OLD, WHAT PART OF CHRIS ROCK DID YOU-- DID YOU SEE.
>> IT WAS ONLY GOING HAPPEN WHEN YOU GROW UP WITH CARRIE FISHER
AND ARE YOU SITTING IN YOUR BEDROOM AND WATCHING CHRIS ROCK
STAND UP ALL THE TIME WHICH MOST EIGHT YEAR OLDS AREN'T, BUT I
WAS. SO THAT IS WHAT WAS GOING ON.
>> YOU WERE PROBABLY AT MORE TIME SEEN MORE OF CHRIS' WORK
THAN I HAD. >> MAYBE, AND PROBABLY MORE THAN
MOST EIGHT YEAR OLDS. >> James: YOU HAVE GOT A LOT
OF LAUGHS COMING YOUR WAY WHEN YOU COME OUT.
>> GET READY. >> James: REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE
A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: YES, I DO. DO YOU GUYS EVER GO FISHING OR
HAVE YOU EVER GONE FISHING AND HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE KIND OF
GROSS, FOR ANY REASON AT ALL, WHILE YOU ARE FISHING?
LIKE IF YOU ARE, LIKE WHETHER YOU ARE HANDLING BAIT OR WHETHER
YOU GET, LIKE THERE SAY WACKY SITUATION WHERE A TACKLEBOX SOAP
AND YOU KIND OF STUMBLE AND PUT YOUR FOOT IN IT AND KIND OF GO
OH, I HAVE A TACKLEBOX SHOE. THAT.
>> THAT IS THE ONLY TIME I DON'T FEEL GROSS.
>> YEAH, YEAH. >> BUT I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION
BECAUSE I DON'T GET THAT OFTEN. >> I FEEL MOST AT HOME WHEN I'M
PUTTING A WORM ON A HOOK, SORRY FOR THE WORM.
>> YEAH. >> James: THAT IS GOING TO BE
THE NAME OF YOUR BOOK, RIGHT. >> SORRY TO WORM, THE BILLIE
LOURD STORY. >> I'M GLAD THIS IMERS PRODUCED
A HEALTHY TITLE FOR A BOOK. YOU ARE CORRECT.
>> James: THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
BILLIE LOURD, TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS.
STICK AROUND, WE HAVE STAND UP FROM ANDREA JIN RIGHT AFTER THIS
>> James: WELCOME BACK, OUR NEST GUEST IS A BRILLIANT STAND
UP COMEDIAN. WE ARE HONORED SHE MADE OUR SHOW
TO MAKE THER LATE-NIGHT TELEVISION A DREW.
PLEASE WELCOME ANDREA JIN. >> HI, HI, EVERYBODY.
HI. I IMMIGRATED HERE FROM CHINA, IS
THAT OKAY? IS ARE WE FEELING, OKAY, YEAH, I
MEAN IT DOESN'T MATTER, I'M NOT LEAVING SO-- I GOT IN, YEAH.
WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD.
AND THERE WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON ME TO LIKE THE DISNEY
PRINCESS MULAN, YOU KNOW. THAT IS OKAY.
BUT I DIDN'T LIKE HER VERY MUCH. SECRETLY MY FAVORITE PRINCESS
WAS ACTUALLY SLEEPING BEAUTY BECAUSE SHE WAS ASLEEP FOR THAT
WHOLE MOVIE. AND WHEN SHE WOKE UP, SHE HAD A
CASTLE AND MONEY, LIKE THAT'S MAGICAL.
MULAN HAD TO CUT HER HAIR OFF WITH A SWORD AND THEN FIGHT A
WAR. THAT'S NOT WHAT I IMMIGRATED
HERE FOR. I JUST WANTED TO HANG OUT.
THAT'S T YOU KNOW. ALSO MULAN'S STORY WAS JUST SO
CLOSE TO YOU WILL A THE ASIAN STORIES THAT I HEARD IN CHINA
ALREADY. SHE WASN'T SAYING ANYTHING
DIFFERENT, IT WAS LIKE OH, YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD, YOU HAVE TO
HONOR YOUR COUNTRY, AND BE AWAKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
SO SLEEPING BEAUTY WAS LIKE A FEM NIN ICON IN CHINA, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. I AM BISEXUAL WHICH IS-- THANK
YOU, YES, I DO A LOT, YES. BUT IT IS SOMETHING I REJECTED
AS A PART OF MYSELF FOR A LONG TIME THOUGH BECAUSE OF MY
CULTURE. I FEEL LIKE ASIAN PEOPLE ARE
VERY REPRESSED PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY OUR FOOD TASTES SO
GOOD, YOU KNOW. CUZ IT JUST GENERATIONS OF
PEOPLE LIKE PUSHING IT, LIKE ASIAN PEOPLE PUSHING IT DOWN,
RIGHT. LIKE NOT LETTING THEIR FEELINGS
OUT, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU SEAL IN THE FLAVOR.
THAT'S HOW YOU PUT SOUP INTO DUMPLINGS, OKAY.
ALSO, IF ARE YOU ALWAYS MAKING LIKE A 48 HOUR NOODLED SOUP
THERE IS BASICALLY NO TIME TO BE LIKE, WAIT, AM I GAY?
(LAUGHTER) YEAH.
THAT'S ASIAN GAY CONVERSION THERAPY, RIGHT.
GETTING A CROCKPOT, YOU KNOW. I LIVED WITH MY GRANDPARENTS FOR
A REALLY LONG TIME. AND THEY DO THIS THING WHERE
THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE LIKE 30 TO 40 BAGS OF RICE AT HOME.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT COMES FROM.
LIKE HAVING GRANDPARENTS IS KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU GET A RESCUE
DOG. LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEM BEFORE THEY GOT TO YOU.
(LAUGHTER) LIKE WHY ARE YOU GROWLING AT THE
TV, YOU KNOW? AND SO THEY HORDE RICE, AND ST
NOT THE LITTLE BAGS THAT YOU LIKE TO GET WHEN YOU ARE LIKE
LET'S-- MAKE SOME SUSHI WITH CARROTS IN IT.
THAT'S YOU GUYS, RIGHT? NO, IT'S LIKE THE BIG, IT'S THE
BULK ONES, RIGHT T IS MADE OF CLOTH LIKE SOMEONE SEWED IT
TOGETHER WHILE CRYING, RIGHT? AND WE GO TO COSTCO FOR THESE
BAGS OF RICE. AND YOU GUYS KNOW THAT SAYING
LIKE DON'T GO TO THE GROCERY STORE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH?
BECAUSE YOU END UP BUYING TOO MUCH, RIGHT.
WE HAVE A SIMILAR SAYING WHERE I AM FROM, IT GOES LIKE THIS, ST
LIKE DON'T GO TO THE BULK FOOD STORE IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD A
COMMUNIST DICTATOR. (AUGHTER)
YEAH, CUZ YOU BUY TOO MUCH, OH NO.
AND SO IT IS A REAL PROBLEM AT THE IND OF THE COSTCO TRIP, LIKE
MY GRANDPA AND I ARE STANDING IN THE PARKING LOT WITH A TRUNK
OPEN, WE CAN'T FIT EVERYTHING WE BOUGHT INTO THE CAR.
LIKE WE'RE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER LIKE-- WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DO WE
DO? AND WE SAID THIS TO EACH OTHER,
WE WERE LIKE, WHAT IF WE LEFT GRANDMA HERE.
(LAUGHTER) THAT WILL FIT, RIGHT.
MY GRANDMA IS LIKE IN THE CIRCLE, YOU KNOW, SHE IS
LISTENING, SHE IS LIKE YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
YEAH, LEAVE ME HERE, OBVIOUSLY, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
IT IS CUZ IF WE LEAVE RICE THERE, LIKE SOMEONE IS GOING TO
TAKE IT. YOU KNOW.
BUT IF WE LEAVE MY GRANDMA THERE, NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE
HER. CUZ SHE'S A BURDEN.
(LAUGHTER) ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU. (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE).

BEFORE WE SAY OUR FINAL GOOD NIGHT WES WERE ALL SHOCKED BY
SOME DEVASTATING NEWS TODAY WHICH WAS THAT THE ACTOR AND
PERFORMER LESLEY JORDAN PASSED AWAY TODAY AT 67.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MEET LESLEY, HE WAS A TRUE, TRUE, ONE
OF A KIND. HE BROUGHT SO MUCH LIGHT AND JOY
TO THE WORLD THROUGH HIS PERFORMANCES.
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT TO ME, HIS VIDEOS DURING
LOCKDOWN WAS A RAY OF SUNSHINE IN WHAT WAS A DARK, DARK MOMENT
FOR US ALL. AND HE STILL, HE STILL MANAGED
TO SHINE A LIGHT INTO OUR LIVES. ANYBODY HERE WHO WORKED ON OUR
SHOW, WHOEVER GOT TO WORK WITH HIM, THEY LOVED HIM.
THEY LOVED HIM SO MUCH. AND WE WILL MISS HIM VERY, VERY
MUCH, THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGHS, LESLIE, REGGIE, TAKE US HOME.
