It's Our Director's 5000th Show!

James kicks off the night with a surprise congratulations to The Late Late Show director Tim Mancinelli for his 5,000th episode as part of the team. Tim began at the show 27 years ago as a production assistant and worked his way up to director. The whole crew loves Tim so much - he's the greatest in every sense of the word. Congratulations! And to think such a milestone could happen on the day we learned former President Donald Trump had a "music man" to play show tunes when he needed to calm down.

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."
