Affable late night fixture James Corden is celebrating his first proper Thanksgiving in America (U-S-A! U-S-A!) and he’s cobbled together a few observations about the holiday.
The Brit launched last night’s edition of The Late Late Show with a hilarious monologue poking fun at Thanksgiving tropes (“A day where Americans celebrate what they have before realizing they need more and ditching dinner to sit outside Best Buy”) and likens it to the run-up to Christmas in England. It turns out that ruined turkey and fat ex-classmates are par for the course across the pond too. Are you going to get gags about Americans being mesmerized by parades? Darn tootin’ you are.
Elsewhere in Late Late Show Thanksgiving chatter, our trustworthy CBS staple offers up some sensible advice. For the courtesy of the viewing public, Corden outlines why you shouldn’t deep fry a turkey or Instagram your Thanksgiving dinner. Charades are out too.
“Never being able to unsee your mother’s interpretation of Basic Instinct” earns spot #1 in the host’s “5 Reasons Not To Play Charades After Thanksgiving Dinner” rundown.
Come for the monologue, stay for footage of deep fried turkeys wreaking havoc and take notes on why stuffing never looks good on camera.
