James Corden Speaks
About a Divided America , in Last ‘Late Late Show’ Appearance.
April 27 was Corden's last time
hosting 'The Late Late Show.'.
In his farewell speech, he touched on the current state of America. .
We started this show with Obama,
then Trump and a global pandemic.
I’ve watched America change a lot.
I’ve watched divisions grow and
I’ve felt a sense of negativity boil over, James Corden, via 'The Late Late Show'.
Just because somebody disagrees with you it doesn’t make them bad or evil. We are all more the same than we are different. , James Corden, via 'The Late Late Show'.
There are so many people who are trying to stoke those differences and we have to try as best we can to look for the light, look for the joy. If you do, it’s out there. That’s all this show has ever been about, James Corden, via 'The Late Late Show'.
Adele also appeared on the show in
the final 'Carpool Karaoke' segment.
Corden asked the singer if she'd ever
pursue EGOT status since she already has
an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar.
You have the EGO, James Corden, via 'The Late Late Show'.
Adele wasn't confident that
she'd ever attain EGOT status.
I really don’t think that that is ever gonna happen. I would never write a musical or anything like that because I (expletive) hate musicals. I also think the EGO suits me better, Adele, via 'The Late Late Show'.
Harry Styles and Will Ferrell
were the final guests on the show.

I surprised a lot of people when I named Ambassador Susan Rice as my Domestic Policy Adviser. , President Joe Biden, via statement.

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.
