5 Reasons James Cordon Is The King Of Late Night

If you haven't heard of James Corden, it's probably because his late-night talk show, "The Late Late Show" is what people would consider to be late, 12:37 EST. I am essentially a nocturnal human, so I catch his show most nights. For those of you who enjoy going to bed at a reasonable hour, I will be listing the reasons you should staying up past your bedtime to watch his show nightly.

1. Carpool Karaoke


James Corden has introduced the world to the most glorious thing that has ever graced our television screens. The premise of these segments is that he is late to work and needs someone to ride in the car with him so he can use the carpool lane. Naturally, he invites famous music artists to come along with him, and they sing along to their hits and couple of their favorites by other artists, with some other shenanigans thrown in for good measure. Just check out this Carpool Karaoke with Adele, you won't regret it.

2. He's up to do anything on his show.

And by anything, I mean literally anything. He has segments that you wouldn't expect to see on a late night show, and even puts himself in some crazy positions in the spirit of fun. He even almost got a tattoo during the show. Yeah, he's up for anything.

3. He can actually sing.


It's obvious when he harmonizes with the artists during his Carpool Karaoke segments that he's a talented dude, but he took it to the next level with his Superbowl episode where he performed with Boyz II Men. It was just as iconic as it sounds.

4. All of his guests interact during the episode.


Instead of bringing the guests out individually, he gets them all to sit on the same couch which makes things so much more interesting. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but I really enjoy seeing celebrities interact with each other, and with a host like James Corden, it makes it even better.

5. He doesn't take himself seriously.


I think my favorite thing about James Corden as a late night show host is his ability to completely let go of any inhibitions during his show and do anything to get the laugh. Every time I watch his show, he has me laughing out loud and on the verge of tears from laughing so much. When you watch his show, you're guaranteed television that'll make you laugh and lift your spirits.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
