Jordan Peele, Nick Kroll, and Ryan Adams join James Corden on The Late Late Show for an entertaining hour filled with music, laughter, and conversation. Peele, famous for his comedic success and his recent venture into the horror genre with the award-winning movie Get Out, talks about his new upcoming project called "Us." Peele cryptically hints at the twisted storyline of the movie and how it relates to current societal issues.
Kroll, known for his work in TV shows such as The League and Big Mouth, discusses his latest role in the new animated movie Secret Life of Pets 2. Kroll dives deep into his character Snowball, a bunny who thinks he's a superhero, and how he managed to channel his inner superhero for this role.
Ryan Adams graces the Late Late Show stage with his guitar and performs his newly released song "Manchester." The singer-songwriter talks about the inspiration behind the song, dedicated to the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, and the positive impact it has had on the families affected.
Corden, Peele, and Kroll engage in a hilarious bit called "Finish the Lyric" where they sing popular songs and try to remember the missing lyrics. The trio's comical interplay and their hilarious narrative offer an enjoyable moment of the show. Additionally, the show features a segment "Take a Break" where James Corden takes over a hotel room designated for an eventual relaxation.

The principal conversation of the show steers towards the future of TV series by remaking iconic movies in a series format. Peele gives his perspective on how Get Out's success affected him as a writer, producer, and director.

Nick Kroll takes the conversation forward by talking about how the success of his Netflix animated show Big Mouth has opened new doors for him. He also mentions how he's seeing more animation engaging with culturally sensitive and relevant topics that were previously ignored.
James Corden brings up the topic of musicals, which transcends his acting career in the movie Cats. He asks Ryan Adams what he thinks the most musically significant film of all time is.
