As per usual, James Corden started the show with his monologue, which was filled with topical jokes and humor about recent events. Next, he did a skit where he played a "fake" news anchor who delivered fake news stories to his audience. The first guest of the night, Oprah Winfrey, then sat down with James for an interview. Oprah spoke about her role in "A Wrinkle in Time" and how important the film's message of hope and being yourself is for everyone, especially young people.

The third guest of the night, Mindy Kaling, then joined Oprah and Reese on stage. Mindy spoke about how great it was to work with such a diverse cast and how Ava DuVernay was a great director to work with. Mindy then went on to talk about her own recently released book, "Why Not Me?" which is a collection of personal essays. Mindy discussed the writing process and how important it was for her to be honest and open about her experiences.
After the interviews, James Corden did a fun sketch where he and the three guests acted out scenes from "A Wrinkle in Time" using only green screens. The results were hilarious and the audience loved it. The show then wrapped up with James thanking his guests and promoting the film "A Wrinkle in Time" one last time.
