In season 5, episode 143 of The Late Late Show With James Corden, which originally aired on Thu, Sep 17, 2020, viewers are invited to experience a unique and intimate episode titled "From His Garage." The episode sees host James Corden take the show to his own garage due to COVID-19 restrictions, offering a more personal and stripped-down version of the popular talk show.
One of the guests for this special edition of the show is none other than multi-talented actor and singer Neil Patrick Harris. Known for his starring roles in popular TV series How I Met Your Mother and medical drama Doogie Howser, MD, Harris has also made a name for himself in Broadway productions and as a host of numerous award shows. Harris chats with Corden about his current projects, including his role in Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events, his love for magic, and his latest book.
Also joining Corden in his garage is legendary musician Ziggy Marley, who performs alongside Ben Harper. Ziggy Marley, the eldest son of music icon Bob Marley, is a celebrated artist in his own right, having won numerous Grammy Awards for his reggae and world music. Harper, a renowned musician and songwriter in his own right, adds to the musical offerings of the show with his own unique sound. Together, the trio performs a soulful rendition of the classic Bob Marley song "Redemption Song."
Throughout the episode, Corden manages to capture the essence of the typical Late Late Show, despite the different setting. This includes the signature segment of "Carpool Karaoke," in which Corden and Harris sing along to some of their favorite songs while cruising through the garage. The audience also gets treated to a segment called "Take A Break," in which Corden plays a hilarious elevator operator for CBS Television City, pranking the unsuspecting workers who enter his elevator with his quirky sense of humor.
In addition to the celebrity interviews and musical performances, the show also features some moments of levity and humor. From the playful banter between Corden and Harris to the mustache-twirling shenanigans of Corden's Take A Break segment, the episode provides a much-needed respite from the stress and uncertainty of the outside world.
Overall, season 5, episode 143 of The Late Late Show With James Corden offers a unique and entertaining spin on the traditional talk show format, thanks to Corden's ability to adapt to different circumstances. His hosting skills, coupled with the talents of Harris, Marley, and Harper, make for a memorable and enjoyable episode that leaves viewers wanting more.
