What a week. Photo: TBS/NBC/Youtube/Getty Images Where to even begin describing this century of a week? Like everything and everyone the world over, late-night television was primarily focused on one thing and one thing only: the coronavirus.
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert On Thursday night, Stephen Colbert began his show by running through his empty audience, hands flailing above his head — an almost physical manifestation of the anxiety that coronavirus has wrought. “We don’t know whether it’s a feather or a brick,” Colbert admitted in his audienceless opening monologue.
The Late Late Show With James Corden James Corden, who is known more for singing with friends while fake-driving cars than incisive societal commentary, stayed true to form this week by not going all-in on the coronavirus. While he did address the virus, it was more or less business as usual on The Late Late Show. One segment that stood out among the rest was the “Shock Therapy Quiz” Corden took with his Into the Woods wife, Emily Blunt.
