Josh Robert Thompson to guest on TLLS


Josh has announced on his tweety that he will be a guest on TLLS with guest-host Drew. His segment will tape next Thursday, January 15. If you're in the Los Angeles area, tickets are available through 1iota here: http://1iota.com/show/157/The-Late-Late-Show#list

Not sure what night it'll air. Drew appears to be taping shows next week to be aired at the end of the guest-host pre-Corden block.

(Edited to fix taping date.)

That's awesome. I wish he were taking over. Him or Drew.

You haven't been watching this past week's episodes, have you?

I watched 1/2 of the first show and the monologue from the second one and haven't been back since. Was Drew always this unfunny or is he just ill-prepared?

Also, the floor is black again. Is the show in the old or new studio? The new one had wooden floors. Can't believe they saved the black flooring unless they are now doing the show in the old studio. The red curtains from the new studio are there. I'm confused.

reply

As pure speculation I'd guess they're building a new set for Corden in the new studio, and this is the old one with the newer Ferguson set pieces moved there for this interim period.

Would be perfectly sensible to make a fresh start for Corden with a set of his choosing or at least a new one. After all, it's his show now within the LLS franchise, not a continuation of the Ferguson version, which is what the guest hosts are doing until March.

I think I get it now. I was thrown off by the old black flooring and newer red curtain being together. Thanks llyathe.

Me? I've watched all week. Not all the way through cause didn't care much about the guests. Never watched Craig all the way through either. Depended on the guests.

Oh is this just another "Drew is a terrible host" thing? I already posted in the other topic. Don't feel like retyping.

reply

It still looks like the same Stage 56 to me -- I don't think this set would even fit in the old tiny Stage 58. They may have put the black floor back in, as part of their unsuccessful attempt to change it enough to be not-Craig.

They'll have plenty of time before the last interim show and when Corden starts to remodel. With CBS now owning TLLS outright, I wouldn't be surprised to see him moved to an even bigger stage. Though they don't really have any to spare, unless they double up with one of the other shows.

Would be great if it was actually Geoff on the show as the guest voice by JRT.

reply

I doubt Josh would think that'd be great. LOL
