WOW THANK YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT, I'M CHANCE THE RAPPER FILLING IN FOR JAMES
CORDEN WHO IS OFF ON HOLIDAY.
SO GRAB YOURSELF A CUPPA TEA AND A SCONE AND WE'RE GOING TO-- .
>> Reggie: YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE A BRITISH ACCENT.
>> OH, I JUST ADMIRE HIM SO MUCH, OKAY, THANK GOD, WHOA,
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
I'M CHANCE THE RAPPER (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
BUT TONIGHT I'M NOT A RAPPER, I'M A HOST.
SO PLEASE ADDRESS ME AS HOST THE RAPPER.
(LAUGHTER) HONESTLY, IT IS SO GREAT TO BE
HERE TONIGHT WHEN JAMES ASKED ME TO COME OUT TO L.A. AND FILL IN
FOR HIM, I SAID I CAN'T WAIT.
NOT BECAUSE I WANTED TO HOST BUT BECAUSE IT'S DECEMBER AND I LIVE
IN CHICAGO.
SO I HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT A DAY BUT I ALREADY FEEL
LIKE I HAVE BEEN LEAVING A HUGE, LASTING IMPRESSION ON EVERYONE
HERE, ESPECIALLY MY PALS UP IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
YEAH.
YES.
(APPLAUSE) LOOKING GOOD, GUYS.
LOOKING GREAT.
ALL RIGHT.
SO THIS IS THE PART WHERE JAMES TELLS JOKES ABOUT THE NEWS.
>> YEAH.
>> SO THESE ARE MY NEWS JOKES.
FIRST OFF, IF YOU THOUGHT YOUR COMMUTE TO WORK THIS MORNING WAS
BRUTAL, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
THERE WAS A TRAFFIC JAM OUTSIDE OF PAFER IS THIS MORNING-- PARIS
THIS MORNING THAT WAS 391 MILES LONG.
YEAH.
THE TRAFFIC JAM WAS A RESULT OF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS ON STRIKE.
THE EMPLOYEES REFUSING TO SHOW UP TO WORK TODAY INCLUDED BUS
DRIVER, TRAIN CONDUCTORS, TAXI DRIVERS AND APPARENTLY JAMES
COVEREDEN.
-- CORDEN.
(LAUGHTER) A 391 MILE LONG TRAFFIC JAM.
I HAD NO IDEA PARIS EVEN HAD THE NEW POPEYE'S CHICKEN SANDWICH.
(LAUGHTER) RIGHT?
DRIVERS IN PARIS WERE UNDERSTANDABLY UPSET, NEEDLESS
TO SAY THERE WAS ALLOTS OF, PARDON MY FRENCHES.
ALL RIGHT.
IN OTHER NEWS, THE HALLMARK CHANNEL APOLOGIZED YESTERDAY
AFTER TAKING DOWN A COMMERCIAL THAT FEATURES TWO BRIDES
KISSING.
MOST OF THE HALLMARK CHANNEL VIEWERS WERE UNAWARE OF THE
CONTROVERSY BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY DRINKING WHITE WINE
WITH THEIR CATS.
IN THE APOLOGY HALLMARK SAID LOVE IS LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS
WHETHER IT IS BETWEEN A MAN WITH BROWN HAIR AND A QUIRKY WOMAN
WHO OWNS A BAKERY OR, ACTUALLY, THAT'S IT.
(LAUGHTER) FINALLY, HERE'S A CRAZY STORY.
THIS IS COMING STRAIGHT OUT OF AUSTRALIA.
A COUPLE RETURNED HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY AND WERE SHOCKED
BY WHAT THEY FOUND IN THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE.
A TEN FOOT LONG COILED UP PYTHON.
TAKE A LOOK.
YEAH.
EVEN WORSE, ONE OF THE GIFTS UNDER THE TREE WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE A NEW PUPPY.
A PYTHON ON A CHRISTMAS TREE OR AS SAMUEL L. JACKSON WOULD CALL
IT, SNAKES ON A PINE.
