NOW, I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE STUDIO AFTER
BEING AWAY FOR MONTHS, FRESH OFF A SUMMER BREAK.
AND WE'RE COMING BACK TO A WHOLE NEW REALITY.
WE'RE ON A NEW SET.
WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING A WHOLE NEW SHOW,
PERSONALLY.
I FEEL EXCITED.
I FEEL THIS IS A TIME FOR BOLD, NEW IDEAS.
I JUST GOT BACK A FEW DAYS AGO, BUT I TRUST THE
ENTIRE CREATIVE TEAM AND THE WRITERS HERE
COMPLETELY, SO I SAID TO THEM, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO
SEE ANYTHING IN ADVANCE.
JUST SURPRISE ME ON THE SHOW, I KNOW IT WILL BE
GREAT.
I'VE GOT THESE CARDS HERE, I'VE GOT A TELEPROMPTER IN
FRONT OF ME, SO LET'S DIVE IN AND SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT.
LET'S START WITH THE TOP ONE, RIGHT, ROB?
>> YES, MAN!
[LAUGHTER] >> James: SO LOTS OF
TODAY'S MOST POPULAR TELEVISION SHOWS ARE
HAVING TO REBRAND TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH THE
CURRENT TIMES.
SO HERE ARE THE TOP 10 REBRANDED TV SHOWS YOU CAN
LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING.
COMING IN AT NUMBER 10: WE'RE ALL REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO HBO's REBRANDED SCI-FI WESTERN
TEST WORLDS.
EVERYBODY.
AND COMING IN AT NUMBER NINE: THE POPULAR BIG BANG
THEORY SPIN-OFF "YOUNG MASK ON."
WHO WROTE THIS.
DID NATE WRITE THIS.
NATE, IS THIS YOU?
>> YES, YES, IT IS.
>> James: THIS IS LITERALLY DAVID
LETTERMAN'S TOP 10 BIT.
>> TO MY MEMORY, THE LETTERMAN BID DIDN'T HAVE
JAMES CORDEN DOING IT.
SO IT SEEMS DIFFERENT TO ME.
>> James: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS DOING IT, IT
IS STILL THE SAME IDEA.
>> IS IT, THOUGH?
>> James: IT IS.
YOU HAD SIX WEEKS TO COME UP WITH ALL NEW STUFF.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I DID.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF NEW IDEAS IN THERE.
CHECK THE NEXT ONE, AND YOU'LL LOVE THE NEXT IDEA.
>> James: THE NEXT CARD HERE?
>> YEAH.
>> James: OKAY.
HERE WE GO.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE SAYING SOME
PRETTY MEAN THINGS TO ME ON TWITTER.
AND I THOUGHT TONIGHT I'D READ SOME.
♪♪ >> James: WE WATCHED AN
EPISODE OF JAMES CORDEN'S SHOW AT MY CHURCH, AND
NOBODY BELIEVES IN GOD ANYMORE.
[LAUGHTER] >> James: WHO WROTE
THIS?
WAS IT NATE, WAS IT YOU AGAIN?
>> YES, I BELIEVE IT WAS.
>> James: WELL, THIS IS -- THIS IS JUST JIMMY
KIMMEL'S MEAN TWEET?
>> IS IT, THOUGH?
>> James: YES.
IS THIS WHOLE THING ME READING NASTY TWEETS?
>> THAT'S YOU READING MEAN TWEETS.
>> James: THAT'S WHAT HE CALLS IT.
IT IS HIS MOST FAMOUS SEGMENT.
>> IS IT, THOUGH?
>> James: IT IS.
IT 100% IS.
EVEN THE GRAPHICS WERE THE SAME.
>> ARE THEY, THOUGH?
>> James: STOP SAYING THAT.
YES, THEY ARE.
>> OKAY, FINE.
ALL RIGHT.
THERE ARE PLENTY MORE IDEAS.
WHEN YOU SPEND THE ENTIRE SUMMER CHAINED TO A DESK
LIKE I WAS, WRITING NEW THINGS, THERE IS BOUND TO
BE SOME CROSS-OVER.
JUST GO TO THE NEXT ONE.
IT IS GOING TO BLOW YOUR MIND, THAT'S A PROMISE.
>> James: ALL RIGHT.
BUT THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
>> IS IT, THOUGH?
>> James: STOP IT.
YES, IT IS.
>> JUST READ THE PROMPTER AND DO THE BIT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GRAB A PEN FOR THIS ONE.
IT WILL HELP YOU SELL IT.
>> James: A PEN, OKAY.
>> AND SOME MUSIC.
STEVE, CAN YOU DO THE UM...
♪♪ [LAUGHTER]
>> James: DEAR HAND SANITIZER, THANK YOU FOR
CLEANING MY HANDS, BUT ALSO FOR MAKING THEM SMELL
SO WEIRD I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM IN MY MOUTH.
RIGHT, THIS IS JIMMY FALLON'S THANK YOU NOTE.
>> IS IT -- >> James: DON'T SAY IT.
DO NOT SAY IT!
WHAT'S GOING ON, NATE?
YOU'VE HAD SIX WHOLE WEEKS.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
>> I'VE BEEN WRITING, OKAY.
WRITING A LOT.
TRYING TO COME UP WITH NEW STUFF FOR YOU AND IT IS
REALLY, REALLY STRESSFUL, I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING AT
NIGHT AND I STAY UP WATCHING TV.
>> James: REALLY?
YOU WATCH TV INTO THE NIGHT.
DID YOU THINK THAT MAY HAVE AN AFFECT ON THE KIND
OF STUFF YOU'VE BEEN WRITING?
>> HONESTLY, IT IS HARD TO SAY.
>> James: I THINK IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS.
>> DID IT, THOUGH.
>> James: YES.
FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU CANNOT DO THIS.
YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN OTHER PEOPLE'S IDEAS.
>> YOU'RE SIX WEEKS OUT, WHAT ARE YOUR GREAT IDEAS.
ARE YOU GOING TO PITCH WE SING A SONG AGAIN?
REAL ORIGINAL IDEA, JAMES, THAT WE SING A SONG.
NO ONE HAS EVER SANG A SONG BEFORE.
[LAUGHTER] >> James: I HAD OTHER
IDEAS, BUT WE COULDN'T DO THEM BECAUSE OF SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS.
>> SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
YOU DO REALIZE THAT'S JUST WHAT PEOPLE SAY WHEN YOU
HAVE A BAD IDEA?
>> James: WHAT, SO MY PARODY OF MY SHARONA
CALLED MY CORONA WAS A BAD IDEA?
>> YES, YES IT WAS.
>> James: IS IT, THOUGH?
ALL RIGHT.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY THAT I SAID THAT YOU TOOK OTHER PEOPLE'S
IDEAS.
I'M SURE -- I'M SURE THAT THIS IS ALL JUST A
COINCIDENCE, OKAY?
I APOLOGIZE.
>> OKAY, I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGIZE.
[YELLING] >> James: WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?
>> NATE TOLD ME TO SCARE YOU LIKE THEY DO ON ELLEN.
>> James: BUT DID HE SAY THE WORDS, "LIKE THEY DO
ON ELLEN?" >> YEAH.
>> James: I KNEW IT.
NATE, WHERE DID HE GO.
NATE!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, EVERYBODY!
