James Corden and Ken Jeong take a look back at the humble beginning of their career, when they were hungry and making their way acting in local TV commercials for hot tubs, reptile expos and a class action toaster lawsuit. Each with the common theme of being a parody of TLC's 1990s hit "No Scrubs."

Each weeknight, James Corden invites the audience to join in on the fun as the Emmy Award-winning THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN features a mix of celebrity guests, musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by giving a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide Corden with original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reins as host in March 2015, the show has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as "Carpool Karaoke."
