We're back in the studio after 6 weeks off and we're really wondering why we're doing this work thing at all. And we've got a lot of news to catch up on from Dr. Anthony Fauci announcing he will step down from his post and the kids mullet championship. And before we go to break Ian surprises James with a very special desk to celebrate his birthday which leads to ice cream flying around the studio and Senior Vice President of Late Night Programming (West Coast) Nick Bernstein getting covered in chocolate syrup.

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers 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 original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."
