GANG, IT IS OUR FINAL SHOW.

>> James: AN WHEN I SAY A FEW OF US, I MOSTLY MEAN SUSAN.
SUSAN IS-- YEAH, SUSAN IS BOOZEIN, SUSAN IS BOOZEIN HONESE
LEAST.
>> IF SHE WASN'T WEARING THAT FACE MASK YOU WOULD BE DRUNK AT
HOME JUST FROM THE FUMES.
SO THAT'S THE MOOD WE'RE IN.
BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALSO A SOMBER DAY.
WHAT A SHAME TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO 2020.
(LAUGHTER) I WILL SAY IN THE SPIRIT OF 2020
WE'VE DECIDED THAT TONIGHT'S SHOW IS GOING TO BE [BLEEP].
>> YEAH!
BUT THIS IS IT.
WE'RE OFF ON A BREAK FOR A FEW DAYS, ANY PLANS, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO.
>> Reggie: I'M GOING TO GO TO MONTANA.
>> James: MONTANA.
>> Reggie: YEAH, I WILL VISIT MY MOM.
>> James: BEAUTIFUL, LOVELY UP THERE.
>> Reggie: YEAH, IT WILL BE GREAT, HOPEFULLY SNOW.
I LOVE ALL THAT STUFF, DRIVING IN, IT, I LIKE BLACK ICE.
>> James: DO YOU.
>> ACTUALLY WEIRDLY I LOVE DRIVING IN DISASTROUS
CONDITIONS.
>> James: JUST TO LIVE A DAY IN THAT SORT OF HEAD SPACE.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, IAN, WHAT IS THE PLAN?
>> I GOT THE NEW XBOX.
OH YEAH.
>> James: IT ARRIVED.
>> IT ARRIVED YESTERDAY.
>> James: OKAY.
>> GOT THAT HOOKED UP.
NBA SEASON IS COMING BACK AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO REPAIR MY
RELATIONSHIP WITH WEED.
>> YES!
>> AND TIME TIME STOPPED WORKING ON ME MADE ME PARANOID, I'M
GOING TO GIVE TAY COLLEGE TRY AGAIN.
>> James: IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, WAIT, WHO, WHAT'S
GOING ON, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
ANYONE KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN THE NEWS?
(LAUGHTER) DOES ANYONE KNOW?
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?
NO?
ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE NEWS?
>> I THINK BIDEN WON, I THINK.
>> Reggie: YEAH.
>> James: WHAT?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE).
>> Reggie: YEAH, SURPRISING,-- IT'S BIDEN, YEAH.
>> James: IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE NEWS I
CAN FILL YOU IN RIGHT NOW.
I GOT LOADS.
I HAVE LOADS.
>> Reggie: GO FOR IT.
>> James: A TON OF NEWS BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT IT, IF NOT,
HAPPY TO IGNORE IT.
>> Reggie: I'M INTERESTED.
>> Reggie: WHY NOT.
>> James: THEN ARE YOU IN LUCK BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU THAT VICE
PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE IS ABOUT TO FIND HIMSELF ON QUITE AN
UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION.
ON JANUARY 6th HE HAS TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF CONGRESS TO
CONFIRM JOE BIDEN'S VICTORY OVERDONE ALD TRUMP.
WELL, WORD HAS JUST COME OUT THAT PENCE WILL THEN IMMEDIATELY
TRAVEL TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO AVOID THE WRATH OF TRUMP AND HIS
SUPPORTERS.
(LAUGHTER).
>> James: YOU KNOW THINGS ARE TURBULENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE
WHEN YOU GO TO THE MIDDLE EAST FOR A BIT OF PEACE AND QUIET.
HE IS STOPPING IN BAHRAIN AND ISRAEL.
HE'S THEN HEADED OFF TO POLAND OS AR MIKE PENCE CALLS THAT, A
REAL TROPICAL GETAWAY.
NOW POLAND USUALLY HAS QUITE A BIT OF SNOW THIS TIME OF YEAR SO
CHANCES ARE THIS IS WHAT MIKE PENCE WILL LOOK LIKE IN ALL OF
HIS PHOTOS.
PEEK SPEAKS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT, PENCE SAID HE WILL BE
RECEIVING THE COVID-19 VACCINE INFECTION-- INJECTION TOMORROW
LIVE ON TELEVISION.
YEAH, I KNOW.
THIS IS THE ONE TIME HE WILL ALLOW PENETRATION OUTSIDE OF
MARRIAGE.
(LAUGHTER) NOW AS YOU KNOW THE VACCINE HAS
TO BE KEPT AT SUPER COLD TEMPERATURES SO I'M SURE IT IS
GOING TO DO JUST FINE INSIDE MIKE PENCE.
HERE IS MY THINKING ON THIS.
IF HE DIDN'T GET THE VIRUS AFTER TEN MONTHS INSIDE THE WHITE
HOUSE, I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE GETTING IT, I THINK HE WILL
BE FINE.
WE SHOULD BE INJECTING MIKE PENCE INTO EVERYBODY ELSE.
BUT PENCE WILL PUBLICLY RECEIVE THE VACCINE TO PROMOTE ITS
SAFETY AND BUILD CONFIDENCE AMONG THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AND NOTHING PROMOTES CONFIDENCE QUITE LIKE GETTING THE VACCINE
AND THEN IMMEDIATELY FLEEING THE COUNTRY.
MEANWHILE THE COVID VACCINE CONTINUES TO ROLL OUT THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED KINGDOM.
TODAY IT WAS FOR IAN McKELLEN'S TURN, HERE HE IS
GETTING HIS FIRST DOSE.
THIS IS E SLENLT NEWS.
EXCELLENT NEWSES.
SIR IAN McKELLEN IS THE MOST SEJ NONESSENTIAL WORKER.
ST BEAUTIFUL THAT HE GOT THE VACCINE BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY,
CUZ I KNOW HE'S WATCHING, LATCH (LAUGHTER)
>> NEVER MISSES AN EPISODE, DID YOU KNOW THAT, I GET A TEXT AT
THE END OF EVERY SHOW FROM SIR IAN McKELLEN WHO SAYS BEST ONE
YET.
I DO WANT TO SAY SIR IAN, YOU ARE 81 YEARS OLD T IS THE MIDDLE
OF DECEMBER, THAT SCARF WITH A T-SHIRT IS NOT GOING TO CUT IT,
IAN, SIR IAN McKELLAN ENHAD A VACCINE WHERE ARE YOU ON THE
LIST OF IANS TO GET A VACCINE.
WHICH IAN IS IN FRONT OF YOU.
>> I GO AFTER McSHANE SO IAN McSHANE AND THEN ME, AND THEN
THAT KID FROM YOUNG SHELDON.
SZ.
>> James: CAN I BE HONEST, I THINK THE NETWORK WOULD DISAGREE
WITH THAT.
SOME GOOD NEWS HERE ON THE VACCINE FRONT HERE IN AMERICA.
YOU KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT A SHORTAGE.
WELL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS JUST DISCOVERED THAT PFIZER'S VACCINE
VIELS CONTAIN ONE OR TWO MORE DOSES THAN THEY PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT.
LOOK AT THAT.
ON THE LAST NIGHT OF HANUKKAH.
THEY HAD THE VIEL TRK LASTED LONGER, IT SAY HANUKKAH MIRACLE.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO RECEIVE A BRAND NEW
LIFESAVING VACCINE THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR
BEING LIKE, HANG ON A MINUTE.
IT SAYS SIX, WE CAN DO SEVEN, I THINK THAT SHOULD DO IT.
>> AND WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS.
A FAMILY IN SCOTLAND HAD A SURPRISING CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE
THE OTHER DAY AFTER LEAVING THEIR DOOR OPEN, A HAWK FLEW
INTO THEIR HOME AND PERCHED IN THEIR TREE.
HERE IT IS HERE.
NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING, NOT EVEN A MOUSE.
CUZ THERE'S A HAWK IN THE TREE.
A HAWK LANDED IN THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE, THOUGH THE KIDS IN THE
HOUSE WERE PRETTY UNGRATEFUL.
THEY WERE LIKE WELL I ASKED FOR A FALCON.
NOW I JUST CAN'T STOP MANCHING THAT HAWK TALKING WITH A
SCOTTISH ACCENT.
STOP Y ER WE WALLOWING.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING CAN I SAY IN SCOTTISH BECAUSE I USED TO
HAVE-- WHEN I WORKED AT THE SUPERMARKET MY BOSS THERE WAS
SCOTTISH AND I WOULD WORK ON SATURDAY AND HE WOULD SAY KIDS
CAN YOU WATCH-- AND I WOULD SAY YEAH, YEAH, I CAN, OH, I CAN'T,
I'VE GOT TO PRACTICE FOR A SHOW.
AND HE [BLEEP] DO THAT, PLEASE.
DON'T [BLEEP] DO THAT, GET ME YOU-- YOU KNOW, WHAT ELSE HE DID
TO ME, ONE OF MAY JOBS WAS I HAD TO CLEAN THE FREEZER WITH THIS
WIRE BRUSH ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON, I WOULD JUST HAVE TO
CLEAN.
AND THERE WOULD BE LIKE HALF AND LAMB AND LIKE, JUST MEAT,
DISGUSTING.
AND THE DOOR IF YOU SHUT THE DOOR IT HAD A GLOW IN THE DARK
HANDLE THAT YOU WOULD PUSH TO OPEN AND SET, THIS FREEZER WAS
SO OLD, IT HAD ALL WARN AWAY, SO I WOULD GO IN AND PROBABLY TWICE
A SHIFT THEY WOULD SHUT THE DOOR AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE ME
WAY OUT AND I WOULD JUST BE WALKING INTO CARCASSES OF
ANIMALS.
AND I WOULD COME OUT AND THEY WOULD JUST THINK IT WAS
HILARIOUS.
HA HA HA, GET BACK IN THERE YOU FAT.
>> BUT I WILL SAY THE JOKE IS ON THEM BECAUSE ON MY LAST DAY I
ACTUALLY STOLE QUITE A LOT OF PRODUCT.
I WALKED OUT OF THERE WITH A BACKPACK SO FULL OF BOOZE, SOLD
IT ALL AT SCHOOL.
AND FINALLY WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS.
TWO POLICE OFFICERS IN PERU RECENTLY WERE SUR VAILING A
SUSPECTED DRUG DEALER WHILE UNDER SCOFER.
AND THEY ENDED UP MAKING THE ARREST DRESSED IN FULL COSTUME
AS SANTA CLAUS AND AN ELF.
DO YOU THINK THEY FOUGHT OVER WHO WOULD BE THE SANTA AND WHO
WOULD BE THE ELF?
YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO SMALL PARTS BUT ONE IS SANTA AND ONE
IS AN ELF.
AFTER THE ARREST THE SUSPECT WAS IMMEDIATELY LIKE FOR CHRISTMAS I
WOULD LIKE TO BE RELEASED EARLY FROM CUSTODY AND SANTA WAS LIKE
DAMMIT, RULES ARE RULES, LET HIM GO.
AND THIS WAS NICE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY ALREADY MAKING A SHOW
INSPIRED BY THE INCIDENT CLAUSEE & ORDER.
OKAY.
HERE WE GO.
NOW 2020 IS ALMOST OVER.
AND I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY NOW, 2020 IS ALMOST OVER AND I
THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY IT'S BEEN A VERY, VERY, VERY LONG YEAR.
THE LONGEST YEAR.
SO LONG, IN FACT, THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LOST TRACK OF
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS.
SO IN CASE YOU NEED A QUICK REFRESHER ON 2020, LET ME BREAK
IT DOWN FOR YOU REAL QUICK.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, THERE'S REASON TO HOPE-- FIVE MORE
STATES ALL LEGALIZED DOPE.
THE COVID VACCINE IS NOW WITHIN REACH-- A MUCH BETTER OPTION
THAN INJECTING WITH BLEACH.
2020 DESTROYED ALL OF OUR PLANS, BUT WE CAN GET THROUGH IT BY
WASHING OUR HANDS.
LENDING NEIGHBORS ASSISTANCE AND KEEPING SOCIAL DISTANCE,
TO FLATTEN THE CURVE AND GET BACK TO THE TASK.
NEXT YEAR WILL BE BETTER-- JUST PUT ON A MASK.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR.
HERE'S HOPING WE'LL BE TOGETHER IN PERSON NEXT YEAR!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH GAL GADOT!
>> James: WELCOME BACK, LET'S MEET OUR FIRST GETION TONIGHT.
SHE IS THE INCREDIBLE STAR OF ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED
MOVIES OF THE YEAR WONDER WOMAN 1984.
WE LOVE HER SO MUCH ON THIS SHOW, PLEASE WELCOME THE ALWAYS
ENCHANTING GAL GADOT IS HERE TONIGHT.
GAL.
>> SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> James: IT'S ALWAYS A THRILL, ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE
YOU.
NOW TONIGHT IS THE 8th NIGHT OF HANUKKAH.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THIS HOLIDAY?
HOW DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CELEBRATE HANUKKAH?
>> FIRST-OF-ALL THE FAVORITE PART IS THE FOOD.
EVERYTHING IS-- DONUTS AND LAT COMMITTEES AND EVERYTHING THAT
HAS MANY, MANY CALORIES.
ST ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
AND THEN I CRY WHEN I GO TO THE GYM.
AND WE, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE MOVED HERE TO L.A., SO MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT FOR US TO REALLY MAKE SURE WE DON'T MISS A NIGHT OF
LIGHTING THE CANDLES AND PLAYING WITH DREIDLES AND EVERYTHING.
BECAUSE IN ISRAEL IT IS LIKE IF YOU MISS ONE NIGHT HERE OR
THERE, IT'S FINEMENT BUT NOW WHEN WE'RE HERE, WE'RE LIKE
SUPER MAKING SURE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT.
>> James: THAT'S GREAT.
NOW I'VE ACTUALLY, DO YOU KNOW THIS, ME AND GAL HAVE ACTUALLY
WORKED OUT NEXT TO EACH OTHER IN THE GYM.
>> IT'S TRUE,.
>> James: I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT IS SO FURCHEE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT GETS A LAUGH.
>> I WAS LIKE WHERE-- I ASKED MY FRIEND, I GOT TO WORK OUT WHERE
JAMES CORDEN IS WORKING OUT.
>> James: IT'S TRUE, IT'S TRUE.
>> HE IS MY INSPIRATION.
AND I WANT TO BE YOU.
>> James: SHE KEPT SAY WAG SORT OF STUFF DO YOU DO.
AND YOU KNOW, I WAS LIKE WELL TODAY IS LEG DAY AND WE DID A
LOT OF THAT SORT OF STUFF.
GENUINELY TRUE.
I HAVE ACTUALLY NEVER BEEN MORE EMBARRASSED.
BECAUSE AT ONE POINT SHE WAS STRETCHING ME, YOU KNOW WHEN
THEY STRETCH YOUR LEG LIKE THAT, AND GAL WAS GETTING SOME WATER
AND I WAS GOING AAAHHH.
AND I SWEAR TO GOD MY LEG WAS LIKE THERE.
ASTOUNDED THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT MY HEEL WAS BEHIND MY
HEAD.
NOW GAL YOU POSTED THIS, A REALLY WONDERFUL NAS TAL GIK
PHOTO.
THIS IS A PHOTO FROM YOUR FIRST TRIP TO LOS ANGELES IN
209-- 2009.
SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR LIFE SINCE THEN.
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT IN TIME AND THIS VISIT TO LOS
ANGELES?
>> YOU KNOW WE ARE WERE JUST BABIES, YVONNE AND I CAME TO
L.A. FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I BOOKED THE JOB.
SO WE WERE THERE FOR FAST AND FURIOUS.
AND WE JUST DID LIKE THE TOUR SITES THAT ONE WOULD GO WHEN
THEY COME TO LA.
WE WASN'T TO THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN, ROD WHY DRIVER AND THE
OBSERVATORY TRK THE PLANETARIUM, I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME.
AND THAT'S IT AND I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT L.A. TO
THIS DAY.
>> James: I MEAN HOW SOON AFTER THIS MOMENT DID YOU FEEL
LIKE YOUR CAREER WAS REALLY STARTING TO TAKE OFF?
>> I THINK FOUR OR FIVE YEARS LATER.
YEAH, PROBABLY FIVE YEARS LATER.
>> James: WAS THERE EVER A MOMENT DOORING THAT TIME.
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT PEOPLE EVER QUITE REALLY UNDERSTAND
QUITE WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE ACHIEVEMENT IT IS THAT YOU HAVE
MADE IT.
THAT YOU ARE COMING IN AND BREAKING AMERICA, BUT I KNOW IT
IS NEVER AN OVERNIGHT AS IT SEEMS.
WAS THERE EVER A MOMENT WHERE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT NOT PURSUING
ACTING ANY MORE.
>> OH YEAH, FUNNY ENOUGH, SO YVONNE AND I, WE USED TO COME
FROM ISRAEL TO L.A., WE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH LOS ANGELES FOR LIKE
TEN YEARS, RIGHT.
WE WOULD COME FOR TWO, THREE MONTHS, AND GO BACK, AND COME
BACK FOR A JOB, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
AND AT THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE LIKE WASN'T THE LAST TIME
BUT BEFORE I LANDED THE ROLE OF WONDER WOMAN, I WAS LIKE, I WAS
TELLING YVONNE, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD EVER COME BACK.
BECAUSE AMMA WAS ALREADY BORN AND I FELT LIKE I WAS DRAGGING
HIM FROM HIS CAREER AND ALMA FROM HER, IT WAS TOO MUCH AND
TOO MUCH OF, YOU KNOW, TOO MANY ALMOSTS AND TOO MUCH NOS, SO
MANIES NO.
AND THEN I DID THE AUDITION OF WONDER WOMAN AND IT CHANGED MY
LIFE.
BUT IT'S FUNNY, THE TIMING.
WHEN ARE YOU JUST ABOUT TO HIT THE WALL AND SAY ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH.
THE UNIVERSITY STEPS IN AND LIKE YOU KNOW, CHANGES EVERYTHING.
>> James: BUT IT REALLY DID STEP IN.
WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON WONDER WOMAN 1984.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T QUITE KNOW.
TELL US, I THEY THERE IS STUFF YOU CAN'T TELL US AM WHAT IS
GOING ON IN THIS MOVIE?
>> I CAN'T SHARE MUCH.
I CAN TELL THAT YOU THIS IS BY FAR THE HARDEST MOVIE I'VE EVER
GOT TO WORK ON.
WE WERE SO GRATEFUL AND HONORED BY THE WAY THE FIRST MOVIE WAS,
YOU KNOW, WAS DONE, SO IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO BRING
SOMETHING TO SET THE BAR SUPER HIGH, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING
SOMETHING FRESHER AND BIGGER AND MORE SPECTACULAR AND MORE BLAH
BLAH BLAH.
SO IT WAS, IT IS A BIG ONE.
IT IS A BIG BIG MOVIE.
THE SCOPE IS HUGE, THE STORY LINES ARE SUPER, YOU KNOW, WE
HAVE THREE DIFFERENT STORY LINES, SHOT IN SIX DIFFERENT
LOCATIONS.
IT WAS HUGE.
>> I MEAN IT IS SO BRILLIANT.
THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE OBVIOUSLY IN 1984.
WHICH IT WAS INCREDIBLY FUN TIMES.
BUT MUSIC AND FASHION, WERE YOU INTO THE 80S, WAS THERE ANY '80S
MUSIC THAT YOU WERE INTO AT ALL.
>> I THINK THE 80S, IT IS THE BEST MUSIC.
>> I LOVE, SO MANY.
BUT GROWING UP I JUST, I WAS OBSESSING OVER MADONNA.
>> REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT KIND OF MADONNA.
WHAT SORT OF.
>> LET'S JUST SAY WHEN I GRADUATED MIDDLE SCHOOL AND YOU
DO THE SHOW, WE DID LIKE A MADONNA DANCE AND I GOT THE SOLO
PART TO DO THE MADONNA PART.
AND I WAS, AND WE MADE CONE.
>> James: OH, THE CONE BRA.
>> AND EVERYTHING.
AND TEACHERS WERE LIKE OH MY GOD, THE PLUNGE, YOU KNOW AND
THEY WERE GOING LIKE WE'RE GOING TO INSPECT THAT, THAT IS HOW
MUCH I LOVE MADONNA.
>> James: HOW IS GAL GADOT'S VOGUE, HOW IS IT.
>> ST HARD WITH THE JACKET.
>> James: IT IS DIFFICULT.
>> STARTING WITH THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, EXCUSES BUT NEXT TIME I'M
COMING WE'RE GOING TO VOGUE TOGETHER.
>> James: CAN'T WAIT.
GAL, THE FILM IS SO BRILLIANT.
YOU ARE AS EVER ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATING IN THIS ROLE.
THIS ROLE YOU WERE BORN TO PLAY.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM WONDER WOMAN 1984 WHICH OPEN
NSES SELECT THEATERS, IMAX AND ON HBO MAX CHRISTMAS DAY.
>> WELL AREN'T YOU RESOURCEFUL.
>> COME WITH ME.
>> NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
>> REMOVE THIS WOMAN PLEASE.
>> PERMANENTLY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
>> I AM NOW.
>> >> James: STICK AROUND, MORE
WITH GAL GADOT WHEN WE COME BACK.
>> James: WELCOME BACK, GAL GADOT IS HERE WITH US NOW, IN
YOUR NEW MOVIE YOU PLAY A SUPERHERO WHOSE POWER IS OFF THE
CHART.
SO IT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE IN A WAY THAT TODAY WE WOULD TEST
YOUR POWER OF DISCERTAIN AM WITH A LITTLE GAME WE LIKE TO CALL
"REAL OR CAKE."
>> Reggie: REAL OR CAKE.
>> James: OKAY, NOW I'M NOT SURE IF YOU SAW THIS BUT EARLIER
THIS YEAR THE INTERNET WENT WILD OVER INCREDIBLE CAKES THAT LOOK
EXACTLY LIKE INANIMATE OBJECT.
THEY ARE REALLY QUITE AMAZING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE SORT OF THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> James: WHAT!
WHAT!
>> OKAY.
>> James: OKAY CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS, REG.
>> Reggie: NO.
>> James: NO OTHER LATE NIGHT SHOW HAS THE BALLS TO TAKE ON
THIS SORT OF THING.
NOW ON THIS SCREEN WE HAVE SIX "LATE, LATE SHOW" STAFFERS,
OKAY.
SOME OF THEM HAVE CAKES THAT LOOK LIKE EVERY DAY OBJECTS.
OTHERS HAVE REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS EVERY DAY OBJECTS.
TOGETHER YOU AND I WILL ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY WHICH ARE REAL AND
WHICH ARE CAKES, OKAY.
I'M SURE YOU ARE SICK TO DEATH BY NOW OF PLAYING THIS GAME ON
EVERY OTHER SHOW.
>> NO, I LIKE STUPID GAMES.
>> James: ALL RIGHT, LET'S DIG IN.
HERE WE GO, WE'VE GOT DINAH.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT RIGHT THERE?
>> I HAVE A LITTLE PINK CHRISTMAS TREE.
>> CAN YOU TOUCH IT.
>> CAN I TOUCH IT A LITTLE BIT.
>> James: CAN YOU TOUCH THE CAKE.
>> GO TO THE PINK PART OF IT.
>> James: OH GAL.
>> SHE'S BEING VERY CAREFUL, THAT IS WHY I SUSPECT IT IS THE
CAKE.
>> James: YOU ARE THINKING IT IS CAKE.
>> I WONDER IF IT IS A CAKE OR A CANDLE.
>> James: IT COULD BE A CANDLE.
>> I THINK IT IS REAL, IT'S NOT A CAKE.
>> James: GAL IS SAYING REAL, I THINK IT'S A CAKE, LET'S FIND
OUT.
DIANA, SLICE INTO IT.
>> IT'S REAL, IT'S NOT A CAKE.
>> YAYY.
>> James: IT WAS REAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIE ANA.
LET'S NOW GO TO WINNIE, WINNIE WHAT IS YOUR ITEM THERE AND HAVE
YOU FOUND THE MOST DE PRESESSING CORNER OF THE LATE LATE-- DE
PRESSING CORNER OF THE "LATE, LATE SHOW," WINNIE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S IN WITNESS PROTECTION OR SOMETHING.
OKAY.
WINNIE, HAS A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER.
GAL, WHAT IS YOUR FIRST THOUGHT.
>> I THINK IT'S A CAKE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT HAS THE
TEXTURE OF A PROPER TOILET PAPER.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AGREE.
I THINK THIS IS 100% A CAKE.
>> WE THINK IT'S A CAKE, LET'S FIND OUT.
WINNIE, IS IT CAKE OR REAL?
>> YES, IT'S A CAKE.
>> James: IT'S A CAKE.
THERE IT IS.
>> WOW.
>> James: OKAY.

LIFE, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE GOT A CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT ON A PLATE IN
FRONT OF ME.
AND FEELING OKAY.
>> Reggie: POOR NATE.
>> James: GAL, WHAT DO YOU THINK, DO YOU THINK THIS IS REAL
OR A CAKE.
>> NO, I THINK IT'S AN ORNAMENT, I THINK IT'S REAL.
>> James: THAT WOULD BE QUITE AN EASY THING TO MAKE INTO A
CAKE THOUGH.
>> CAN YOU TOUCH IT AND GIVE IT A-- .
>> NO, NO, YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT.
I WANT TO SEE HOW IT MOVES.
>> James: DID YOU EVER IMAGINE IN YOUR LIFE THAT WONDER WOMAN
WOULD BE TELLING YOU THAT JUST TOUCH IT AND MOVE IT.
>> GIVE IT A PUSH.
>> James: GIVE IT A PUSH.
>> IMAGINED, YES.
EXPECTED, NO.
>> James: ALL RIGHT, SO GAL, GAL WHAT DO YOU THINK.
IS IT REAL OR IS IT-- IS IT REAL OR CAKE.
>> IT'S REAL.
>> James: GAL IS GOING REAL, I'M GOING REAL.
>> HE WOULD NEVER LIE TO ME.
>> James: NATE, LET'S FIND OUT.
>> I'M SO SORRY.
>> YOU LIED TO ME.
>> James: IT'S A CAKE.
LOOK AT THAT.
OKAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THEY MADE ME DO IT.

TURTLE.
>> THAT IS A REAL TURTLE, HE IS 110 YEARS OLD, TOTALLY REAL.
WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS.
>> James: I REAL OR.
>> I THINK IT'S REAL.
NOW I'M LOSING MY CONFIDENCE BUT I THINK THIS IS IS REAL.
>> James: HANG ON, YOU THINK IT IS A REALTOR TOYS?
>> NO, NOT A REALTOR TOYS BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, A
SMALL STATUTE PEOPLE PUT IN THEIR GARDEN.
>> James: YES, I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
I THINK IT IS A STATUE.
I DON'T THINK THAT IS A CAKE.
MELVIN, LET'S FIND OUT.
IS IT REAL OR IS IT A CAKE?
>> LET'S FIND OUT.

THANK YOU MELVIN.

WE GOT HERE.
>> IT'S A SLICE OF BRIE CHEESE.
SO KIND OF THE SAISM SHAPE AS CAKE BUT CHEESE.
>> WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO DO THAT.
I JUST THINK-- I JUST THINK-- IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A REAL BRIE
CHEESE EITHER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A SQUISHY, YOU KNOW THE SQUISHY.
>> James: I KNOW THE SQUISHIES.
>> THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT.
>> James: I DO, I HAVE.
>> I ACTUAL.
>> James: I THINK THIS IS A DOUBLE BLUFF AND I THINK IT'S
CHEESE.
>> SO I'M GOING TO FOLLOW YOUR LEAD.
>> James: WE THINK IT'S REAL.
GREG, IS IT REAL OR IS IT CAKE.
>> NO, IT'S A CAKE, IT'S A CAKE T DOESN'T LOOK LUKE A BRIE.
>> James: SHE CHANGE TO CAKE.
>> IT IS REAL.
>> OH [BLEEP] >> James: LOOK AT THAT.
I KNEW IT, I FELT IT I FELT IT.
I WILL MESS AROUND WITH A LOT OF THINGS.
I WON'T MESS AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO CHEESE OR CAKE.
LET'S MOVE FINALLY TO ROSIE.
ALL RIGHT, NOW WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE, ROSIE, WHAT IS THIS?
>> STO I HAVE A HEAD OF GARLIC HERE, MANY, MANY GLOVES.
>> I THINK IT'S TOO BIG FOR GARLIC, I THINK IT'S A CAKE.
>> I THINK IT A HUNDRED PERCENT A CAKE.
I BELIEVE THAT TO BE A CAKE, AND I AM I'M WRONG I WILL DEAL WITH
IT ROSIE, WE BELIEVE THIS IS A CAKE, LET'S FIND OUT.
>> IT IS A CAKE.
>> James: IT'S A CAKE.
AND THAT WAS REAL OR CAKE.

>> James: OKAY.
>> Reggie: WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG DID YOU EVER IMAGINE OR TRY TO
IMAGINE YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE AND ST YOU DID-- IF YOU DID,
WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE?
>> THAT'S A LOVELY QUESTION.
I HAD, I WANTED TO BE MANY THINGS FOR A VERY, FOR THE
LONGEST TIME AS A KID, I WANTED TO BE A CHOREOGRAPHER BECAUSE I
WAS A DANCER FOR MANY MANY YEARS.
AND THEN I WANTED TO BE A CHEMIST.
AND THEN I WAS NOT GOOD IN THAT.
AND THEN I WANTED TO BE A LAWYER.
IS I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT ACTING, PURSUING ACTING.
IT JUST HAPPENED.
>> Reggie: ACTUALLY, THAT IS CORRECT.
>> James: IT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE THANK THE INCREDIBLE GAL GADOT,

AND I AM BEYOND HONORED THAT THEY ARE HERE MAKING THEIR
LATE-NIGHT TELEVISION DEBUT RIGHT HERE, ALL THE WAY FROM THE
UNITED KINGDOM.
THE INCREDIBLE SMITH & BURROWS ARE HERE ON THE SHOW.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU, ANDY AND TOM.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, HOW ARE YOU BOTH.
HOW IS LIFE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM?
WITHIN WE'RE BOTH VERY GOOD, THANK YOU, AND IT IS LOVELY HERE
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
BUT WE WHAT A GOOD YEAR, SO WE'RE REALLY GOOD.
>> James: I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING HERE.
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR PERFORMING A SONG.
THE SONG YOU ARE GOING TO PERFORM IS AS YOU KNOW ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS SONG WHEN THE
THAIMS-- THAMES FROZE IS MORE PERFECT FOR NOW THAN EVER, IT IS
THE PERFECT SONG FOR CHRISTMAS 2020 BECAUSE I THINK IT
ENCAPSULATES EVERYTHING WE'VE GONE THROUGH BUT LEAVES US WITH
THIS TREMENDOUS MESSAGE OF HOPE.
AND I URGE EVERYBODY TO SEEK THIS SONG OUT OVER THE FESTIVE
PERIOD.
WHAT WAS IT THAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THIS SONG?
>> WHEN I WROTE THE LYRICS TO THIS, THAT YEAR, THINGS LIKE,
PEOPLE WERE PROTESTING ABOUT THE CUTS THE GOVERNMENT HAD MADE,
ALL THE COUNTRIES I WANTED A CHRISTMAS SONGS THAT
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT AND FELT CONNECTED TO THE TIMES WE WERE
IN BUT LIKE YOU SAY IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BE HOPEFUL AT THE
END.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL ABOUT CHRISTMAS, ISN'T
IT.
IT GIVES YOU THE CHANCE TO, WELL YOU KNOW, MAYBE NECK YEAR WILL
BE BETTER THAN THE ONE WE JUST HAD.
SO I THINK GIVEN THE YEAR WE HAVE JUST HAD, DNS.
>> James: I HOPE THAT YOU END THE SONG WITH THE YEARS GO BY SO
FAST, LET'S HOPE THE NEXT BEATS THE LAST.
I'VE GOT TO SAY, IF IT DOESN'T.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BLEEP WHREEP DO, I REALLY DON'T.
>> I REMEMBER JUST AFTER WE FINISHED I REMEMBER YOU DRIVING
UP THE HILL, SHOUTED OUT TO ME, ANDY, I LOVE THAT TUNE.
SO I FEEL LINE-- .
>> James: I DO.
I DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT TO BE ONLY A CHRISTMAS RECORD AM I'M
GOING TO SAY, I THINK I LISTENED TO THIS SONG EASILY ONCE A WEEK,
GENUINELY.
AND I'M SO BEYOND PROUD THAT YOU ARE HERE PERFORMING IT ON THE
SHOW.
