What if the Late Late Show Was a Soap Opera?: The Late and the Restless
When James Corden realized that The Late Late Show shared a printer with The Young and the Restless, he simply couldn’t help himself. A soap star left a scene script behind and, naturally, James recruited Patricia Arquette and Chris Pine to create the scene on the fly.
The scene opened to Phyllis in an argument with Austin, who has recently fallen in love with, and married, her daughter Summer.
Phyllis is not exactly pleased with the news.
Soon Jack, Phyllis’ husband, enters the scene and attempts to calm everyone.
Even though all three of them are fantastic actors, they couldn’t help but to break character and break everything else.
Eventually Jack calmed the room, showing Phyllis how happy Summer and Austin were together in their wedding album.
Before tearing the entire set apart, Jack delivered one serious shocker.
Talk about a dramatic cliffhanger.
Naturally the real cast of The Young and the Restless had a few things to say about the clip.
Greg Rikaart, who plays Kevin Fisher tweeted:
“@latelateshow: Sexiest episode of @YandR_CBS EVER. #Corden pic.twitter.com/UKwtSPsGZN” I think I'm having a coma. Ha!!

Melissa Claire Egan, who plays Chelsea Lawson, also sang Corden's praises by tweeting:
Wow! Watching the first @latelateshow from last night, and James Corden is awesome. And is @tomhanks not THE BEST GUEST OF ALL TIME?!?
