The Late Late Show’s Funniest Moments of 2015

james-corden-david-letterman-late-night-late-late-showThe Late Late Show was originally created by David Letterman to compete with NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien. He was also the creator of the Late Night show on NBC and was set to be the successor to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show but was passed up for Jay Leno. As a result, he left NBC and went to CBS where he began the battle for late night.

james-corden-tom-hanks-late-late-showThe Late Late Show has been hosted by four men and a few guest hosts since it began in 1995. Tom Snyder was the first host followed by Craig Kilborn, Craig Ferguson, and now, James Corden. Corden is a do-it-all British comedian. He is a writer, actor, producer, singer, and now, one of the funniest men on late night TV. He began hosting The Late Late Show on March 23 of this past year and in less than a year has created some of the greatest comedy sketches of the year and these are the best of the best from the past 10 months. Enjoy.

Episode: 109

Aired: November 18th

Episode: 113

Aired: December 3rd

Details: One Direction gives the fans something else to like about them when they appeared on James Corden to play Tattoo Roulette.
