On the March 6, 2019 episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, viewers are treated to a star-studded lineup with guests Allison Janney, Samuel L. Jackson, and the Jonas Brothers.

After the opening monologue, James welcomes Allison Janney to the show. The actress is best known for her role as Bonnie Plunkett on the popular sitcom Mom, for which she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series twice. Allison chats with James about the upcoming season of Mom and her experience working on the film I, Tonya, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The two also play a quick game of "Flinch," where James challenges Allison not to flinch when fruit is shot out of a cannon at her, leading to plenty of laughs and a surprising outcome.
Next up, Samuel L. Jackson joins James on the couch. Known for his roles in blockbuster films like Pulp Fiction, The Avengers, and the Star Wars prequels, Samuel is a Hollywood icon. The two talk about Samuel's latest projects, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and James asks for Samuel's opinion on his upcoming film roles, which leads to a hilarious skit where James auditions for a role using lines from Samuel's movies. The audience can't get enough of the duo's banter and humor.
Finally, the Jonas Brothers take the stage for an exciting musical performance. The Jonas Brothers are a pop-rock band consisting of brothers Kevin, Joe, and Nick, and they rose to fame in the late 2000s with hit songs like "S.O.S." and "Burnin' Up". After taking a hiatus, they reunited in 2019 with a new album and a fresh sound. The band performs one of their new songs, "Sucker," to the delight of the crowd, who sing and dance along.
Throughout the episode, James also shares clips from some of his popular segments, including "Crosswalk the Musical" and "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts," which involves celebrities answering difficult questions or eating gross food. This episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden is a must-watch for fans of entertainment, music, and comedy.
