James Corden was amongst the late night US talk show hosts paying tribute to the Queen following news of her death on Thursday (September 8) aged 96. A number of presenters of late night television programmes over the pond featured segments dedicated to the monarch, including James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel and Trevor Noah.
The Late Late Show host, James Corden, described Queen Elizabeth II as a “guiding light” that was “universally adored”. He expressed how he was "thankful and grateful" to the monarch for the “incredible service and leadership that she has shown during all of our lifetimes”.
The British actor and comedian, who announced earlier this year he would be stepping down as The Late Late Show's host, started his show with a sombre three-minute monologue. “She is the only queen most of us have ever known.... We viewed her as immortal and an essential part of the fabric of our world," he said to his audience.
