James Corden reveals to Jimmy Fallon the ‘darkest moment’ he faced after leaving 'The Late Late Show'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late-night host James Corden recently opened up to Jimmy Fallon about the darkest moment he faced since leaving 'The Late Late Show.'
In a candid conversation, Corden hilariously recounted a water park experience that left him questioning his life choices. He said that without the show, he ended up in 'inconceivable' places, like a water park.
"When was the last time you went to a water park? I haven't been to a water park since I was like 12 years old," Corden shared, setting the stage for his entertaining revelation.
James Corden's water park adventure
Describing his outdated perception of water parks, Corden emphasized the stark contrast between childhood memories and the reality of the experience. "So my memory of the water park was that this is an amazing thing to do, that this is a great place full of fun," he said.
However, Corden's recent visit shattered those illusions, leading to a humorous commentary on the less-than-glamorous aspects of water park adventures. Comparing it to Disney World with a twist, he amusingly pointed out, "It's like you're at Disney World, but everyone's in their underwear."
James Corden's hilarious take on water park attire
The comedian went on to vividly depict the peculiar scene of a water park where everyone is casually chatting while continuously peeing. "You know they're peeing. Everyone's peeing," Corden remarked with a hint of disbelief.
Corden humorously addressed the wardrobe dilemma faced by heavy-weight individuals at water parks. "When you're a bigger man, you've got a real choice to make at the water park, which is, 'Do I just go trunks, and let it all hang out, right?'"
In a relatable fashion, Corden shared his personal choice of opting for a rash guard or long-sleeved shirt, commonly chosen by those conscious of sun exposure. However, the comedian's description of the garment made it clear that comfort quickly turned into discomfort.
"It's good for the first seven minutes you're at the water park, but then it just clings to your entire body where it's like you've been vacuum-packed. And you're like a sort of sausage that's been rolled into this thing," Corden vividly expressed.

James Corden's water park tale
The hilarious confession reached its peak when Corden detailed the awkwardness of navigating water slides while clad in the clingy rash guard. The comedian's vivid storytelling left Fallon and the audience in fits of laughter.
Reflecting on this unusual water park escapade, Corden humorously connected it to his time hosting 'The Late Late Show'. The surreal moment of standing in tight clothing, soaked, and fielding a fan's recognition evoked a nostalgic pang.
"If you're asking me, was there a moment where I missed the show... I was standing in this tight thing, covered in water, everyone's peeing. I'm holding a half-eaten hot dog of my daughter's, and a man walks past and goes, 'Aren't you the guy that used to sing in the car with people?' And I was like, 'Yes,'" Corden concluded, leaving Fallon and the audience in stitches.
