What you’re watching here is a filmed live performance. It’s a multi-camera shoot, and close to movie quality, but the presence of the audience, many of whom get dragged up on stage, is a crucial part of why this show is worth watching at home. (Apparently, on one memorable night, Corden pulled one Donald J. Trump out of the audience; alas, or maybe thankfully, the cameras were not there). What you see here is Corden’s affection for the public, his rare ability not only to make up patter on the spot, but his insistence on doing so in such a way as to make the poor sap on stage look good. Hytner gave him total freedom to add lines, break character, do his thing.
