James Corden and Carey Mulligan Talk Crystal Maze on The Late Late Show

One thing I've just never quite understood: the scheduling of late-night US talk shows. Having them nightly, I get that because there's a lot of people out there with a lot of material to promote. It's the time that these shows go out at that goes right over my head. An ideal example of this is The Late Late Show on CBS. It's listed as going out at 12:37am. Now is it just me, or does anyone else use that kind of time for sleeping. Do Americans not go to bed until nearing 2am? Also, 12:37 is more than a little specific isn't it?

 James Corden, known on this side of the Atlantic for 'Gavin and Stacey', 'Doctor Who' and that single he did with Dizzee Rascal, was chatting with Carey Mulligan on The Late Late Show last night/this morning/whenever it goes out. You may be familiar with the show from its Carpool Karaoke segment, a segment that probably broadcasts at 1am. The topic of surprise parties came up and Carey brought up surprising her husband with a trip to The Crystal Maze Live Experience with 35 of his mates and taking over the venue for a session.


Now, I get James may not have known there was a US version, and it'll have been recorded as live so they won't have been able to have someone from CBS just shuffle in and say "Hold up, our parent company also owns Nickelodeon and they have a version of this show you're on about", but does make me wonder just how few people know about it, maybe the adverts just weren't prominent enough.


Anyhow, it's nice to see the show get a mention on a pretty popular show with a huge potential audience.
