‘The Late Late Show’  

James Corden’s guests acted out four of the ‘Rocky’ films, ‘Field of Dreams,’ ‘The Karate Kid’ and more for CBS’ post-Super Bowl show.

Corden followed Stephen Colbert as CBS’ two post-game episodes for the night. The Late Late Show’s post-Super Bowl episode was a star-studded affair, also including a “Sports Movies in 8 Minutes” sketch with Zac Efron, Anna Kendrick and Adam DeVine.

The four of them, all outfitted in relevant sports gear, acted out four of the Rocky films, Field of Dreams, The Sandlot, Bring It On, The Karate Kid, Rudy, The Blind Side, Remember the Titans, Any Given Sunday, Chariots of Fire and Bend it Like Beckham, complete with a small photo in the corner of the British footballer. 

Efron even tried to reprise his role in Disney’s High School Musical (when he was supposed to act out Hoosiers), and Corden tried out his whipped cream bikini from Varsity Blues, which he called “a treat for the ladies.” 

The three actors were on the show promoting the upcoming film Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, which is set to premiere this summer. Corden has done similar videos acting out an actor’s filmography with Tom Hanks, Matt Damon and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He was the latest to take part in the ‘Late Late Show’ sketch, following Chris Martin, Adele and Justin Bieber.

Adele broke records with hers, One Direction all pilled in and Justin Bieber tried it out twice. Chris Martin used his video to promote his Super Bowl halftime show.

Now Elton John is in the passenger seat, joining the ranks of artists joining The Late Late Show’s James Corden for “Carpool Karaoke.” The two met up in John’s garage and drove through the rain in Los Angeles while singing “Your Song,” “I’m Still Standing,” “Crocodile Rock,” “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” and more of his hits. 

John told Corden that he was told he was a terrible dancer, which is why the singer went “so flamboyant” with his outfits. “I had fun with my outfits and I just went for it,” he told Corden, as they changed into feather boas and oversized sunglasses. 

He also revealed that he doesn’t have a phone, which is part of the reason why he buys four copies of every album he likes, adding that there is usually a security guard around him whose phone he can use, before calling Corden his “future husband” and helping the late-night host get to work. 

Corden followed Stephen Colbert’s Late Show post-game spot Sunday night with a star-studded episode, also welcoming Anna Kendrick, Zac Efron and Adam DeVine.

Ellen Page in ‘Gaycation’  Screen grab

Page’s new docuseries premieres March 2 on Vice’s cable network.

Ellen Page is going on a mission for Vice’s new cable channel. 

In Gaycation, her new Viceland docuseries, Page travels the world to learn more about the LGBTQ experience. She and her friend, Ian Daniel, visit Brazil, Japan and Jamaica – they even confront presidential candidate Ted Cruz at the Iowa State Fair. 

“I’m on a journey to explore what it means to be lesbian, gay, bi or trans all around the world,” Page says in the show’s first trailer.  

The docuseries will air on Shane Smith and Spike Jonze’s Viceland, which officially debuts as a 24-hour cable channel on Feb. 29.

“We want to join the celebrations, document the struggles, feel the love and the hate, and bring home every human story we encounter along the way,” Page says. 

Gaycation premieres March 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Viceland. 

Check out the trailer below.
