What We Think

The Late Late Show with James Corden isn't the wokest thing on late-night, but it runs largely on progressive auto-pilot and rarely veers into non-woke territory. It’s friendly to the prevailing Hollywood worldview, even if it wraps it up in karaoke and sketches.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

As a late-night variety show, narrative integrity isn't its focus. While the show often spotlights identity-based guests and segments, it isn’t hampered by heavy-handed ideological plotlines since traditional narrative arcs aren't central. There are moments of forced representation, but these are typical of the genre rather than overwhelming.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Some recurring jokes and monologues poke fun at traditional values, masculinity, and family, though usually in a light-hearted way. Occasionally, the show promotes progressive perspectives while treating more traditional stances as outdated, which gives it a moderately woke flavor compared to older late-night formats.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show generally promotes modern social views common in Hollywood, with minimal sympathetic representation of dissenting or non-woke viewpoints. Dissent is often treated as a punchline, and guests almost uniformly echo the show's progressive moral assumptions.
