James Corden welcomes studio audience back to The Late Late Show

Last night's show opened with a panoramic look at the audience as The Late Late Show became one of the last late-night shows to welcome back its audience since the pandemic began. “We’re very happy we can see all of your eyes and eyebrows,” Corden said of the masked audience, which he referred to as a “select gathering.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, the number of audience members has been reduced from 170 to 50 to allow for social distancing.
