James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel spill their guts on The Late Late Show
By Hector Cruz
Late-night hosts James Corden and Jimmy Kimmel face-off in a game of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts” on Late Late Show.
Jimmy Kimmel took a night off from hosting his ABC show Jimmy Kimmel Live in order to appear on The Late Late Show with James Corden, while promoting his gig hosting this Sunday’s Emmy Awards. James Corden decided to haze his late-night colleague by re-introducing a segment where each person has to either answer a tough question or consume a gross substance that was assigned by the other participant.
“You know, when I said we should go out to dinner sometime, this is not what I had in mind,” Kimmel said.
The latest edition of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,” which Corden previously played with Bad Moms stars Mila Kunis and Christina Applegate, featured such concoctions as ghost pepper hot sauce, jellyfish, chicken feet, balut, bull penis, a 1,000-year-old egg, a fish smoothie, and pig blood curd.
“Wow, it all smells so terrible,” Kimmel added, noting that the fish smoothie was particularly foul and “smells like being at the beach.”
Corden selected pig blood curd as the first option for Kimmel, but was shocked to see that the comedian put one in his mouth before he asked him the question.
“Did I go too fast? I don’t know how the game works,” Kimmel said. “It’s actually not bad.”
Kimmel continued to be unfazed by the gross substances in front of him, nearly downing a shot of ghost pepper hot sauce. Corden finally got the chance to pose an inquiry to Kimmel, asking who’s his least favorite current late-night host, but the host decided to take a small sip of the hot sauce instead.
Next, Kimmel went with balut, a fertilized egg, for Corden before asking him the following question: “Were you as miserable doing ‘Carpool Karaoke’ with Britney Spears as it looked like you were?”
Corden expressed that he was “very sad that it looked like that,” but promised that he wasn’t miserable at all, despite his noticeable brow sweat.
Kimmel continued to fill his gut instead of spill his guts, eating bull penis instead of revealing his annual salary. “I never imagined penis would be quite this chewy,” he admitted, before spitting it out in a bucket.
Meanwhile, Corden took the other route, answering that he thought he was a better singer than Jimmy Fallon rather than eating chicken feet, but was later forced to try the fish smoothie after he was unable to come up with the names of two cameraman in the room.
“Oh, you might have to host the Emmys on Sunday,” a queasy Kimmel told Corden after eating the 1,000-year-old egg when he maintained that he would never give a celebrity his phone number that he didn’t want to have it, which he admitted was a cop-out.
