If you’re a fan of The Late Late Show with James Corden or his beloved Carpool Karaoke, you’re likely charmed by his humor, endearing nature, and contagious laughter. And if you’ve watched Game of Thrones, you already know why it’s so captivating. So, what could be better than Corden getting us hyped for the final season premiering this Sunday? Absolutely nothing!
By now, you’ve surely heard that Season 8 of Game of Thrones is almost here. Fans have been anxiously awaiting its return since 2017, making this bittersweet, as it marks the series’ conclusion. Remembering the intricate details from all 67 episodes can be overwhelming—unless you’ve been binge-watching for weeks, you might need a quick refresher. That’s where James Corden comes in, delivering a four-minute rap that sums up the entire saga.
He expertly condenses the drama, using his signature humor to keep it lively. Kicking off with Season 1, he raps, “There’s Rob, Arya, Sansa, and Bran. Did Daenerys just marry Aquaman? With all these houses it’s tough to keep straight. Did that kid just breastfeed? I swear he’s like eight.”
Season 2 continues with just as much wit, featuring Jon Snow’s encounters with the Wildlings (“one who was hot”) and the introduction of the White Walkers. Corden can’t resist throwing in a jab at Trump: “The bad guys marched south to make mankind fall, but unlike Trump, the North has a wall.” He also highlights characters with “missing their junk,” but it’s best to catch all the clever lines yourself.
If you’re anything like me, you probably find yourself pausing the show repeatedly to ask your partner, “Wait, who is that and which house are they from?” We’ve even had to consult friends who are die-hard fans to clarify complex family ties, like how Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are related. Thankfully, they’ve crafted family trees to help us keep track!
Corden’s recap of Season 3 is equally entertaining, with lines like, “Jon Snow got promoted, which made us all cheer. Stannis won’t win father of the year.” He breezes through the following four seasons, wrapping it all up in a mere four minutes—a remarkable feat considering the sheer volume of content. Impressively, the rap was penned by a staff member, Lisa Hayes, who binged the entire series in a single marathon session.
Closing the rap, Corden quips, “For fans of the show, the haze is starting to clear. In just four more days, winter is here.” The excitement is palpable!
