James Corden is heading back to London. However, despite all of the rumors of him moving permanently back to Blightly, in this moment, he’s taking The Late Late Show to the British capital for the first time in three years. The CBS is heading to the UK for a special week of broadcasts from June 27 to June 30 – the first time that the show has been able to mount such a production since Covid began. The series will be shot at the Freemasons’ Hall in London – known for its opening scene of British spy series Spooks – and it marks the fourth time that the late-night show has been made across the pond. Corden tells Deadline that these shows “have always been amongst our best shows we’ve ever done”. You can see why because this year it will feature taped segments from President Joe Biden and a Carpool Karaoke as well as studio guests including Vin Diesel, Billie Eilish and Ed Sheeran. Biden will take part in a Take A Break segment – arguably Corden’s highest … [Read more...] about ‘The Late Late Show’: James Corden Brings Show Back To London, Takes A Break With President Biden & Carpool Karaoke With Lizzo

Your Favorite Artist Needs Touring Musicians. Jammcard is Supplying Them
For decades, if an artist needed a backing band in the studio or on the road, their main option was scouring through their contacts to find musicians to play with. Elmo Lovano wants to change that. Lovano, a longtime touring and session drummer himself who’s worked with artists such as Miley Cyrus and Skrillex, launched Jammcard in 2017, creating one of the most comprehensive databases of professional musicians for hire in the music industry . His goal: modernize how artists find musicians to play with. “I essentially set out to make what I wish we had when I was gigging most often,” Lovano says. “The only other option is to send out a mass text to 20 people and hope you find someone. Whether you’re an up-and-comer or someone working with Beyoncé, the whole creative side of our industry is word of mouth. There’s a better way to do this, and I want to make the global database of the whole live music industry that’s searchable and bookable to help musicians get more work.” … [Read more...] about Your Favorite Artist Needs Touring Musicians.

‘Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee Back In The Woods After Contracting Covid To Finish Abortion Rights-Themed Summer Closer
EXCLUSIVE : Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has had to return to its pandemic roots after its host contracted Covid. Bee tested positive for the virus, meaning that the TBS show has had to leave the studio and return to Bee’s backyard woods in upstate New York to finish its final episode before heading off for a summer break. The former Daily Show correspondent told Deadline that she’s feeling fine and only has a mild case but she wanted to plunder through in order to finish an episode centered around abortion rights ahead of the expected Supreme Court ruling. The Court is expected to rule on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization – a Mississippi case that could ostensibly overturn Roe v. Wade – any day now. Such a ruling would mean that the legal status of abortion would be left for individual states to decide and it could become illegal in about half of the country, particularly in the South and Midwest. “We worked so hard on the show. We really … [Read more...] about ‘Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee Back In The Woods After Contracting Covid To Finish Abortion Rights-Themed Summer Closer
