The Friday Link for 4/28/23

This week we start off with James Corden's last show as the host of the Late Late Show.  I know he's gotten some grief lately for allegedly losing it at restaurants, but considering a lot of celebrities are somewhat demanding and easy to anger, I think this is more about some people relishing in trashing him.

I thought he did a pretty good job on The Late Late Show. He definitely made it his own, and Carpool Karaoke is one of the best all-time talk show bits.

For the final show, he got some surprise visitors.  I especially love Seth Meyers, his direct competition, showing up to play along.  And a surprise guest too! 

Speaking of things from England, it's Coronation Weekend! Regardless of what you think about King Chuck, there is a bit of fun that goes along with it (and a staggering bill the British people have to pay). 

An official Coronation Meal is always on tap, and the one they did for Queen Elizabeth was Coronation Chicken, a poached chicken served chilled.  I've had it before and it is delicious.

Tasting History with Max Miller will show you how to make it (no joke, be careful with the poaching) so you can celebrate along with that weird, weird family. 

And to wrap things up tonight is True Facts: Killer Parasitic Zombie Fungi. These are the fungi that are the inspiration for The Last of Us video game and wildly popular television show (watch it, it's worth it!). It is remarkable the number of things these spores have figured out to do...

Have a great weekend, and remember to stay up to date on your vaccinations!
