No performer is better suited for a late night sidekick gig than Reggie Watts, a musician-comedian with ideas as weird as his hair is huge. And he’s putting his idiosyncratic skills to good use as bandleader on “The Late Late Show,” serving up improvisational banter with guests and sparking comedic chemistry with new host James Corden. Watts’ toothy smile and stoned stage presence are the perfect foil for Corden’s polite British silliness. From the hilarious “Reggie’s Question” segment to his soulful title theme and quirky musical interludes (with hilariously named house band Karen), he’s the show’s not-so-secret weapon – it’s easy to wish Watts was hosting himself.
