James Corden explains how Hillary Clinton saved his Grammys sketch

The Grammys audience was shocked to see Hillary Clinton pop up as the final participant to James Corden’s Fire and Fury sketch, and, on some level, so was Corden himself. As the host explained on The Late Late Show Monday night, he had to lie his way through the filming process because he wasn’t sure if his wild card player would agree to appear.

“We had the idea to do that about 11 days ago,” he said. “We were thinking about different [ideas]. ‘Oh, that’s quite a good idea. But we can only do it if Hillary Clinton is the last person to read. Without that we don’t know what to do.'”

The sketch saw John Legend, Cardi B, Cher, DJ Khaled, and Snoop Dogg reading excerpts from Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House — the same book that called the president’s mental stability into question, that included damning quotes from former chief strategist Steve Bannon, and that claimed Trump had a nightly ritual with a cheeseburger.

All the celebs had agreed to participate under the assumption Clinton was also involved. Though, at the time, that wasn’t guaranteed.

I'd heard about it but hadn't seen it. It was great, like everything Hillary does. Boy do I miss her and President Obama. Just yesterday I was thinking about the memes that came from photos of her when she was SoS. Her hair long, texting, wearing sunglasses...dang, weren't they great!

the applause and ovations she truly deserves. Her and Bill's appearance at "Hamilton" when the audience rose to greet and applaud her and so many other times. I think her doing these things make her happy and that really is what it's all about to me. I want her happy and knowing how much she is still loved and appreciated. Also, it must roil trump to no end and that makes it even better.
