James Corden says jokes about Trump are about ‘good versus evil’

“Late Late Show” host James Corden says he doesn’t think of jokes about President Trump and his administration as political, but rather as being about “good versus evil.”

“I will say that as time’s gone on, as we’ve been living under this administration, I don’t even consider it to be politics,” the British-born TV personality said in a Sunday interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

“I consider it to be right and wrong,” Corden, 42, added. “I consider it to be good versus evil.”

Corden regularly roasts Trump on his late-night show, making headlines in October for mocking the president’s response to the coronavirus pandemic with a parody of Paul McCartney’s 1970 hit, “Maybe I’m Amazed,” called “Maybe I’m Immune.”

In his interview with “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, the CBS host said his show is “more than comfortable talking about anything.”

“We also feel like we’re an entertainment show,” Corden noted. “Our primary concern is to just try and make you laugh somehow. That’s really what we love to do,” he said with a chuckle. “And I’ll really stop at nothing to try. It may not always work, but I’ll give it my best shot, you know?”
