During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, stand-up comedian Chris Laker shares the perks of being with a woman who earns more than he does. And he tries to process why older generations are so mad at Millenials and their participation trophies. Chris and Jack Antonoff host the podcast “A Very Long Conversation.”
Chris Laker is a New York City-based stand-up who just made his television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Named a New Face at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2011, Chris’s sharp and edgy comedy has earned him a loyal following in New York’s alternative scene, where he’s hosted a variety of shows (The Show at The Creek and the Cave, The Laker Awards) and podcasts: This Week in Jackin’, Heteronormative, and Overslept. This past year Chris has been opening for Mike Birbiglia on his Working It Out and The New One tours. Chris’s debut stand-up album, “Moments of Greatness”(Comedy Dynamics) is available everywhere that sells music. Chris writes and acts too.
Broadway, television and film star James Corden takes over the reins of the late-late-night franchise at CBS from fellow U.K. import Craig Ferguson. The British performer — whose previous hosting gigs include five years of The Brit Awards — puts his charm, warmth and creative instincts to use as he interviews celebrities and newsmakers, and hosts musical performances in his post-“Late Show” time slot.
