'One Day More' of President Trump - Les Misérables parody
The Late Late Show host enlisted the likes of Matt Lucas and stars of broadway for a reworking of the Les Mis song to raise funds for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS' emergency COVID-19 fund.
James Corden has joined forces with a host of Broadway stars to mark Donald Trump's last official day as US President.
The Late Late Show presenter has paid tribute to Les Misérables' iconic One Day More song by reworking the lyrics to reflect the huge political event, which sees Joe Biden become US President.
The video starts with a masked Corden walking up to a television, which sees Trump make a speech about votes being stolen.
His reworked lyrics begin: "One day more/The final day of Trump as President/The White House has a brand new resident It’s been four years of endless crimes/But now he’s finally out of time/One day more".
The performance then sees Corden joined by a host of stars including multi award-winning actress Patti LuPone and fellow Brit Matt Lucas, who plays an anti-masker and Trump supporter.
