James Corden and David Beckham channel Miami Vice’s Sonny and Rico in epic sketch
James Corden and David Beckham have the sleeves of their crisp white suits pushed up to their elbows in a fantastic nod to Sonny Crockett and Rico Tubbs
James Corden and pal David Beckham channel Miami Vice’s Sonny and Rico in a sketch for Corden’s Late, Late Show.
In a nod to Don Johnson, who played detective Sonny Crockett alongside Philip Michael Thomas as Rico Tubbs, the pair have the sleeves of their crisp white suits pushed up to their elbows.
The sketch comes as Beckham prepares for the new season with Inter Miami CF.
In it, comedian Corden tells Becks: “We’ve got to get you ready for Miami.”
The pair then roar off in a Ferrari like the one in the 1980s cop show – only to get stuck in typical Los Angeles traffic.
The latest offering from the celebrity duo comes as James is being lined up to supersede Ellen DeGeneres to become the new ruler of afternoon talk shows.
It follows accusations the older rival created a toxic workplace for long suffering employees.
For months, 62-year-old Ellen has found herself engulfed in accusations of bullying behaviour by employees, past guest, and fellow celebs – with many calming her mean nature is common knowledge among the Hollywood elite.
Now 41-year-old James – who hosts late night talk show the Late Late Show in the USA – stands to swoop in to take over the lucrative late afternoon show slot amid rumours Ellen is preparing to quit her own show.
According to sources at NBC – the network which airs Ellen’s show – James had already been viewed as “the long term successor” to Ellen even before her troubles began.
Last week, Variety revealed Ellen and her show were being investigated amid allegations of racism, bullying and sexual harassment behind the scenes of the show – with allegations Ellen “turned a blind eye” to the shameful events.
