WOW THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) THANK YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT, I'M CHANCE THE RAPPER FILLING IN FOR JAMES

CORDEN WHO IS OFF ON HOLIDAY.

SO GRAB YOURSELF A CUPPA TEA AND A SCONE AND WE'RE GOING TO-- .

>> Reggie: YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE A BRITISH ACCENT.

>> OH, I JUST ADMIRE HIM SO MUCH, OKAY, THANK GOD, WHOA,

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.

I'M CHANCE THE RAPPER (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

BUT TONIGHT I'M NOT A RAPPER, I'M A HOST.

SO PLEASE ADDRESS ME AS HOST THE RAPPER.

(LAUGHTER) HONESTLY, IT IS SO GREAT TO BE

HERE TONIGHT WHEN JAMES ASKED ME TO COME OUT TO L.A. AND FILL IN

FOR HIM, I SAID I CAN'T WAIT.

NOT BECAUSE I WANTED TO HOST BUT BECAUSE IT'S DECEMBER AND I LIVE

IN CHICAGO.

SO I HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT A DAY BUT I ALREADY FEEL

LIKE I HAVE BEEN LEAVING A HUGE, LASTING IMPRESSION ON EVERYONE

HERE, ESPECIALLY MY PALS UP IN THE CONTROL ROOM.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YES.

(APPLAUSE) LOOKING GOOD, GUYS.

LOOKING GREAT.

ALL RIGHT.

SO THIS IS THE PART WHERE JAMES TELLS JOKES ABOUT THE NEWS.

>> YEAH.

>> SO THESE ARE MY NEWS JOKES.

FIRST OFF, IF YOU THOUGHT YOUR COMMUTE TO WORK THIS MORNING WAS

BRUTAL, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THERE WAS A TRAFFIC JAM OUTSIDE OF PAFER IS THIS MORNING-- PARIS

THIS MORNING THAT WAS 391 MILES LONG.

YEAH.

THE TRAFFIC JAM WAS A RESULT OF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS ON STRIKE.

THE EMPLOYEES REFUSING TO SHOW UP TO WORK TODAY INCLUDED BUS

DRIVER, TRAIN CONDUCTORS, TAXI DRIVERS AND APPARENTLY JAMES

COVEREDEN.

-- CORDEN.

(LAUGHTER) A 391 MILE LONG TRAFFIC JAM.

I HAD NO IDEA PARIS EVEN HAD THE NEW POPEYE'S CHICKEN SANDWICH.

(LAUGHTER) RIGHT?

DRIVERS IN PARIS WERE UNDERSTANDABLY UPSET, NEEDLESS

TO SAY THERE WAS ALLOTS OF, PARDON MY FRENCHES.

ALL RIGHT.

IN OTHER NEWS, THE HALLMARK CHANNEL APOLOGIZED YESTERDAY

AFTER TAKING DOWN A COMMERCIAL THAT FEATURES TWO BRIDES

KISSING.

MOST OF THE HALLMARK CHANNEL VIEWERS WERE UNAWARE OF THE

CONTROVERSY BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY DRINKING WHITE WINE

WITH THEIR CATS.

IN THE APOLOGY HALLMARK SAID LOVE IS LOVE IN ALL ITS FORMS

WHETHER IT IS BETWEEN A MAN WITH BROWN HAIR AND A QUIRKY WOMAN

WHO OWNS A BAKERY OR, ACTUALLY, THAT'S IT.

(LAUGHTER) FINALLY, HERE'S A CRAZY STORY.

THIS IS COMING STRAIGHT OUT OF AUSTRALIA.

A COUPLE RETURNED HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY AND WERE SHOCKED

BY WHAT THEY FOUND IN THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE.

A TEN FOOT LONG COILED UP PYTHON.

TAKE A LOOK.

YEAH.

EVEN WORSE, ONE OF THE GIFTS UNDER THE TREE WAS SUPPOSED TO

BE A NEW PUPPY.

A PYTHON ON A CHRISTMAS TREE OR AS SAMUEL L. JACKSON WOULD CALL

IT, SNAKES ON A PINE.
