James Corden Goes on Cruise Control

Every once in a while, James Corden brings in a big film star and does a pretty entertaining sketch that's a frenetic montage of the actor's career. The show hit a pretty high bar on their very first program with Tom Hanks that, for me, remains their best. But they've all been fun and well-done. The other day, they added a new one to the list -- Tom Cruise. He seems a bit wary about diving in, but eventually the energy of it all takes over, and it works well. Also, unlike the others, there's a fun surprise in the middle.

It's worth noting, as well, that whoever plans these out does a terrific job. It's no easy task, most especially at this pace, yet comes across as pretty seamless.
