This is a “special” edition of this blog, only because it hearkens back to our specific Media & Public Opinion class session last November 2, 2020. In that class, I did a riff on the end of the presidential election campaign using “One Day More” from “Les Misérables.”
If you’re not interested, it’s perfectly OK to stop reading now. (And I promise not to do this sort of thing often.)
But if you remember that class, and if you care to see a much-better-produced, pre-inauguration version of that concept, I invite you to enjoy this excerpt from the CBS “Late Late Show” with comedian James Corden. It features a Broadway cast including Joshua Grosso, Jillian Butler, Emily Bautista, Kyle Scatliffe, Shuler Hensley, Patti LuPone and Matt Lucas.
If you enjoyed that, here are two more well-produced inauguration parodies I commend for your viewing, from Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show on ABC…
And from Stephen Colbert’s “A Late Show”…
