Tonight's (May 21) 'The Late Late Show With James Corden' hosted Rob Gronkowski and Venus Williams. The American football tight end and tennis player are due to appear on 'Game On!' on CBS on May 27. The show, hosted by Keegan-Michael Key, features Gronkowski and Williams as captains of their teams competing against each other in a wide variety of sports-adjacent challenges. Combining the fun of competition with comedic bloopers, the show focuses on what it is when professional athletes out of their comfort zone.

The duo spoke about their experience on the show. While there were moments where they were doing terrifying stunts, both Williams and Gronkowski said that it was fun to film them. One of the dangerous tasks was to be suspended upside down on a harness and then having to do sit-ups. "After I was done doing it, it took those nerves out; I felt like I could go bungee-jumping now," Gronkowski said. 

"Just be careful  have fun," a fan wished them well for their stunts. "Bittersweet feels watching this as a Pats fan," tweeted a fan about Gronkowski, a former New England Patriots player. "Gronk really showed the WWE 24/7 Title on his interview on James Corden’s show!" tweeted a fan. Venus' appearance saw her in high spirits, genuinely enjoying her time on the show chatting and playing the Blender challenge. "@Venuseswilliams #Enjoyed you on the James Corden show. You smiled the entire time. Happy Happy Venus!" tweeted a fan. 

By the end, both of them had to put toothpaste in the blender and drink it. This got many fans upset. "So the blender challenge was fun but the fluoride in the toothpaste is poisonous," tweeted one. "They don't know that it's dangerous to eat toothpaste? It gives a warning on the label.  #latelateshow@Venuseswilliams @RobGronkowski #latelateshow," added another. "It's not healthy to ingest toothpaste. @RobGronkowski @serenawilliams @JKCorden."

Fans are now looking forward to see Williams and Bronkowski compete in next week's 'Game On!' "Fun seeing Venus Williams on #JamesCorden #TheLateLateshow next looking forward to next week’s #GameOn." Going by the fun competitive energy the two brought on the late-night show tonight, we are sure 'Game On!' will be an enthralling watch.
