Tonight’s (April 29) episode of ‘The Late Late Night Show With James Corden’ was replaced by one of its previous episodes of carpool karaoke with BTS because the host has undergone a minor eye surgery. 

Earlier on April 29, he issued a statement saying he would be taking a break from his late-night show as he recovering from the surgery while in isolation at his home in Los Angeles, California. 

“Hey all. I had to have minor surgery on my eye yesterday. I am doing well and recovering, but won’t be able to film new episodes for a few nights. Thank you to everyone who has been watching the Late Late Shows from my garage. I’ll be back soon. Stay safe and well everybody."

Fan wished their favorite host a speedy recovery through a series of tweets. While one said, "Get well soon James, your amazing. Take care, stay safe with your family. Love Claudine.”

“Get well soon! We'll pray for your fast recovery,” wished another. 

Besides expressing their desire to see him back on camera soon, fans were also seen thanking him for re-airing one of BTS’s carpool karaoke episodes, despite having watched it a “zillion times”. 

One fan said, “Hey @latelateshow I watch this episode almost daily on youtube. By the way Thank you for again Re-airing this episode. Love you @BTS_twt." 

"Awww watching @BTS_twt on TV is so special. Thank you for having the guys on the show and thank you to choosing to rerun the episode. I have watched this carpool a gazillion times on yt but I never get tired seeing the guys having a great time. Thank you Papa Mochi @JKCorden (sic)," added another. 

In the re-aired episode, Corden asks the BTS members if they have nicknames and says he loves the name Mochi, a name for Japanese rice cake. Soon the K-Pop gang start calling him Papa Mochi. Going by the tweets, fans seem to have thoroughly enjoyed re-watching the segments and are even asking for similar reruns.

‘The Late Late Show with James Corden' airs on all the weekdays on ABC. You can also watch it on Jimmy Kimmel’s official YouTube channel.
