Harry Styles Does Surprise 'Late Late Show' Monologue

(Radio.com) As the Late Late Show curtains parted at the beginning of Tuesday night's episode (May 16), audience members were surprised and delighted to see Harry Styles take the stage like a boss and deliver a rapid-fire succession of jokes and one-liners with impeccable comedic timing.

Styles, who's co-hosting the week of shows with James Corden, took the late night host's place and gave an opening monologue that included jabs at political figures, and ended with the always-funny pirate jokes.

Later in the show, the former One Direction star performed the track "Carolina" from his self-titled debut album. Watch online video of Styles' opening monolog here.
