The segment returned after a prolonged break
Addressing the highly-anticipated return of the series at a recent press conference, James said: "It's felt over the past year — very, very slowly, in one sense or another — like we started to get our show back. But this was, this is obviously a big part of our show — this segment."
The 43-year-old continued: "The entire pandemic … there [were] so many things that we couldn't do, and I think that's true of every show. But for us, our show is very much about getting out there, whether that's running out into the street and doing musicals in a crosswalk or big taped bits or having all the guests together on a couch at the same time."
