Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Schaal Wore Cheek Retractors, and It Was Terrifying

They like to have fun over at The Late Late Show With James Corden, and sometimes that fun can become a delirious fever dream. Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Schaal were on the program, during which they tried talking with cheek-expanding mouth guards — similar to the bit in their upcoming movie, The Boss. “I’m, like, soaking wet,” said McCarthy through the guard as the three of them drooled while attempting to speak. Corden realized that anything they said would immediately become ridiculous. “I know how to stop ISIS,” joked Schaal, outlining the absurdity of the situation. “Like no one cares.”

Putting a hat on a hat, they indulged in more physical gags, like trying to drink water. Thankfully all of them were wearing adult bibs to clean up spillage. They then tried to blow bubbles, which — no surprise — was extremely difficult. After attempting to “shout” the bubbles out, Corden got creative and blew bubbles by exhaling through his nose.
