In a joint statement, the executive producers of the show stated that since The Late Late Show came off the air, they have been thinking of different ways to try and make a show amid the global crisis with people locked up in their houses. Both the executive producers added that they are going to try to put on the best show they can to entertain, raise awareness, raise money and hopefully lift spirits. They concluded by saying that shooting from James’ garage may be far from perfect, but under the circumstances, they hope it can help someone, somewhere, who needs some cheer right now.
