James Corden has added a new episode to Peter Jackson’s Disney Plus docuseries The Beatles: Get Back. The Late Late Show host’s spoof introduces another band member, Gary Thump, who apparently contributed to the Beatles’ musical output.
James Corden has parodied The Beatles documentary Get Back in a sketch for The Late Late Show.
The clip sees Corden edited into archival footage of the seminal rock ‘n’ roll band, playing a hapless fifth Beatle called Gary Thump.
Over the course of the sketch, Corden’s character struggles to play guitar, announces he’s joined a cult, and attempts to pitch a number of terrible songs to the rest of the band.
After seeing Paul McCartney perform “Let It Be,” Thump states: “You know what Paul, A for effort, but let it be, let it shmee. If you’re looking for a banging tune, this isn’t it. Thankfully, he’s got some ideas for a replacement.
