Jimmi Simpson Appears During Kanye Westworld Sketch On Corden’s “Late Late Show”
The hosts are unable to say anything but Kanye West Tweets.

Kanye West has been generating major headlines for his recent Tweets. “Westworld” has been generating major attention for its first two second season episodes.
Kanye West’s acclaimed song “Runaway,” moreover, appeared prominently during this Sunday’s edition of “Westworld.”
Given those factors (and the obvious wordplay involving the rapper’s name), it should come as no surprise that a late-night talk show would merge the two concepts.
CBS’ “The Late Late Show With James Corden” made good on that expectation Monday night. The program aired a “Kanye Westworld” sketch in which the hosts were malfunctioning — and only able to recite West’s eccentric Tweets.
“Westworld” star Jimmi Simpson made a cameo in the segment.
