Things We Saw Today: Matt Smith and James Corden Team Up for Lizzie and The Duke

Former eleventh Doctor Matt Smith just wrapped two seasons on The Crown as young Prince Phillip. He was a guest on The Late Show with James Corden, where he and host shot a spoof trailer for Lizzie and the Duke. The trailer features Smith as the prince and Corden as Queen Elizabeth teaming up to fight crime, and the results are pretty hilarious. Terry Crews even makes an appearance as the requisite no-nonsense police chief.

TBH, we would totally watch this show. Corden has been killing it lately with his filmed segments, and his guests seem more than game.

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
