CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Playbill reports:



Billy Porter knows how to shine in the spotlight. The Kinky Boots Tony winner spent nearly six minutes making an entrance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, including two runway looks, an exit worthy of a soap opera diva, and a rendition of “I Will Survive.” The recent red carpet headliner dropped by the late night talk show to celebrate his 50th birthday.

Porter is Emmy-nominated for his performance as Pray Tell in Pose, about the ballroom culture in New York City in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Once Corden was finally able to get the multi-hyphenate on the sofa with Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Kirsten Dunst, he talked about the banner year he’s had.
