The version of the sandwich bit in the script is longer and less funny and the guy in the audience is much more obviously a plant; they clearly trimmed it down in rehearsals, thank goodness. I strongly suspect that Corden routinely ad-libbed around the edges of the exchange; certainly he does in the "tonight of all nights!" in the filmed version, which was not in the live performance I saw. But it was one of my favorite things, too, the way he 100% sells the "WTF IS HAPPENING HERE, THAT WAS NOT A REAL QUESTION"; I was surprised to find the bit in the script because it felt so utterly un-staged.

Also right there with you re: Oliver Chris. He is a treasure.
