Answer:
"Carpool Karaoke of The Late Late Show with James Corden" is the
show that I am recently into it. It's a show where the host, James Corden picks up
celebrity in his car and have fun by singing and dancing. The one which really
caught my eye was when Bruno Mars appeared as a guest in the show, since i
personally like his music he appearing in the show was really fun to watch.
So I choose to mute the episode where migos appeared as a guest, and it was
really stupidly funny in a good way. As a viewer I really enjoyed watching the
show and was laughing out loud by seeing there muted moving mouth and there
funny body gesture, it was like watching modern Charlie Chaplin who is into hip
hop.

observing there nonverbal communication is that they were having fun and enjoyed
each other's company.
