JTA — Bernie Sanders was everywhere on James Corden’s late-night show set on Thursday.
Life-sized cardboard cutouts of the Jewish senator in his now famous inauguration ceremony pose — hands and legs crossed, slightly crumpled in his chair, wearing a pair of fawned-over mittens — sat behind a synthesizer next to the house band, behind the bar for guests and scattered throughout the practically nonexistent audience.
“Speaking of breakout stars of the inauguration, we have another one with us in the studio,” Corden said, barely holding in his laughter.
It was a fitting indication of just how ubiquitous Sanders’ image was in pop culture and for the eyeballs of social media this week.
