Speaking about performing in front of a live audience, he said he would feel like he was “going to die if they didn’t laugh”, which was “not healthy, for sure”.

He would “sweat” and “freak out” when people didn’t laugh, he said, adding that he “felt like that every single night”.

The cast reunited on the original soundstage in Burbank, California, to record the show, with James Corden fronting the reunion to a live audience.
