James Corden’s final episode of The Late Late Show will air on April 27.
Corden announced last year that he would be stepping down after hosting the CBS network talk show since 2015.
One of the most popular segments of the show is Carpool Karaoke, in which Corden picks up major musical celebrities, drives them around and sings with them.
In celebration and mourning of the end of Carpool Karaoke, here are some of the biggest and best moments of the show.
Michelle Obama and Missy Elliott
Michelle Obama and Missy Elliott were brought together for this awe-inspiring combination.
Corden rose to the challenge of having these two legendary figures on the show and the best moment was when all three of them had an absolute blast singing along to Get Your Freak On.
Cardi B
This segment features Cardi B, who is excruciatingly honest about her grind to the top, and James Corden, who is still from Buckinghamshire despite all his Hollywood success.
There are some genuinely funny moments, like when Cardi uses her water bottle as a microphone and winds down her window to shout at cars driving by.
Rod Stewart and A$AP Rocky
This clip features the seemingly odd duo of Rod Stewart and A$AP Rocky.
Rod is as laidback and charming as ever, and the scene gets even better when A$AP pops up to rap his verse.
Madonna
Madonna’s carpool made this list purely for the opening song sequence, which features her hit song Vogue on the radio, and both Madonna and Corden go all out at every “strike a pose” command.
The good vibes are infectious.
Adele
Adele’s drive with Corden in 2016 has become the most viewed Carpool Karaoke clip ever, with 261 million views.
Not only is Adele her usual genial self, but she also belts out her songs and even raps Nicki Minaj’s verse from Monster.
Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish’s carpool is the most wholesome of the bunch.
She seems like an 18-year-old, earnest and enthusiastic about every song James plays.
The best part of this segment is when the duo makes a stop at Billie’s childhood home to check out her tarantula.
Gwen Stefani, George Clooney & Julia Roberts
The cameo appearance of George Clooney and Julia Roberts during Gwen Stefani’s drive is the biggest superstar carpool moment.
Who would have thought that the two actors would rap along to Hollaback Girl?
Britney Spears
Back before the end of her conservatorship, Britney Spears was featured in a Carpool Karaoke segment.
She was sweet and hilarious, and it was a treat for her fans to see her sing along to her smash hits.
A round two with a freer, happier Britney would be most welcome.
Adele, round two
For the last ever episode of Carpool Karaoke, Adele surprises a fast asleep James Corden, sneaking into his bedroom and waking him up with the crash of two cymbals.
The emotional segment includes flashbacks to some of the duo’s best moments together from the show, and they both belt out the tunes, including Adele’s 2021’s tracks I Drink Wine and Love Is A Game.
Commentary:
Carpool Karaoke has been a massive success for The Late Late Show, and James Corden has become synonymous with the segment.
The show’s popularity can be attributed to the unique premise of the segment, the affable personality of Corden, and the viral moments it has produced.
With the end of Corden’s hosting tenure, fans will miss this hilarious and entertaining segment.
However, the legacy of Carpool Karaoke
