Corden’s 2016 sing-a-long with Adele has been viewed more than 260 million times on YouTube.
Los Angeles — With the final episode of “The Late Late Show With James Corden” airing Thursday night following a successful eight-year run, the British entertainer opened up about what has become one of the most iconic sketches in late night television history.
Corden kicked off “Carpool Karaoke” in March of 2015, and it was instantly a hit.
“I was like, ‘this is bulletproof, this will work as a segment, I know it will,'” Corden told CBS News.
The first episode, featuring Mariah Carey and Corden driving around Los Angeles, has garnered more than 36 million views on YouTube.
“Mariah Carey came out of the house and said to me, ‘I’m not singing today, I was up all night,'” Corden said.
