James Corden talked about the "Carpool Karaoke" segment in "The Late Late Show."
In a feature with WSJ, the host talked about how he landed a spot in the late-night show industry as well as "Carpool Karaoke." The basic premise behind the segment is to bring in singers for a drive around the city and sing along to their hits or other popular songs.
"We're talking about, genuinely, the biggest stars on the planet, who-not always by choice-are surrounded by people all of the time," Corden told the publication. "Security, makeup, assistant, manager, publicist. Then suddenly they get in a car and are on their own-with me."
James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke" has guested Sia, Elton John, Justin Bieber, Adele, One Direction, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Stevie Wonder and Iggy Azalea.
"In many respects, it's the dream job for me," "The Late Late Show" host said. "I don't know if it's playing to my strengths. It's more like ignoring my weaknesses."
CBS boss Les Moonves revealed how they decided on James Corden to be the successor of David Letterman.
"Ninety-five percent of people didn't know who I was talking about," Moonves admitted. "The only people who did were either Brits or people who knew the Broadway theater scene."
"When I mentioned it to [British-born Vogue editor] Anna Wintour, she was over the moon-she thought I'd gotten Johnny Carson back."
Meanwhile, James Corden ranted about McDonald's all-day breakfast promo. According to People, "The Late Late Show" host hates that breakfast food is now available at any time of the day.
"We may have gained all-day breakfast, but we lost the thrill of showing up at McDonald's just before they stop serving it," Corden said.
"Nothing can replace ordering a McGriddle at 10:29, then watching a guy who didn't wake up in time settle for chicken nuggets. I can't be trusted with 24/7 McMuffin access. I am not a strong enough man."
