James Corden is doing okay for himself across the pond in America.

But the one thing that's really been a huge hit on the British comic's The Late Late Show slot is his Carpool Karaoke. He's had some pretty famous faces in the front seat of his car too - with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Chris Martin and Justin Bieber joining him for an epic sing-along. His Carpool Karaoke with Adele has already been viewed 92,189,181 times and the concept has brought us some classic TV moments. It was a stroke of genius really - but it all began back when he appeared on Comic Relief in 2011 as his Gavin and Stacey character, Smithy. Decked out in his iconic Smithy tracksuit and driving around in a knackered old Volvo estate, it's a far cry from the flash wheels in his current Carpool Karaoke. The clip shows him having a crack with Lenny Henry on the phone whilst driving around with singer George Michael. Corden then sticks on classic Wham hit 'I'm Your Man' and the pair belt it out. A brilliant TV format was born... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW12S4-KB1I
