James Corden Comes Clean About Carpool Karaoke

IT'S THE LATE LATE SHOW ♪ ♪ THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. NOW I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING. I'M SURE THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT I RECENTLY BEEN THE VICTIM OF A SCANDAL IN THE MEDIA. AND THERE ARE SOME VERY, VERY SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ME. AND I JUST... I WANT TO GET AHEAD ON EVERYTHING AND ADDRESS THOSE RUMORS AND ASSURE THE PUBLIC, THESE ACCUSATIONS ARE NOT TRUE. WELL. OF COURSE, I'M TALKING... OF COURSE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO SAY HE DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR DURING KARAOKE IN CARPOOL, RIGHT? (APPLAUSE) NOW I REALLY HATE I'M ABOUT TO SAY THIS, RIGHT?

BUT FAKE NEWS, OKAY. NOW TO CATCH YOU UP, A FEW DAYS AGO SOMEONE TWEET THIS VIDEO. Hey, it's the BIEBS. KARAOKE BY CAR. THAT'S SO FUNNY. HELLO, JUSTIN BIEBER AND JAMES CORDEN. I KNOW THIS LOOKS BAD. (LAUGHTER) BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY NOW THAT WE ALWAYS DRIVE THE CAR UNLESS WE ARE DOING SOMETHING WE THINK MIGHT NOT BE SAFE. LIKE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A DANCE ROUTINE OR A CHANGE OF COSTUME, YOU KNOW, OR IF I'M DRUNK, RIGHT? (LAUGHTER) BUT IN JUSTIN BIEBER'S CASE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE WE THOUGHT WE WAS TO TOW THE CAR AND, FRANKLY, I KEPT LOSING HIS EYES, OKAY.

NOW THAT CURRENT VIDEO YOU JUST WATCHED HAS OVER 13 MILLION VIEWS. WHICH IS MORE THAN SOME TRAVEL KARAOKES. GOOD? I mean it's caused a bit of a media frenzy. BUG C SAID JAISMS CORDEN HAS BEEN EXPOSED. AOL CALLED IT DREAM-SHA THE KARAOKE REVELATIONS IN ARING'S CARPOOL. AND THE GUARDIAN WROTE THE HEADLINE, THE WORST LIE SINCE SANTA. WHY KARAOKE AT CARPOOL IS THE BIGGEST CONVENTION ON TV. (LAUGHTER) LOOK, I'M SHOCKED that I've done something that bothers people more than "cats," right? (Applause and applause) BUT IT'S NOT JUST-- THESE PEOPLE ARE FURY, THEY WERE TWEETING THINGS LIKE I, FOR ONE, AM OUTRAGED.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T TRUST MEN. (LAUGHTER) I'M DONE WITH ALL THE LIES. ALL OF YOU. BUT WHAT HURT THE MOST WAS WHEN THEY CALLED ME A LIAR, RIGHT, AND THAT WAS BY TWITTER USER ASS GAZE, OKAY. NOW HERE'S THE THING. You know, there are people I would like to lie to this in the world, but I would never lie to my eyes, okay. I SWEAR THAT 95% OF THE TIME I'M REALLY PUTTING THE LIVERS OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST POP STARS IN DANGER, OKAY. BUT THIS IS A TV SHOW. NOT EVERYTHING IS REAL. OUR SHOW IS NOT RECORDED AFTER MIDNIGHT, WE RECORD IT AT 5 P.M.

AND PRETEND IT'S LIGHT. REGGIE WATTS IS NOT ACTUALLY HERE, IT'S 100% CGI, OKAY. (LAUGHTER) AND I HATE TO BE THE BEARER OF EVEN MORE BAD NEWS, BUT WHILE WE'RE GETTING THINGS OUT, I DON'T REALLY NEED YOU TO HELP ME GET TO WORK, RIGHT? (LAUGHTER) I'M OFTEN ALREADY AT WORK. (APPLAUSE) ALSO NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF DOING THAT HAVE WE USED THE CAR LANE. THERE IS NOT EVEN A DRIVE LANE ON MY WAY TO WORK. AND I THOUGHT WE ALL KNEW THIS. AND I'M SORRY THAT YOU WERE SO DEEP INTO THE REALITY OF CARPOOL KARAOKE. BUT IT'S TV.

AND SOMETIMES WE DO THINGS JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT, OKAY. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CAR SHARING, WITH VERY RARE EXCEPTIONS FOR SAFETY, I DRIVE THE CAR. AND I WANT CREDIT FOR THAT BECAUSE I WAS RAISED DRIVING ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE ROAD. (LAUGHTER) NOW LOOK, I'M GOING TO BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT WITH YOU RIGHT NOW. HERE SAYS THE LIST OF EVERY CAR KARAOKE WHICH I USED A TRAILER ON. AND THIS IS A LIST OF EVERYONE WHERE THE CAR WAS DRIVING, OKAY. (Applause and applause) AND I WANT TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, TO YOU, OUR AUDIENCE, I AM NOTHING BUT A MAN OF INTEGRITY.

THAT SAID, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW SEASON OF THE CARPOOL KARAOKE SERIES, NOW STREAMING EXCLUSIVELY ON APPLE TV. ENJOY THIS PREVIEW WHERE EVERYONE DRIVES THE CAR. EXCEPT THE TIMES THEY ARE NOT. (Applause and applause) VERY GOOD, GUYS. WOW! ♪ HAWAII HOPES TO EARN A LIVING. ♪ YES, MY MAN. ♪ ALL THIS IS THE CREATION. ♪. WELCOME TO THE SURPRISE SINGER. TAKE MY HORSE TO THE OLD TOWN ROAD. ♪ I'M GOING TO RIDE UNTIL I CAN'T ANYMORE. ♪. WHAT AM I, CHOPPED LIVER. COME ON, WE HAVE ANOTHER, COME ON. ♪. WHEN I WILL BE LOVED. ♪ CAN YOU BRING IT? IT'S OVER.
