  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • BUT MY MAIN WORRY, IT'S THE

  • FIRST TIME I'VE EVER DONE AN

  • AMERICAN ACCENT.

  • SO I'M PLAYING AN AMERICAN.

  • AND THAT IS -- THAT'S FILLING ME

  • WITH SOME FEAR.

  • >> Jimmy: NOW, WHEN YOU SAY "AN

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • THANS

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE A COACH,

  • AN ACCENT COACH?

  • >> I'VE GOT AN ACCENT COACH AND

  • THAT'S WONDERFUL.

  • BUT I WOULD SAY MY BEST ACCENT

  • COACH IS ACTUALLY MY SON, MY

  • 8-YEAR-OLD SON.

  • >> Jimmy: OH.

  • >> BECAUSE HE MOVED HERE TO

  • AMERICA OBVIOUSLY WITH US.

  • HE DIDN'T MOVE ON HIS OWN.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • HE DIDN'T JUST SAY MUM AND

  • DAD --

  • >> Jimmy: AN AMAZING KID.

  • HE SAILED HERE ON HIS OWN.

  • >> NO, SO WHEN WE MOVED -- HE

  • WAS 3 WHEN WE MOVED.

  • AND HE HAS GOT THIS INCREDIBLE

  • THING WHERE HE TALKS IN A

  • BRITISH ACCENT WITH ME AND MY

  • WIFE AND AN AMERICAN ACCENT WITH

  • ALL OF HIS BUDDIES AT SCHOOL,

  • AND HIS TEACHERS.

  • AND BETWEEN SENTENCE TO

  • SENTENCE.

  • SO HE'LL LIKE GO, "DAD, CAN WE

  • GO IN THE GARDEN?"

  • AND I GO YEAH, OF COURSE, BUDDY.

  • AND HE GOES, "KERRY, COME ON,

  • LET'S GO OUT IN THE YARD."

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> Jimmy: I LIKE THAT.

  • >> I'M JUST HANGING AROUND WITH

  • HIM AND HOPING IT RUBS OFF.

  • >> Jimmy: NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE

  • AN AMERICAN ACCENT HE HAS A

  • CALIFORNIA ACCENT IT SOUNDS

  • LIKE.

  • >> OH, MY DAUGHTER WHO MOVED

  • HERE WHEN SHE WAS 12 YEARS OLD,

  • SHE'S THE MOST CALIFORNIA.

  • SHE'S LIKE, "OH, MY GOD."

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • SHE'S 5 AND SHE'S LIKE, "I'M

  • GOING ON A JUICE CLEANSE."

  • >> Jimmy: KIDS REALLY INVENTED

  • THE JUICE CLEANSE, DIDN'T THEY?

  • >> FOR SURE.

  • WITH THAT SHOW.

  • >> THANK YOU.

  • >> Jimmy: AND OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE

  • KNOWS YOUR BREAKOUT -- YOU DO A

  • LOT MORE THAN JUST CARPOOL

  • KARAOKE.

  • BUT YOU HAD -- YOU DID AN

  • EPISODE, IF YOU CALL IT THAT,

  • WITH KANYE WEST NOT IN A CAR.

  • >> NO.

  • WE WENT IN AN AIRPLANE.

  • >> Jimmy: IT WAS AN AIRPLANE.

  • >> WITH HIS ENTIRE CHOIR.

  • >> Jimmy: AND I'M VERY CURIOUS

  • TO KNOW HOW THAT CAME TO PASS.

  • >> WHY ARE YOU CURIOUS, JIMMY?

  • >> Jimmy: BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN

  • THE MIX WITH KANYE AND I KNOW

  • THAT SOMETIMES -- THAT THINGS GO

  • ACCORDING TO KANYE'S PLAN.

  • NOT GOD'S PLAN.

  • KANYE'S PLAN.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> COMPLEX FELLOW.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • WELL, HERE'S HOW IT WENT.

  • THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE THIRD TIME

  • THAT WE HAD TRIED TO DO A SORT

  • OF CARPOOL KARAOKE WITH KANYE.

  • THE FIRST TIME HE AGREED AND

  • THEN HE CANCELED A FEW DAYS

  • LATER.

  • OH, THAT'S A SHAME, BUT IT'S

  • FINE.

  • THE SECOND TIME THAT KANYE

  • CANCELED CARPOOL KARAOKE WAS SO

  • LATE IN THE DAY THAT I WAS

  • DRIVING UP HIS ROAD IN THE CAR.

  • WITH ALL THE CAMERAS.

  • AND GOT THIS PHONE CALL SAYING

  • IT'S BEEN CANCELED.

  • AND I LITERALLY -- I THINK I

  • BASICALLY TURNED AROUND OUTSIDE

  • HIS HOUSE TO GO BACK TO THE

  • STUDIO.

  • SO THEN -- HE SENT ME A TEXT.

  • I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE TEXTED YOU

  • AROUND THE SAME TIME.

  • DID HE SEND YOU A TEXT SAYING I

  • WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE

  • CHOIR ON THE SHOW?

  • >> Jimmy: YES.

  • AND HE CALLED ME AS WELL.

  • >> ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

  • >> Jimmy: YES, THAT'S EXACTLY

  • RIGHT.

  • HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH THE Js

  • IN HIS PHONE I GUESS.

  • AND I THINK SO.

  • HE'S LIKE WHAT IS IT, A TALK

  • SHOW?

  • IT STARTS WITH J.

  • AND SO YES, COULD WE DO A

  • CARPOOL KARAOKE WITH THE WHOLE

  • CHOIR ON LIKE A BUS OR A TRUCK

  • IN L.A.?

  • AND I SAID YEAH, OF COURSE, THAT

  • WOULD BE AMAZING.

  • THAT WOULD BE GREAT, YE.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • AND HE GOES, COOL, LET'S DO IT

  • ON MONDAY.

  • AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, THAT'S

  • DIFFICULT.

  • BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET A TRUCK.

  • AND LIKE PERMITS.

  • >> Jimmy: LOGISTICS ARE NOT HIS

  • THING TO WORRY ABOUT.

  • >> THE CHOIR I THINK IS 150

  • PEOPLE.

  • THIS FEELS -- AND IT'S A

  • SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

  • BUT HE GOES, NO, I THINK MONDAY

  • WOULD BE GREAT.

  • I'M LIKE, OKAY.

  • ALL RIGHT.

  • SO I THEN SET ABOUT -- I CALLED

  • BEN OUR PRODUCER.

  • I CALLED ROB, THE PEOPLE THAT

  • WORK ON THE SHOW.

  • AND WE SET ABOUT MAKING IT

  • HAPPEN.

  • AND THEY WERE LIKE MONDAY'S NOT

  • GOING TO HAPPEN.

  • THAT WAS ON THE SUNDAY.

  • MONDAY'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

  • WEDNESDAY.

  • WE'RE LIKE OKAY, THIS WE CAN DO.

  • GREAT.

  • WE GET PERMITS.

  • WE DO THE THING.

  • ALL THE STUFF.

  • WE THEN TRY TO E-MAIL PEOPLE TO

  • FIND OUT TIMES AND LOGISTICS

  • BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY AS YOU KNOW WE

  • HAVE A SHOW THAT NIGHT.

  • NOTHING.

  • WE'RE HEARING NOTHING FROM

  • ANYONE.

  • WEDNESDAY MORNING 11:00 A.M.

  • SOMEONE SENDS AN E-MAIL SAYING

  • IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY.

  • WE WERE LIKE YEAH, NO [ BLEEP ]

  • IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • AND THEN IT -- IT THEN IT WENT

  • QUIET.

  • AND THEN, AND THIS IS WHERE HE'S

  • BRILLIANT.

  • THIS IS WHERE HE'S BRILLIANT.

  • HE JUST THEN GOES, I WANT TO DO

  • IT ON AN AIRPLANE.

  • AND WE GO, OKAY.

  • GREAT.

  • YEAH.

  • BUT YOU KNOW, WHY NOT?

  • LET'S DO IT ON A SPACESHIP.

  • THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

  • AND TO HIS CREDIT, TO HIS

  • CREDIT, HE AND HIS TEAM --

  • >> Jimmy: HE ALWAYS COMES

  • THROUGH IN THE END.

  • >> GETS THE PLANE.

  • EVEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING THERE, I

  • WAS ON THE PHONE TO MY DAD

  • TELLING MY DAD WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

  • TO DO.

  • AND MY DAD WAS LIKE, THIS IS

  • INCREDIBLE.

  • AND I WAS LIKE, IT COULD BE.

  • BUT I'M STILL -- EVEN AS I

  • WALKED ONTO THE PLANE I THOUGHT

  • AT SOME POINT SOMEONE'S GOING TO

  • GO, YEAH, NO, IT'S NOT GOING TO

  • HAPPEN TODAY.

  • WE'RE GOING TO DO IT TOMORROW.

  • AND THERE HE WAS.

  • AND I HAVE TO SAY, OF ALL THE

  • THINGS WE'VE DONE ON THE SHOW,

  • AND I CONSIDER SO MANY THINGS

  • WE'VE DONE TO HAVE BEEN AN

  • ABSOLUTE PRIVILEGE, LIKE BEING

  • ON THAT PLANE SURROUNDED BY THAT

  • CHOIR SITTING WITH HIM, AND HE

  • WAS IN A GREAT PLACE AND IN THE

  • BEST MOOD, I WILL NEVER, EVER

  • FORGET WHAT THAT CHOIR SOUNDED

  • LIKE ON THAT AIRPLANE.

  • IT WAS AN ASTONISHING THING.

  • AND I REALLY THOUGHT THIS IS A

  • ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME THING THAT I

  • WILL NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO --

  • I'LL NEVER, EVER FORGET IT.

  • IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT.

  • >> Jimmy: DID YOU TURN YOUR LIFE

  • OVER TO JESUS?

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT?

  • I WAS CLOSE.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> Jimmy: WE'LL WORK ON IT IN

  • THE COMMERCIAL.

  • >> I WAS CLOSE.

  • >> Jimmy: JAMES CORDEN IS HERE.

  • HE'S IN "CATS."

  • WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

  • JAMES CORDEN IS HERE.

  • HE'S IN THE MOVIE "CATS."

  • I HAVE A STILL OF YOU AS ONE OF

  • THE CATS.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • BE HONEST.

  • WAS THIS A NIGHTMARE TO GET INTO

  • THIS HAIR AND ALL OF THIS STUFF?

  • >> NO, NO, NO.

  • THIS IS ALL COMPUTER GENERATED.

  • SO EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FUR IS

  • ADDED BY A COMPUTER.

  • IT'S TECHNOLOGY THAT'S NEVER,

  • EVER BEEN USED IN A FILM BEFORE.

  • >> Jimmy: I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

  • IS YOUR BEARD REAL?

  • >> THIS IS REAL.

  • >> Jimmy: THAT'S REAL.

  • HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH

  • IS WHICH?

  • IS THAT REALLY COMPUTER

  • GENERATED?

  • >> EVERYTHING.

  • SO WHEN YOU SHOOT THE FILM ALL

  • YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE A COMPUTER

  • SORT OF BAND AROUND YOUR HEAD,

  • YOU HAVE DOTS ALL OVER YOUR

  • FACE, AND THEN I WAS IN LIKE A

  • HUGE SORT OF -- BECAUSE MY CAT'S

  • A VERY, VERY FAT CAT.

  • AND AS YOU CAN TELL, I AM

  • INCREDIBLY IN SHAPE.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • SO I WAS IN A BIG SORT OF ROUND

  • CGI SUIT THAT'S ALSO COVERED IN

  • DOTS.

  • AND THEN UNDER THAT YOU HAVE A

  • SUIT WITH THESE COMPUTERS.

  • SO SOMETIMES THERE WERE LIKE 50

  • PEOPLE IN A SHOT ALL BEING CATS,

  • ALL JUST WITH DOTS ALL OVER

  • THEM, AND THEN EVERYTHING'S

  • BEING BEAMED TO 50 COMPUTERS AND

  • THEN THEY ADD ALL THE FUR, THE

  • EARS, THE TAIL, EVERYTHING.

  • IT'S QUITE EXTRAORDINARY.

  • >> Jimmy: IT SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE

  • THAT THEY COULD DO THAT.

  • IT SEEMS ALMOST LIKE YOU DIDN'T

  • NEED TO BE IN THE MOVIE IN A

  • WAY.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> THAT'S CERTAINLY ONE WAY OF

  • LOOKING AT IT, JIMMY, YEAH.

  • IT'S A WEIRD -- LOOK, THE WHOLE

  • THING, I HAVE TO SAY, I HAD

  • THE -- AS GOOD A TEN DAYS' WORK

  • AS I'VE EVER ENJOYED BEING WITH

  • TOM HOOPER AND EVERYBODY, WHO

  • DIRECTED THE MOVIE.

  • I JUST LOVED IT.

  • BUT WE HAD LIKE ONE DAY WHICH

  • WAS ME, TAYLOR SWIFT, REBEL

  • WILSON, IDRIS ELBA, SIR IAN

  • McKELLAN AND JUDI DENCH ALL

  • SHOOTING A SCENE TOGETHER.

  • NOW, THAT IN ITSELF IS QUITE

  • EXTRAORDINARY.

  • THEN WHEN YOU ADD THE LAYER OF

  • EVERYBODY PRETENDING TO BE A

  • CAT, YOU REALLY CAN'T HELP BUT

  • FEEL YOU'RE ON SOME KIND OF

  • HALLUCINOGENIC -- YOU'RE LIKE

  • LOOKING AT JUDI DENCH AND SHE'S

  • LIKE -- AND YOU'RE LIKE THIS

  • IS --

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • >> Jimmy: SHE DOESN'T USUALLY DO

  • THAT.

  • >> YOU REALLY THINK FOR A LONG

  • TIME, ARE WE BEING PUNKED?

  • IS THIS REAL?

  • >> Jimmy: MAY I ASK YOU ABOUT

  • ANOTHER THING?

  • GAVIN AND STACEY, THIS IS A SHOW

  • THAT REALLY MADE YOU FAMOUS IN

  • THE UK.

  • [ APPLAUSE ]

  • >> OH, YEAH.

  • >> Jimmy: AND THAT SHOW WENT OFF

  • THE AIR IN WHAT, 2010?

  • >> MY FRIEND RUTH JONES AND I,

  • WE WROTE THE SHOW, YEAH, ABOUT

  • SOMETHING WE DON'T REALLY KNOW

  • ABOUT HERE EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW

  • YOU.

  • >> WELL, THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF

  • AMERICA DOESN'T UNDERSTAND, IS

  • THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER COUNTRIES.

  • [ LAUGHTER ]

  • THEY'RE ALL DOING STUFF.

  • IT'S AN AMAZING -- I SOMETIMES

  • HAVE TO REMIND THE TEACHERS IN

  • MY SON'S SCHOOL, LIKE YOU KNOW

  • THERE'S OTHER STUFF GOING ON.

  • >> Jimmy: WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW

  • ABOUT IT.

  • >> YOU THOUGHT YOUR PRESIDENT,
