Utter talentless drivel from a complete moron IMHO
What's the Story?
CARPOOL KARAOKE: THE SERIES is an extension of a popular segment featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Each 20-minute segment features pairs of celebrities singing to radio tunes while driving around the Los Angeles area. They sometimes take the time to stop at restaurants, weddings, and laundromats to surprise people, and appearances by local choirs, marching bands, and other talent add to the musical melee.
Is It Any Good?
This fun series offers all the entertainment the late-night segment is famous for in a slightly longer format. From Will Smith and Alicia Keyes to a few Game of Thrones cast members, each installment features lighthearted and funny chats in between sing-a-longs. It also features a few simple special effects and other elements that the late-night segments can't accommodate.
Despite the absence of James Corden from most installments, and the lack of audience laughter and applause, the show still honors the segment concept's simple approach and silly banter. Whether you're familiar with the original late-night segments or not, it's hard not to watch this without smiling. There's also a good chance Carpool Karaoke may inspire you to belt out a tune, and quite possibly make you burst out laughing.
