Look, I'm not trying to be controversial here, but I think it's fair to admit that James Corden has his detractors, as well as his cheerleaders. The Gavin and Stacy star either conquered the US or very much didn't depending on your school of thought, but one undeniable breakout success from his time stateside was Carpool Karaoke.
Beginning as an occasional segment on The Late Late Show with James Corden, it absolutely exploded in popularity and consistently managed to lasso guests of an almost unbelievable calibre, musical or otherwise. Now it's got a holiday special on Apple TV+ (my favourite streaming service), but with one huge change that I can't deny I'm thrilled with – Corden himself isn't in the car.
