Apple's Carpool Karaoke Will Consist of 16 Half-Hours, Different Host for Each Episode

Apple Music's 'Carpool Karaoke' will consist of 16 half-hour episodes, executive producers Eric Pankowski, Ben Winston, and James Corden revealed Monday morning.

The series won't have a single host in the drivers' seat; rather, there will be a different host for every episode. It will apparently be more of an interview series than a longer version of the 'Late Late Show' bit.


“We’re really excited about the pairings we’re putting together,” Corden said.

Variety reports that those pairings include more traditional musical choices like John Legend with Alicia Keys and Seth MacFarlane with Ariana Grande, but also more outside-the-box choices like Billy Eichner in the passenger seat, surrounded by the band Metallica, or former NFL star and talk show host Michael Strahan with NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon.

“We wouldn’t do Will Smith on [‘Late Late Show’],” Winston said. “So many people have been getting in touch with us, big movie stars, and we’re like, ‘that’s not really for us,’ but here with Apple Music it’s perfect.”

Cordon is still planning to do the Carpool Karaoke bit on the Late Late Show. More details in the full report linked below...
