Every so often, though, his other segment’s stand out, this week’s being his spoof of Kanye West’s music video for The Life of Pablo track “Fade”.
Featuring Teyana Taylor dancing in a gym, the video has caught the internet’s attention thanks to its completely bizarre ending, featuring the GOOD Music singer donning cat make-up while surrounded by sheep.
Thankfully, Corden didn’t decide to wear an outfit similar to Taylor’s, instead inserting himself into the video, being typically British and complaining about someone using the gym for dancing rather than lifting weights.
"Sorry, do you mind, because it's sort of a public gym,” the host asks, adding: "I'm sorry, no-one needs that much oil.”
The video comes just days after Corden’s Carpool Karaoke with Britney Spears in which the singer seemed to mime the majority of her lyrics.
