<P> Tom Hanks and Mila Kunis were Corden's first guests on March 23, 2015, for the debut episode featuring Corden and Hanks acting and singing their way through a retrospective of Hanks' career . Later, after a prompt by Hanks, Corden appeared to score a coup by getting Mila Kunis to admit that she and Ashton Kutcher are married, but a source later claimed she was merely joking . The episode scored 1.66 million viewers, the show's biggest Monday rating in more than three years . </P> <P> First - run episodes aired every weeknight through the May 2015 sweeps period; then, beginning the week of May 25, the show scaled back its production schedule to four first - run episodes per week (differing from the previous iterations of the program, which produced Friday episodes, either the day of broadcast or farther in advance on the tape date of the Thursday edition), with the Friday episode consisting of a rebroadcast of a recent episode, as has become common with several other late - night talk shows (with the exception of The Late Show and The Tonight Show, which continue to produce first - run episodes on that night, and many airing on cable, which almost universally do not air episodes on Fridays at all). Even with Corden's debut week, Late Night with Seth Meyers still beat The Late Late Show in the ratings during the 12: 35 a.m. time slot, with Meyers continuing to dominate that slot on a weekly basis . </P> <P> The May 20, 2015 episode, which followed the finale of Late Show with David Letterman, was the highest rated episode of The Late Late Show in the history of the franchise with an audience of 4 million viewers and a rating of 2.5., despite starting 20 minutes late due to Letterman's show running over its scheduled end time . The episode featured Corden and Sting outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater singing "Every Breath You Take" in the show's cold open and a monologue with a Top Ten List among other tributes to Letterman . </P> <Ul> <Li> Carpool Karaoke, a segment in which James and musical guests sing along to their songs whilst driving on a planned route usually in Los Angeles . Corden explained that the segment was inspired by a Gavin & Stacey - themed sketch he had participated in for the British charity television special Red Nose Day 2011, in which he sang along with George Michael in a car, stating that "Ben Winston and I always thought there was something very joyful about someone very, very famous singing their songs in an ordinary situation . We just had this idea: Los Angeles, traffic, the carpool lane--maybe this is something we could pull off ." The segments, which have featured artists such as Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Take That, Chris Martin, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Stevie Wonder, One Direction, Adele, Demi Lovato, Mariah Carey, Sia, Harry Styles, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, have proven popular as viral videos on the Late Late Show's YouTube channel . A Carpool Karaoke segment featuring Adele reached 42 million views within 5 days, making it the most viral video originating from a late night program since 2013 . The Adele segment has received over 157 million views as of May 2017 . A segment featuring the then First Lady Michelle Obama (eventually joined by Missy Elliott singing "This is for My Girls") was released on July 20, 2016, and has reached over 55 million views as of May 2017 . On March 29, 2016, CBS aired a primetime special featuring highlights of the segment, and a new edition with Jennifer Lopez . The special would win a 2016 Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special . </Li> </Ul>
