Adele - The Final Carpool Karaoke

three right so it's really really early in the morning and it's the last week of The Late Late Show so I'm going to wake James up I'm driving Julia will kill me [Music] all right come on last week of shows I'm going to drive you to work let's do the final carpool oh my God [Applause] I'm actually not really in the makeup actually not a brilliant driver so I know you're not a brilliant person I'm well aware of this I also can't sing without clothes in my eyes so oh well this is going to be great I can't believe you're doing this Do You Know the Way I Do by the way all right I can't believe we just pulled out of your drive and it crashed the last couple I'm excited and scared in equal measure I don't know it's been a crazy eight years yeah in one sense it feels like it's gone like that and then another sense I feel like I don't really remember what life I don't know I've never lived in La without you guys so I'm like a bit nervous about it to be honest with you and obviously very very sad very close to that car I don't know how much it's how I normally Drive I know you just just let just give yourself a bit of a ego you've also got Precious Cargo I'm driving and also I know that if I crash you'll keep it [Laughter] [Applause] bringing me at the dark [Music] me thinking that we almost had it all the songs [Music] [Applause] you'll have my heart inside [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we could have had you Heroes [Music] [Music] [Music] oh come on that was great having worked with so many I'm incredibly discomfortable I got it I got it I got it I got it let me let me just you hold the wheel okay you hold the wheel and you just there we go when you decided to take the job what were you most afraid of at first the thing I was most worried about was how do we get guests on the show do you know I mean we couldn't book anyone and then things like carpool I mean no one would do it every one on planet Earth said no but then suddenly Mariah Carey said yes so we're like buzzing and she goes we'll do it on Saturday I'll scrub around we get there we do it we turn up we're obviously waiting around a little bit Mariah comes out and Mariah comes out and the first thing she says to me she goes I'll I'll do the chat I ain't singing okay and I looked at Gabe and I went what am I going to do and he went dude [Music] I don't know how to change the radio station we can [Laughter] you want to just are you ready come on today I was up all night [Music] what was the couple that surprised you most because there's been some bloody brilliant ones and a few ones obviously but one of the ways that genuinely surprised you there's been ones throughout which you've checked like Stevie Wonder changed it a lot because I think when he did it yeah other artists were like icons well if Stevie Wonder's done it I'll do it you know and I think him calling Jules to ah say I just called to say I love you it's like a real moment yeah are you ready Julia [Music] our one because it broke all of those records yeah I think seeing how many people watch that made artist like Bruno and Gaga and people like that go oh hang on a minute yeah yeah absolutely I'll do this [Music] when did we do the last carpool what year was it it was December 2015. and then we almost got you on the show almost oh you want to talk about that it looked I think it's quite funny let's explain this so you as long as we've been friends I've always said you could never prank me no one could ever prank me I'm I'm unprankable yes he's like I can't be pranked and then I remember you saying to me I'd love someone to try and I it was after you to David after we did the David Beckham one that was so good and I set up this whole thing and when you say it out loud now it's so ridiculous that there was a wild bear on the loose and we'd flown this animatronic bear from Canada the worst thing was you got there early I'm always early yeah the real news channel we had the real news we've got Gail King to record the news breaking news morning a 600 pound bear escaped from L.A County Zoo and the eyes as you were being interviewed and then Park Rangers was flying and you'd be like oh my God and obviously we haven't told any of your team because we don't want them to feel compromised and hide anything and things like that yeah and your assistant spots this tiny camera that's hidden on a shelf and we're all going oh my God no and he runs out of course to me and tells you and you were like I'm being inspired I'm being spied on and I said who owns this house and then we go downstairs I'm not happy about this but we go downstairs and then there's like another room that I need to wait in and I go in as every piece of merchanted of me I think we have a fan oh my God and then we were like the game's up she's uncomfortable she's uncomfortable [Applause] she's unprankable she cannot be pranks foreign [Applause] [Music] [Music] please [Music] [Applause] come on [Applause] let's do another song well hang on before we do this one but this song is very special to both of us well I just saw that it's on there yeah I am and I don't know how much you wanted we'd have to talk a lot about it but the first verse of this song which I think is some of my best writing that I've ever done even if I do say so myself um was inspired by a conversation that you and I had had and it was like the 4th of January or something of 2020. we just and we've been on vacation together with the kids and we're on our way home and my mood had changed and um and it was like the first year that I felt like I had to hold myself accountable um for just being an adult whereas the year before that where I like you know I left Simon and stuff like that that you and Jules and the kids were so integral in looking after me and Angela making sure that I didn't I remember you used to do it with humor as well you used to be like good luck with that one like you know in any like sort of thing I was pursuing and stuff like that and then you were always so you were like always an adult to me like you and Julia are very much and you'd always give me this advice so then I remember I said to you on the way home I said what's wrong I was like you just sitting down and you let it all out to me and you just you didn't feel stronger and we were having what a six hour conversation about it was like the whole way home it was work staff and the internet and it was all those things but then it got me thinking I felt so unsafe with you feeling unsafe because you've always been that you have for like since I was like 21 you've always been like that like you know and then I went to the studio a couple of weeks later and I wrote this and I remember I sang it into my phone and I sent it to you and I do remember you saying that's exactly how I was feeling it was everything that I was feeling that day I was flawed by how you'd managed to take everything that I was feeling about myself and life and just put it in a verse and it was I don't know I I it's the greatest privilege that from something from a conversation so just honest between two friends yeah that you would create such a thing that blows my mind well if you listen to the song I wrote about you then oh oh it will make me cry no I know every time I sing this song in Vegas I think of you I love these lyrics as well amazing how come on becomes so bounded by choice is that somebody else makes how come we both become a version of a person we don't even like we're in love with the world but the world she just wants to bring us down ideas when there was a child every single thing could blow my mind [Music] soaking it all out for fun but now I only soak a wine [Music] listen I know how low I can go ahead [Music] hey open time [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] trying to be somebody else [Music] [Applause] [Music] I better believe me [Music] [Applause] [Music] that song man it's just so good let me ask you about this when we did the last couple yeah you were a Oscar winner yep you were obviously a Grammy winner yeah he subsequently won an Emmy for your TV special yeah which means you are one Tony Award away yes from you now have the ego yeah yeah what we're going to do here what's what we thinking I really don't think that that is ever gonna happen um I would never write a music or anything like that because you hate musicals people know how much you hate me no I don't think I've ever said that much I hate like respect The Artful absolutely I just don't need to hear everything in a song all the time like you know I also think the ego suits me better don't tell me not to live [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for all I want is here [Applause] I believe [Music] yes [Applause] I've been doing that eight times oh my God who we left it all out there you see how much I love you I keep feeling like I'm completely great and then I keep thinking oh this is the last this is the last this is the last coffee okay what are we gonna do it's a lot what will you miss most about the show I'll miss I miss everything I think I underestimated how many friends I've made doing it and it's like a family so more than anything I will just miss going into work with my friends every day and I'm Really Gonna Miss Los Angeles yeah I love it here it's been a brilliant Adventure but it's it's I'm just so certain that it's time for us as a family with people getting older and people that we miss it's just it's time to uh it's time to go home this is when we first met this song that's right foreign [Laughter] [Music] just wondering [Music] there's CBS I told you I was taking it I know and this is my last ever time that I'll do this and then it's blowing my mind that you've done this for me you're one of my best friends in the whole world and you are mine I'm gonna miss you I love you and you we have had the best times here and oh my God we really have our our friendship and our family's friendship is absolutely not it has nothing to do with distance I know and time I'm just not ready to come back yet otherwise I won't come back with you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I love you so much I love you too craziest thing I'm going to see you tomorrow [Applause] this is The Late Late

I'm surprised they didn't sing Easy on Me and Oh My God, the two well promoted singles off the era. But not complaining, I Drink Wine has become my favorite and we got that!

Also, how I wish to be on the backseat screaming my heart out with her 😫

[u/valyriaed]

I Drink Wine is one of my favorite Adele songs, so she really made me like this man for 20 minutes (I even shed a tear).💀

All in all, Carpool Karaoke has truly been a fun and original concept, loved it, and probably will miss it somehow.

I never realized how close they are? This was way more emotional and vulnerable than I thought it would be

[u/BoringStockAndroid]

I need the studio version of Adele singing Don't Rain on My Parade like right now. Her version of Etta James' Fool That I Am is one of my fav covers of all time.

I was at the James Corden taping last week. He filmed his reactions with us as the live audience. So we were there for the filming with Lisa kudrow and billy porter, and then we were a part of a bunch of fill in scenes and reaction scenes for the finale.

He is definitely acting- looked very impatient and overall bored during the taping. Didn’t address the crowd much. When it was done- he just left without saying anything. This is after we were kept almost an hour later than originally anticipated (clapping our asses off for him, as we were instructed to).

[u/Junior-Artist]

Adele is just an amazing person and even when she’s down, she’s a ray of light. I actually felt so moved by this — it’s rare to see James being honest with himself and I’m happy that being friends with Adele brings that out of him.

[u/Acheli]

This felt more real, like it wasn't just for entertainment value.

[u/Iwillgiveyouplacebo]

Ok, what are the worst Carpool Karaoke episodes? Now I’m intrigued

[u/eternallatake]

Adele's lip smack tic got to an extreme level at this point 😭 Did she always have this or did it come with the 30 era? I never watched her old interviews before 30 so I don't know
