James Corden is definitely the man we all want as our Uber driver.
The Late Late Show and 2016 Tony Awards host has become more famous for his Carpool Karaoke segments than for his actual talk series, and which good reason: They’re awesome.
In recent months, guests have included Adele, One Direction, Sia, Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas and Lin-Manuel Miranda, the star and creator of Broadway’s hottest ticket, Hamilton, who have all showcased their singing chops while driving around with Corden.
Check out the best Carpool Karaoke moments.
Hamilton‘s Lin-Manuel Miranda, Audra McDonald, Jane Krakowski and Jesse Tyler Ferguson: The Hamilton star and creator and Corden belted out his musical’s signature song before they were joined by the Tony winner and TV stars and stage performers to perform a medley of Broadway hits, which included tracks from Rent and Les Miserables.
Many viewers have deemed this Carpool Karaoke segment to be one of the best, if not the best, of all time.
“The microphones could barely accommodate the vocal capacity in this vessel of pure audio bliss,” one YouTube commentator wrote.
Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas: The two touring buddies sang their own hits with Corden and were grilled about their love lives.
Gwen Stefani, George Clooney and Julia Roberts: Stefani and Corden were joined by the two surprise guests in a Carpool Karaoke segment that aired in May and sang some of the singer’s hits as well as a popular Queen song. She also talked about her relationship with The Voice co-star Blake Shelton.
Elton John He and Corden performed a medley of his biggest hits, including a Lion King song.
One Direction: Best moment ever of the 1D ride along? When Corden shocked the boys by hitting a surprising high note on “Best Night Ever.” Corden’s got pipes.
Carrie UnderwoodWhen Corden was joined by the singer, he said he needed some help getting more into the country music scene. The look on her face while helping him try on cowboy boots was amazing.
Justin Bieber again: The singer has appeared a few times on the segment. During one appearance, the duo had a blast busting out body roll dance moves and dressing each other in new swag, but it was their beautiful duet during Alanis Morissette‘s “Ironic” that really stayed with us. Who knew it was one of the Biebs’ favorite songs?
Jason Derulo Before taking over a star tour, the singer and Corden made a parking lot pit stop so Corden could pick up some new dance moves, including the dab. Turns out both guys have some fancy footwork to show off.
Stevie Wonder Corden found himself in tears when the legendary singer serenaded the TV show host’s wife on the phone. Talk about brownie points with the missus!
A$ AP Rocky: We didn’t see this cameo coming during the carpool karaoke with rock legend with Rod Stewart. Luckily, Rod skipped spitting bars and stuck to the chorus for this one.
Iggy Azalea Corden took the bride-to-be wedding dress shopping, and he got in on the fun too, of course. Can we nominate the late-night host for maid of honor?
Justin Bieber The singer is no stranger to carpooling with Corden. In his first appearance, the pop star took a break from belting out tunes to show off his Rubik’s Cube skills. Consider us impressed.
Jennifer Hudson Watching the singer belt out Corden’s fast food order proved she can literally make everything amazing. Diet Coke never sounded so sweet.
Mariah Carey The singer’s fake out on Corden cracked us up even more than her love for randomly doing accents. The diva went from “I’m not singing today, I was up all night” to immediately bursting out in song. Oh, Mimi. Never change.
Now, if we can be so bold, we have a few carpool karaoke requests:
We want to see Corden spit some bars with Jay Z, get some life advice from Drake and we also imagine Taylor Swift would be down for doing random good deeds for passersby—can we fit her entire squad in one SUV?
And once we get that new Rihanna album we’ve been waiting for, we think a ride with Corden would be the perfect way to celebrate.
