James Corden has known to be an actor, writer, producer, comedian, television host and singer.  He has been the host of The Late, Late Show with James Corden, a late-night television talk show on CBS.

However, it has been challenge to a person of being a James Corden. It is definitely difficult to conceive as the English actor and hosting like him in a Carpool Karaoke series. Aside from being the host of The Late, Late Show, Corden has come from the original segment on the series. He has been indestructible to its fame and recognition, cited E! News.

Apple Music's first portion of the original program with its development as an own independent series, has faced quite tough task to do at hand, which was to look for someone to be as Corden (Corden's inevitable schedule makes him busy handling his own series).

On the 2017 Winter TCA Press Tour throughout the Carpool Karaoke's first and foremost panel, Corden and co-executive producers Ben Winston and Eric R. Pankowski have disclosed that it would not be somebody who will take behind the wheel but somebodies in behalf of Corden's nonattendance.

Winston unveiled that they will be doing 16 distinct episodes, thus they are going to have 16 distinctive hosts. This would be done before launching into a hissing twist, added Winston. The twist would then give the journalists their first glances to a smatter of the pairing that viewers anticipated to see.

Though not the full list of hosts and guests has been given the teaser divulged the appearances of the following pairs: John Legend and Alicia Keys (with a special appearance from Taraji P. Henson), Ariana Grande and Seth MacFarlane, Billy Eichner and Metallica, Blake Shelton and Chelsea Handler and Will Smith with no other than the original host himself, Corden.

When Pankowski has been asked of the reason which made the producer to decide not to land on a single host, he explained that they have talked about it a lot from the start. The producer iterated, "Really, it was a pretty quick decision because the truth is, what James does is so special and so singular and unique, that it was silly to try to replicate that and duplicate that."

Regarding on how come they landed celebrity pairing, Corden casted some enlightenment on the process. He said that usually it goes that way. Furthermore, the host-producer said that in many cases celebrities come almost at the same time to inquire for schedule and time. Thus, it just suddenly crossed into his mind to figure out of a pair.

Moreover, during the panel the host explained to a group of reporters saying that he wished that they were in position where they could go, it may be him or her. Basically, these people were engrossed of doing it. Just like the case of Chelsea Handler and Blake Shelton, they both arrived and expressed they would love to do it together. Thus, we have thought that it was a good idea. Consequently, the host found the paring a little bit of everything, said Blabber Buzz.

The most awaited end result of the show has remained whether fans would go along on a Carpool Karaoke ride without the original host, Corden behind the wheel.

Later this year, all 16 half-hour episodes of Carlpool Karaoke  will be launched exclusively on Apple Music.
