James Corden Takes the Cast of ‘Friends’ for a Ride on New Carpool Karaoke
During the filming of the Friends reunion, James Corden drove the entire cast for a mini Carpool Karaoke ride. On Wednesday night, the segment of the cast singing the show’s theme song “I’ll be there for you” aired on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
At the beginning of the segment, Corden, the host of the Friends reunion and host of The Late Late Show with James Corden, drove through the Warner Bros. studios to reach Stage 24, where the reunion took place. Corden encounters American actresses Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, who ask for a ride on the way there. Eventually, Corden picks up the rest of the cast with Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer to drive on an adventure.

While driving, Corden asked the Friends cast if he could listen to some music, and he unexpectedly turned on the Friends theme song. After hearing the first notes of the song, the cast sung and clapped along with delightful smiles. Punching her fists with excitement, Courteney Cox stated, “I’ve always wanted to do Carpool Karaoke.”
