The final episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden aired on Thursday, finally bringing an end to eight years of crosswalk concerts and celebrity riff-offs. Of course, the other late night hosts weren't about to let Corden leave without a thorough roasting.

In a five-minute Late Late Show skit, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon formed a coalition of late night hosts to confront their departing peer and demand keep their sacred late show host secrets. They also tried to divide up his segments among themselves, with everyone predictably vying for Carpool Karaoke, while Meyers used his Closer Look segment format to poke fun at Corden's tendency to break into song. Which Corden then proceeded to do.

"You're embarrassing your country," deadpanned Kimmel.

Even a spectacularly bearded David Letterman showed up, while previously-departed former late night host Trevor Noah also made a cameo appearance.
