If you ever make plans with Kanye West, you'd better be prepared for him to cancel on you. A lot.
During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, James Corden broke down exactly how difficult it was to organise the recent Airpool Karaoke episode – and how many misfires it took before the whole thing came together.
"This was actually the third time that we had tried to do a sort of Carpool Karaoke with Kanye," explains Corden. "The first time he agreed and then he cancelled a few days later, and you're like, 'Well, that's a shame, but it's fine.' The second time that Kanye cancelled Carpool Karaoke was so late in the day that I was driving up his road in the car, with all the cameras, and got this phone call saying it's been cancelled... and I think I basically turned around outside his house and drove back to the studio."
Eventually, Corden got a random text on a Saturday afternoon from West himself, saying he wanted to do an episode with his whole choir on a bus – and he wanted to film it that same Monday.
Cue a couple more cancellations, a switch from a bus to a plane, and ultimately an "astonishing" experience Corden says he'll never forget.
At least it was worth it in the end.
