James Corden surprises staff member with gloriously awkward game of 'Live Tinder'
Watch Next

Tinder is already horrendously awkward for everyone involved -- but when you make the whole thing an IRL experience, it gets even worse.

During a segment for Wedensday's Late Late Show, James Corden treated one unfortunate staff member to a game of "Live Tinder". It's pretty much how it sounds -- a bunch of guys came out onstage, and the Late Late Show staffer had to decide whether to keep them in the game or swipe them left into a ball pit. She then got to pick one of the final three to go on a date with.

Luckily, despite the high cringe-factor, the whole thing had a happy ending: the date (which took place in a conference room down the hall) clearly went well enough for the lucky guy to be invited back to a Late Late Show holiday party as a plus one.
