The 'Late Late Show' host was born to be an interviewer!
Long before he was singing "Carpool Karaoke" with first lady Michelle Obama, James Corden was just an up-and-coming young showbiz reporter!
In honor of the Late Late Show host's 38th birthday on Monday, BBC Archive tweeted out a video of his very first TV appearance, which happened to be a 1995 interview with musician Meat Loaf during a young talent takeover of an old BBC1 morning show called Good Morning with Anne and Nick.
