President Joe Biden joined James Corden’s star-studded final episode of The Late Late Show on Thursday night.
The President didn’t drop by the studio, but instead filmed a short video appreciation of Corden’s eight-year stint on the series from what appeared to be the White House.
During his speech, in which he thanked the 44-year-old host for ‘all the joy you’ve brought to homes across America.’
Biden joined several film and television shows sending Corden off in style, including his old pal Tom Cruise, who performed in the Lion King stage musical with the host during a prime time special, as well as Will Ferrell and Harry Styles in the episode proper.
Corden appeared to be surprised to see a video message from Biden, and he said ‘Stop’ in shock once he saw footage of the White House.

He was so overwhelmed by the honor that he put his head down on his desk as the President began to address him.
Biden congratulated him on his ‘incredible run’ of ‘1200 shows in eight years.’
But then he looked back on Corden’s visit to the White House in 2022, when he played the role of an intern and assistant to Biden.
The hilarious clip showed Corden presenting the President with an edible arrangement of fruits.
‘This… is both a snack… and… a gift,’ he said with overly dramatic pauses as he placed it on the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
‘Who is that guy?’ the President asked with perfect comic timing after Corden stepped out.
In the new clip, Biden ribbed Corden by saying, ‘I’m surprised you lasted eight years at any job!’
The message also included a sweet photo of Corden and his bandleader Reggie Watts, along with a photo of the entire crew on set.
A quick montage featured some of Corden best moments as host, including his sky-diving segment with Tom Cruise, a musical performance in Manhattan with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, the time he presented a horrible bust of David Beckham to the soccer superstar, and a Carpool Karaoke segment in which he wore a too-tight Sgt. Peppers uniform while joined by Paul McCartney.
‘And a special thanks for never asking me to sing in the car,’ Biden added to laughter from the audience over a montage of Carpool Karaoke segments. ‘I can’t sing worth a damn.’
The clip ended with footage from Corden’s previous trip to the White House showing him and Biden both putting on a pair of the President’s preferred aviator sunglasses.
