To avoid being ignored, James Corden rang the bell at the second home and said it was pizza delivery. He opened the door and they went upstairs.

Then he said, “Can’t we just change our minds? Is it too late for Carpool Karaoke after that?”

The finale is a scene on the roof of the building, where James Corden wears a green dress and then adds special effects.
