lIn one of the most unexpected and entertaining Carpool Karaoke segments ever aired, Rod Stewart joined James Corden on The Late Late Show in 2015, and mid-way through the ride, surprise guest A$AP Rocky jumped into the backseat, creating a legendary moment of music, fun, and laughter. The segment began with Corden picking up Stewart, who was dressed in a leopard-print jacket and sunglasses, exuding his classic rock star vibe.
They sang along to some of Stewart’s biggest hits, including “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” “Maggie May,” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” with Stewart sharing wild stories from his rock ‘n’ roll days, like trashing hotel rooms and partying with Elton John. Just as things were getting wild, A$AP Rocky suddenly appeared, casually sliding into the backseat and surprising everyone. The trio then performed “Everyday” and “Problems,” with Rocky rapping while Stewart playfully nodded along, even chiming in with some lines. Corden was clearly thrilled, laughing and dancing behind the wheel.
The chemistry between the suave British rock legend and the cool Harlem rapper was surprisingly natural, creating a blend of eras and genres that fans loved. Behind the scenes, the segment became a viral hit, with fans praising the unexpected pairing and Rod Stewart calling it one of his favorite TV moments.
It was a fun, unforgettable ride that showed how music can unite generations and styles with joy and spontaneity.
