Corden then teased the original clip before bringing out Yung to recreate his breathtaking rendition. Thanks to the video, James Corden made a decision to help Yung upgrade his performance a bit by flying him out west to The Late Late Show for a true performance in front of the studio audience.

But did he ever expect it to go from social media straight to late night TV? Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, the show has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke. The pair spoke after the performance and Corden asked Yung what the past few days have been like since the video was posted.
“This is something that got me so excited”, Corden said on Wednesday before introducing the viral star.

Yung has multiple videos shared on Youtube of him covering classics like Sam Cooke’s “Change Gonna Come”, accompanied by the band Majestic K Funk; and music from the Chi-Lites.
