The first episode of the Carpool Karaoke TV series is now available – and it’s off to a bang by the looks of it.
The spin-off series from James Corden’s Late Late Show, which is streaming exclusively on Apple Music, has kicked off with Will Smith taking the hotseat and belting out a few of his famous hits, including one with an unexpected accompaniment and revealing that he spoke to Barack Obama about playing him in a movie.

A new episode will debut on Apple Music every Tuesday – the series trailer is below:
