Apples Carpool Karaoke blir annorlunda

Apple har köpt streamingrättigheterna för James Cordens Carpool Karaoke och inledningsvis så troddes det att Corden själv skulle vara med och att upplägget skulle vara detsamma som för de nuvarande inslagen. Nu visar det sig att  Apples version kommer att vara annorlunda med en ny värd varje gång.

Uppgifterna har publicerats av nöjestidningen Variety.

“Carpool Karaoke” started as a bit “Late Late Show” host James Corden translated from Britain’s Comic Relief fundraiser in 2011. In the intervening half-decade, the bit has become a behemoth, leading to an expansion into a half-hour standalone series that will run exclusively on Apple Music.

Apple Music’s “Carpool Karaoke” doesn’t have a release date yet, but it will consist of 16 half-hours, executive producers Eric Pankowski, Ben Winston, and Corden revealed Monday morning at the TCA winter press tour.

Furthermore, the series won’t have a single host in the drivers’ seat. Instead, the trio conceived of a format that is more of an interview series than longer versions of the “Late Late Show” bit, with a different “host” for every episode.

Kombinationerna kommer dessutom att vara annorlunda, Metallica kan tänkas dyka upp liksom andra artister och skpådespelare.

We’re really excited about the pairings we’re putting together,” Corden said. Those pairings include more traditional musical choices like John Legend with Alicia Keys and Seth MacFarlane with Ariana Grande, but also more outside-the-box choices like Billy Eochner in the passenger seat, surrounded by the band Metallica, or former NFL star and talk show host Mochael Strahan with NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon.
