Harry Styles and Will Ferrell to be James Corden’s final Late Late Show guests

Harry Styles and Will Ferrell will be the final guests on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’.

Harry has appeared on a number of occasions, and he has even filled in for his pal James as guest host several times. One of the first times he appeared on the programme was in 2015 as part of One Direction when he lost a game of “Tattoo Roulette” and received a tattoo of the show’s logo on his arm. Styles was most recently seen on the big screen in features Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman.

‘Spirited’ movie star Will’s upcoming appearance brings James’ show full circle, as the Hollywood actor was one of his first guests when the show launched in March 2015.

Back in 2019, Ferrell performed a sketch, originally written for Styles, that was cut for time on SNL.

In it, a group of girls at the mall, played by Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, and Kate McKinnon, lust after English Kevin (Ferrell), the hot English teen who transferred to their school. English Kevin has a body that’s “smooth and young like a baby seal, but with abs” and “sings like an angel and dances like the devil himself.” With fake tattoos and a fake accent, Ferrell wore Styles’ clothes and sang One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.”

Ferrell is a three-time Emmy winner who recently exec produced and starred opposite Paul Rudd in the Apple TV+ series The Shrink Next Door. He’s set to star with Reese Witherspoon in Nick Stoller’s wedding comedy You’re Cordially Invited for Amazon Studios. He’ll next be seen in Apple’s musical comedy Spirited with Ryan Reynolds and Octavia Spencer, Josh Greenbaum’s comedy Strays for Universal and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie for Warner Bros., among other projects.

Bosses of ‘The Late Late Show’ recently played down speculation that One Direction would be appearing in James’ finale episode, but insisted there is an “absolutely brilliant” two-hour ep to come.

A tweet on ‘The Late Late Show’ Twitter account read: “Nobody loves the boys more than us … but this story just isn’t true.

What is true is we’ve got an absolutely brilliant 2 hour finale planned to celebrate 8 years of #LateLateShow at 10pm on April 27th. (sic)”

Whilst Harry Styles and Will Ferrell will take a seat on the couch for the final episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden. Stars including Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis, Seth Meyers, Kate Hudson, Bryan Cranston, Billy Porter and Sharon Stone are all rumoured to be appearing in James’ final episode, and Adele is expected to be one of James’ final ‘Carpool Karaoke’ guests.
