1. James Corden isn't actually driving during Carpool Karaoke

No, Virginia, there is not a Santa Claus — and also, James Corden is not actually driving during Carpool Karaoke. This shocking revelation comes from photos taken by fans during the filming of an upcoming Carpool Karaoke episode with Justin Bieber, which revealed that the car Corden is "driving" is actually being pulled down the street by a larger truck. The helping hand enables Corden to focus on his singing instead of, you know, driving carefully enough to ensure he doesn't end up in the news for getting into a six-car pileup with Lady Gaga in the passenger seat.
