Here's the piece for Comic Relief (aka Red Nose Day) which he did back in 2011 with James Corden.
What you need to know is that Corden had been in the sitcom Gavin & Stacey, and played "Smithy", Gavin's know-all best mate. Corden co-wrote the comedy with Ruth Jones. Anyway, the piece is done in character, and while it's not Carpool Karaoke as we've come to know it, it certainly features singing along to the hits in a car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW12S4-KB1I And no, pretty much nobody in the UK will have heard of a similarly named US sports anchor :-) Adam On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 6:26 PM, Kevin M. <drunkbastar...@gmail.com> wrote: > There is an NCIS connection > > https://twitter.com/PauleyP/status/813316060438929408 > http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2d3ei_george-michael- > killer-papa-was-a-ro_music > > On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 10:00 AM, <d...@flids.net> wrote: > >> "American namesake"???
