James Corden has confirmed it could be a long time before we see his popular Carpool Karaoke segment thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.

The British telly personality shared the news during a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres after she asked: "You have 'Carpool Karaoke' and that seems like that's going to be a long time away, right?"

Corden replied: "I think it'll be a while before we're singing in a car with anybody. Yes. So yeah, we can't really think of a remote way to do it. It really does rely on two people being in close proximity."

Like most TV hosts, Corden has been working from home for the recent episodes of The Late Late Show with James Corden. It hasn't been all fun and games for the host, who admitted to feeling anxious and says he deals with it by thinking to the future.

He added: "I think we're all experiencing those spikes of anxiety. Whenever I find myself getting like that, I just start to think of the day, whenever that may be, when it is safe to go out again and it is safe for you to go out and dance around your audience and it's safe for me to get in a car with someone. I think it's going to be the greatest boom of joy we've ever experienced.

"So, whenever I find myself or me and my wife, or particularly our kids, thinking, 'Oh man. This is tough,' you just go, 'Well, right around the corner there's going to be, I think, a glorious - I have no idea how long away that is, but I think it will be spectacular."'

He also opened up about his homeschooling woes with his kids, admitting that he 'can't do' the homework that is set for his nine-year-old son Max, so he tells him not to worry as he 'won't need any of this in life'.

He joked: "Do you remember when we were in school? Teachers would go, 'Well, what are you going to do when there isn't a calculator around?' And you're like, 'Well, now there is always a calculator around'." Good point well made.
