Tuesday night’s Late Late Show was jam packed with great entertainment.
Host James Corden was able to squeeze in a great performance with the Backstreet Boys and a hilarious race against the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, all in one episode, ET reports.

It started with Corden talking about the absence of proper boy bands, the ones with “matching outfits, synchronized dancing, and way over budget music videos!”
“We are bringing back boy bands,” Corden declared. “I’m talking proper boy bands – five guys together. I’m talking about the cute one, the funny one, the nice one, the other one, and the maverick who refused to play by the rules, all living together in some weird mansion in Orlando.”
When he brought out one of the most well-known bands, the Backstreet Boys to sing “Backstreet’s Back” the crowd went crazy. Of course, Corden wouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste, he joined the group on stage to sing and dance with them.
After that you would think the show was done, but no, Corden had more up his sleeve. He brought his entire staff (and randomly actor Owen Wilson) in early for a race against Jamaican Olympian Usain Bolt.
After Wilson’s false start the race began and to no surprise Usain won. Corden, however, was upset he was one of the last to finish.
“I would have liked to have been in the top 50, but you know, it wasn’t my day,” the host said. “That is the life of an athlete. That’s the life of a professional track athlete. Some days it comes and some days it doesn’t.”
Now that is how you do a late late show!
