The cast of Friends delighted fans as they performed the sitcom’s famous theme song during a surprise appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
The British presenter, 42, hosted the Friends reunion special last month and gave viewers more footage with the six cast members on his talk show on Wednesday night.
The segment began with James driving a cart around the Warner Bros lot, picking up David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry as they reflected on the reunion.
With the scene set, James couldn’t help but kick-off an impromptu Carpool Karaoke – or Cart-pool in this case – as he turned on the Friends’ theme song, I’ll Be There For You by The Rembrandts.

James and the entire cast joyously sang along with the tune, which served as the title music for Friends’ 10 season run.
After finishing the song, Courteney, who played Monica Gellar, excitedly said: “I’ve always wanted to do Carpool Karaoke” while Matthew, who played Chandler Bing, added: “that tune’s catchy”.
The segment also saw James take a tour around the iconic Friends set, visiting Central Perk coffee shop, Chandler and Joey’s apartment as well as Rachel and Monica’s place.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Friends : The Reunion had become Sky One’s most-watched show with a whopping 5.3million viewers tuning in.

The television event also became broadcaster Sky’s most watched programme across live, recorded and downloaded viewing in the last two years.
It is second only to the final series of Game of Thrones for the biggest audience across Sky’s portfolio of entertainment channels.
Friends: The Reunion aired on May 27 and saw the original cast returning to the original set of the show for the first time since they finished their 10-year run in 2004.
Although the actors weren’t in character for the reunion, they did revisit some memories from the show.

During the special, Jennifer and David, who played Rachel Green and Ross Gellar, shared that they “crushed hard” for one another whilst appearing on the hit sitcom.
When asked by host James Corden if there was any romantic connections off-screen, Jennifer looked a little coy as she grinned and said: “Well, errrr I mean, David…” before passing the comment to him.
David continued: “And at some point we were both crushing hard on each other but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship and we never crossed that boundary, we respected that…” before Matt shouted: “Bulls**t!”#

James looked stunned at Matt’s comment and the rest of the cast laughed as he added: “I’m kidding!”
Jennifer then recalled: “I just remember honestly saying one time to David, ‘it’s gonna be such a bummer if the first time you and I actually kiss is gonna be on national television’… sure enough first time we kissed was in that coffee shop!”
The 52-year-old actress continued: “So we just channelled all of our adoration and love for each other into Ross and Rachel.”
Also Matt Leblanc, who played Joey Tribbiani, revealed that a drunken night out was the reason why he bagged his role in Friends.
