There was a rumor that was squashed that One Direction was going to reunite to say goodbye to James Corden on his late-night show. Now it looks like that rumor was 20% true, at least one-fifth of the group will be there to bid farewell to the fabulous Jimmy C (He likes it when I call him that).

Not only will ‘One-Fifth Direction’ be making an appearance, but one of the funniest people to walk the earth will also be there to bid adieu, au revoir, sayonara, see you later, and adios to J-Cordy, (He likes it when I call him that).

Harry Styles and Will Ferrell will be the final guests on The Late Late Show with James Corden, which will air its final episode a week from Thursday, April 27 at 12:27 am on CBS.

It makes sense that Harry will be a guest on the final show. Harry was on the show back in 2015, and he lost a game of Tattoo Roulette. Harry had to then have the show’s logo tattooed on his arm.  Also, “Harries” would remember that Mr. Styles also guest-hosted the show a few years ago.

Will Ferrell was one of the show’s first guests, he appeared during its first week, premiere week back in 2015.

And for fans of James’ Carpool Karaoke, also on April 27, a Carpool Karaoke special will air at 10 p.m.

Jennifer Coolidge, Pedro Pascal Among 2023 TIME100 Most Influential People

• Drew Barrymore

  Share

  Her longtime friend and sometimes rom-com co-star, Jimmy Fallon had some nice words to say about Barrymore. He says, "When I say this woman can do anything in the world, I mean, this woman can do anything in the world." She has a beauty line, Flower Beauty, a kitchen appliance line, Beautiful By Drew, and of course, her daytime talk show. Fallon described Drew as someone who sees no limits and actually loves a challenge.

• Ali Wong

  Share

  Wong's 'Always Be My Maybe' co-star Randall Park and her go way back -- to their college days. He says he admires the 'Beef' star's "strong sense of self." Wong is committed to her comedy craft and the people dear to her in life.

• Austin Butler

  Share

  Angela Bassett loved Butler's performance in 'Elvis' and knew he put in so much work into his performance. She said he offered a perspective on the musician so viewers can just see the artist's journey "through a different lens. Austin accomplished this with a brilliantly nuanced performance."
• Aubrey Plaza

  Share

  Plaza's 'Parks and Rec' co-star Amy Poehler called her work over the past decade "acutely truthful and always surprising." She added that Aubrey loves an outsider and roots for the underdog. "She has learned the glorious freedom that comes from not wanting your approval."

• Salma Hayek

  Share

  "Salma is a great observer and feels everything deeply," Penelope Cruz says. "She’s strong yet sensitive, and she can read people very well." The 'Bandidas' co-star is most proud of Hayek always being entirely herself. "As one of the first Latinas working in Hollywood, she’s opened so many doors for people who followed. She is a total revolutionary, and there’s still so much she will do."

• Zoë Saldana

  Share

  Saldaña's 'After Sex' co-star Mila Kunis calls her "the ultimate bada-- in the entertainment industry." Zoe has been a trailblazer for women and people of color in Hollywood, "advocating for greater diversity and representation," Kunis adds.
• Jennifer Coolidge

  Share

  Coolidge's 'The Watcher' co-star Mia Farrow recalls a recent text she sent that is SO Jennifer Coolidge. “Let’s make a video where you and I are beating the sh-- out of each other… Does that seem too desperate???” Of the "national treasure's" recent recognition of her acting work, Farrow is happy people love her "eccentric mannerisms, hilarious improvisations, and, most of all, aching vulnerability."

• Ke Huy Quan

  Share

  Before this year, most people remembered the actor as a boy in 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.' Between the 38-year gap, Tom Hiddleston was in awe of his "triumphant return with his soul-stirring, multiverse-jumping, Oscar-winning performance as Waymond in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.'

• Pedro Pascal

  Share

  The "mommy" to Pascal's "daddy," Sarah Paulson was the perfect person to do his feature. After all, she's known him for 30 years and has his number. She calls him "the whole motherf---ing deal." Sarah assures us that Pascal is everything we hope he is: "powerful, soulful, hilarious, goofy, capable of having the deepest conversations, willing to hold your hair back when you’re sick, and in possession of the broadest shoulders to lean on. He is no figment—he’s real."
• Doja Cat

  Share

  Doja's at the top because she works to bring "everything she does to the highest possible level." She is "creatively plugged in" to the internet, personally connecting with her fans. Most importantly, there’s no “brand” to Doja Cat. "You never know what she’s going to do next."

• Elon Musk

  Share

  Time notes that in 1999, he was just another "Silicon Valley techie with a startup." But he soon distinguished himself when he landed rockets on platforms in the ocean, pioneered the electric-vehicle revolution, and changed how we think about energy in many forms. And of course, these days he owns Twitter. Time called it "a nonstop grievance tantrum we must all endure."

• Natasha Lyonne

  Share

  Not far off from her 'Poker Face' character, Taika Waititi describes Lyonne as someone who is a brilliant liar. "The more you get to know her, the more you realize that spinning tales and telling stories is in her blood."
