Nicki Minaj Kicks Off Carpool Karaoke Return After 2 Year Hiatus

Social distancing is over, according to Corden, and so is his long hiatus

There’s a lot of things that had to change during Covid … including singing at the top of your lungs in a confined space with strangers.

But with the lifting of many pandemic safety protocols, engaging in some up close and personal karaoke is making a comeback.

And no one is happier than Mr James Corden as his popular “Carpool Karaoke” show is officially returning.

The short clip announces that after two years of not being able to sit in a very confined and closed space “social distancing is over,” before revealing Minaj.

Corden also teased another big name being added to the show’s return — Camila Cabello will have her own segment April 18.

Previously, Corden complained to Ellen DeGeneres on her show last summer, “It feels like there’s a whole raft of artists that we are desperate to do it with.”

“We seem to work in the strictest building — maybe on Earth.”

Well, Corden the wait is over.
