James Corden has released an eight minute Youtube video in which his parents cover the Super Bowl 50 event.
Corden’s Parents, Malcolm and Margaret Corden, were instructed with the task of covering the world’s biggest sports event, a sporting weekend that’s surrounded with big name stars and high advertising revenue budgets.
Malcom and Maragret interviewd Coldplay and even got to hold the coveted Lombardi trophy after the game. In the video on YouTube – amongst other mini-assignments – Malcolm was seen asking Coldplay if he could join their band and if they needed another person, before producing a saxophone.
The former RAF musician then began to start playing a tune on the request of Chris Martin.

Corden’s Father can also be seen asking quarterback Peyton Manning why they should support the Broncos.
The American footballer confoundedly said: “We have a great football team, we’ve got some great guys who love to play and play together.”
I the run up to the Super Bowl 50 weekend, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and James Corden sang Coldplay hits and a David Bowie cover in ‘Carpool Karaoke’.
The regular bit appears on Corden’s Late, Late Show and sees a musician or group join Corden in his car as they drive around Los Angeles and sing songs together. Other artists who have appeared on the segment before include Adele, One Direction, Justin Bieber and Rod Stewart.

Corden explains the rules of football before realising he doesn’t know them either while Chris Martin does an impression of Mick Jagger.
During the ride the pair sing Coldplay songs ‘Adventure Of A Lifetime,’ ‘Yellow,’ ‘Viva La Vida,’ ‘Fix You,’ ‘Hymn For The Weekend,’ ‘Paradise,’ and ‘A Sky Full Of Stars.’ They also sing David Bowie’s ‘Heroes.’
