James Cordenwould rather tell the truth aboutKanye Westthan eat a 1,000-year-old egg.
OnThe Late Late Show with James Corden, the host, 39, played a round of Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts withKris Jenner, 62. When Jenner asked him why herson-in-lawKanye West, 41, had never appeared onCarpool Karaoke,Corden said that West had canceled on him — costing the show $45,000 in the process.
“Oh, I can answer this easily. This is a great question for me,” Corden said, opting to respond rather than consume a gross food. “We’ve tried. He’s canceled twice. Maybe even three times.”
Corden continued, “He did send me a lovely gift. He sent me these incredible flowers in a cube… and he sent mea pair of Yeezys. And people were like, ‘Whoa, they’re so expensive.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, they cost my show $45,000.’ ”
The host holds out hope that West will reconsider. “He’s my dream,” Corden said. “He knows that. He’s my absolute dream.”
A number of famous musicians have participated in Carpool Karaoke in the past, includingPaul McCartney,Shawn Mendes, Kelly Clarkson, Pink and Miley Cyrus.

In June, Cordentold PEOPLE’s editor-in-chief Jess Cagleabout the origin of the fun segment, explaining, “When you’re putting together a show like this, you’re searching for the tentpoles that might prop up your show. So we came up with this thing, we’re in L.A., people are talking about the traffic and how they get to work.”
Corden continued, “I remember that conversation with myself and Ben, the executive producer of the show. He was saying, ‘Maybe there’s a way in which someone could help get to work,’ and Ian Carmel said, ‘In the carpool lane.’ I said, ‘Carpool Karaoke.’ And we all just went, ‘Okay, that’s it!'”
