'Sexy medley of songs': Craig Robinson and James Corden showcase their smooth singing voices on The Late Late Show
Craig Robinson was a former music teacher who now also gets to play one on his new show Mr Robinson.
The 43-year-old comedian showed he also has an amazing real-life singing voice as he belted out a medley of old tunes on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
The Office star and the 36-year-old British host - who has previously showed off his own amazing vocal talents on previous episodes - both sat at the piano to perform what Craig called 'a sexy medley of songs'.

And as they took on soul, gospel and rock versions of the well-known songs, the duo also took it in turns as they showed off incredibly polished vocals.
Corden had joked that Robinson wanted it to be current hits - but his show could not afford to pay royalties on such songs.
'As a 12.30 show we have a 12.30 music budget - literally it's 12 dollars and 30 cents,' Corden joked.

'So instead we are going to perform our favorite, sexy, sultry, swinging, 100 percent free, public domain classics.'
They started playing what appeared to be a sexy soul classic - until the lyrics gave it away as Mary Had A Little Lamb.
'With a song that timeless who needs Kanye, right?' James asked.

Craig replied: 'Man, Kanye WISH he could write a song about lamb that good.'
After a rocking version of For He's A Jolly Good Fellow, they then went into a full-on funk - turning out to be The Wheels On The Bus.
'That's some hard-ass funk, my friend. That is satisfying!' Corden said - leaving Robinson to start singing The Rolling Stones' classic Satisfaction.

But the host cut him off a few lines in, saying: 'No, no no! That song is very much not public domain! That's our whole budget gone in an instant.'
Instead, they broke into a psychedelic version of She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain.
Robinson pretended to get emotional as he introduced their last number 'about a friend of mine who never, ever gave up, even when it seemed like the world was going against him'.
They then went into a powerful gospel version of Itsy Bitsy Spider, with Corden particularly impressive as he hit powerful high notes and danced as if in church.
Having fun: The television stars certainly got into their performances
Robinson admitted that his new show, Mr Robinson, was clearly based on his own pre-acting life as a teacher.
'I was a music teacher in Chicago, my real band is on the show, The Nasty Delicious, and Meagan Good plays my love interest - and I have a crush on Meagan Good in real life,' he said of the similarities.
Of his teaching days, he said: 'The first thing they ever tell you is, ''Don't smile''. Then I smiled and they ate me.'
New show: Craig was shown in a clip from his new sitcom Mr Robinson that debuted earlier this month on CBS
On the couch: Neil Patrick Harris joined James and Craig after their performance
He was joined on the chat show by Neil Patrick Harris, 42, who pretended there was a rift between them after Craig viewed his house that was for sale - but never bought it.
'Here's my question: what the f***?' Harris asked him as Corden started laughing.
Harris spoke about the huge backlash he got for hosting the Oscar's - and admitted he would probably have been just as harsh himself.
Oscars host: Neil talked about hosting the Oscars earlier this year
'I realized as I was doing it that when I watch the Oscars and I'm not involved, you sit there and you just make fun of everything,' he said.
'You say, “That's the joke you came up with?” “She wore that dress, really?”
'So the karmic repercussions of that when you're on the other side of it makes it different. But it's an unbelievable gig - a gazillion people watch it,' he said.
Goofing around: The How I Met Your Mother star pretended to be levitating at the start of the show
Harris said the hardest part was making jokes about films many in the audience hadn't seen, such as Birdman and Boyhood.
The actor also admitted getting freaked out watching old episodes of himself acting in Doogie Howser, MD.
He noted that his voice sounds 'weird' and so high 'like The Wizard of Oz or something'.

'But finally my testicles dropped and I feel much better,' he said.
As the band made a drum noise to accentuate his joke, Corden quipped: 'That was the second ball dropping right there.'
Then looking at the actor and then his crotch he added: 'There's Neil - and there's Patrick and Harris.'
