He's captured the hearts of America since taking over the reins from Craig Ferguson in March.

And it was easy to see why James Corden is raking in the viewers on The Late Late Show following his latest sketch which saw him enlist the talent of Matt Damon, a green screen and a full dressing-up box.

In a new segment, entitled 'Roll Call', James, 37, and Matt, 44, came close to kissing as they reenacted the iconic scene from Behind the Candelabra, involving Matt's character (Scott Thorson) and his love interest Liberace (played by Michael Douglas).

Laugh out loud material: James Corden and Matt Damon came close to kissing as they re-enacted a Behind the Candelabra scene during The Late Late Show's episode on Tuesday

Dressed as the flamboyant piano-player, the British host messed around on a miniature version of the musical instrument which features in the 2013 film.

Matt carefully approached him from behind, gently placing his arms around his waist.

'That was amazing. You're the best pianist in the world,' he said.

The real deal: Matt (left) and Michael (right) are pictured as Scott Thorson and Liberace, respectively, in Behind the Candelabra which was released in 2013

'I'll do whatever you want': James, 37, played Liberace (Michael Douglas) while Matt, 44, portrayed his character Scott Thorson

Sticking by the script, James responded: 'I want to be everything to you, Scott. I want to be father, brother, lover, best friend.'

'I'll do whatever you want,' Matt reassured him.

The two then leaned in for a kiss before the classical-music soundtrack cut out and they continued their mammoth sketch which saw them act out 23 of the Academy-Award winner's most iconic films from his glittering career which spans 23 years.

With the help of a green screen and a resourceful studio team, they were able to give everything from 1992 box-office hit School Ties to Matt's latest release, Martian which is released in the UK on September 30, the spoof treatment.

A quick history lesson: The British host and the Academy-Award winner spoofed 23 of the actor's most iconic films in the eight-minute sketch. Right - School Ties (1992) and The Martian (2015)

Shameless plug: James improvised when it came to re-creating The Martian as it's not out for release in America until October 2. Matt used this as an opportunity to plug the film

Good sport: The Hollywood legend willingly dressed in full red krill costume as they spoofed Happy Feet Two

'Can you keep it down?': Matt - who voiced Bill the Krill in the animated flick - told James (who was playing his cheery mate Will the Krill) to 'be quiet' as he danced and sang to Wham!'s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Both the Ocean's and Bourne franchises were honoured in eight-minute skit.

Standing in front of a casino backdrop, they held placard's of the other cast-member's faces with James stepping into George Clooney's shoes.

'Where's Clooney?,' Matt questioned, to which James replied: 'I'm George Clooney, obviously.'

Matt responded: 'Yeah, alright, let's rob a casino.'

The backdrop simply changed to capture the essence of each of the three films - Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen.

While acting out the three-part Bourne series, Matt simply said: 'I'm Jason Bourne,' before pretending to punch James.

When it came to the final film, The Bourne Ultimatum, he said: 'I'm still Jason Bourne,' before mimicking the character's machoness once again.

Good Will Hunting, Rounders, Saving Private Ryan, Invictus, We Bought a Zoo, Stuck On You, Contagion, The Informant!, The Adjustment Bureau, True Grit, The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Departed and The Talented Mr. Ripley were also attempted by Matt and James with hilarious results.
