James Corden turns Kanye West's lyrics into a soap opera with Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, and Giovanni Ribisi
Kanye West has written some pretty over-the-top lyrics over the years.
And on Thursday's The Late Late Show with James Corden, the English host enlisted the help of celebrity guests to bring some of those lyrics to life in a hilarious sketch.
Corden was joined by Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and Meadowland's Giovanni Ribisi as the three men battled to win Jessica Biel's heart using a slew of Yeezy references.

The sketch began with Cranston and Biel standing in front of a priest (Reggie Watts) who would officiate their nuptials.
The couple was about to seal the deal when Biel said dreamily: 'Diamonds are forever.'
Cranston, borrowing from West's Diamonds From Sierra Leone, gulped and asked: 'Forever-ever?'

At that moment, a drunk Corden crashed the wedding, bottle in hand, seemingly to object to the union.
He shouted lyrics from 2010's Runaway: 'Let's have a toast for the douche bags, let's have a toast for the a**holes, run away as fast as you can!'
To which Biel responded: 'It's too late!'

Corden countered with lyrics from Stronger: 'You should be HONORED by my lateness.'
The actors continued to reference lyrics from the 39-year-old singer's Can't Tell Me Nothing, Love Lockdown, Monster, Heartless, Gold Digger, Through the Wire, All Falls Down, and Faded.
The scene came to an awkward pause as 60-year-old Cranston chose perhaps the most controversial lyrics from the singer's latest album, The Life of Pablo.

He announced: 'I made that b***h famous!' and defended his decision by explaining that those are actual Kanye lyrics, directed at singer Taylor Swift.
To which the cast replied echoes of horrified 'You can't call her that,' and 'not cool!'
'You don't want to take on that squad, believe me,' warned Corden, referring to Taylor's group of friends, such as Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, and Gigi Hadid.
Not again: Cranston continued with another blunder, mistakenly sounding off lyrics from Drake's Hotline Bling

Soon after, Ribisi arrived and took his part in fighting for Biel's heart - until the men teamed up and left the 34-year-old starlet at the alter, screaming 'We want pre-nup!' from the rapper's famous song, Gold Digger.

Apart from being characteristically outrageous, Kanye's music has also been highly influential in the music industry of the 21st century.
The fashion designer has a combined whopping 21 Grammy Awards for his music and is nominated for six more at the upcoming 59th annual award show.
