When the actor stopped by _The Late Late Show_ on Wednesday, he begged James Corden for a chance to audition for [Carpool Karaoke](http://time.com/4506470/james-corden-carpool-karaoke-all/?iid=sr-link6). Corden was more than willing to let the _XXX_star try out. However, because the show is designed around singers like Britney Spears, [Lady Gaga,](http://time.com/4545657/lady-gaga-james-corden-carpool-karaoke/?iid=sr-link3) and Justin Bieber (and [Michelle Obama,](http://time.com/4412301/michelle-obama-james-corden-carpool-karaoke/?iid=sr-link2) of course) singing along to their own music, the question was what would Corden and Diesel sing in the car? Luckily, Diesel came prepared for that question. With a little help from Corden, Diesel proved his mettle, by [singing](http://time.com/3891763/vin-diesel-paul-walker-tribute/?iid=sr-link7) a few bars from “Consider Yourself” from the 1960 musical. The audience cheered the performance, and Diesel turned to them to ask, “How many of you wish you could do Carpool Karaoke? Am I entitled? Can I get a shot here? Can I do Carpool Karaoke? Can I do it in New York City in my hometown?” After that audition, Corden just might consider it. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4639335/vin-diesel-on-james-corden/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4639335/vin-diesel-on-james-corden/"},"headline":"Watch Vin Diesel Audition for James Corden's Carpool Karaoke","datePublished":"2017-01-19T18:13:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:17.345Z","description":"Please sir, can we have some more?","url":"https://time.com/4639335/vin-diesel-on-james-corden/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Vin Diesel","Late late show","Musicals","Late Night Television","james corden","carpool karaoke"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4639335/vin-diesel-on-james-corden/","name":"Watch Vin Diesel Audition for James Corden's Carpool Karaoke"}}]}] ```
