“Artists, particularly music artists, are more than music and lyrics,” the show’s executive producer Ken Ehrlich told Cheddar. “We feel it’s important to be a forum for that, as long as it’s responsible and it stays within the limits of what the FCC says you can’t say on TV.“

“The opening number is not [host] James Corden,” he confirmed. “They’re are artists that have been on our show before, but they’re doing something that you’ve never seen before.”
