The Carpool With James Corden And JJ Abrams
Just when you think that the Chewbacca Mask Mom reached her peak in stardom, she appeared on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" on Monday night, Huffington Post added. In a hilarious skit for the "Late Late Show", the Chewbacca Mask Mom attempted to give the host, James Corden, a ride to work.
However, like in her first video, she just kept on laughing. Of course, J.J. Abrams just had to be there to give the Chewbacca Mask Mom and Corden a run through on how to best act like a Chewbacca. Ulitimately, Corden was convinced to put on the mask and the trio kept on roaring inside the car.
"I am such a J.J. Abrams fan, that blew my world away," Payne told Corden later on "The Late Late Show" on CBS, CNET reported. If this wasn't enough, Corden also surprised Chewbacca Mask Mom with a message from Peter Mayhew, the actor who actually played Chewbacca in the "Star Wars" films.
"Candace, you are an inspiration," Mayhew wrote his special message. "Your attitude and lovely message really resonates and with spreading the good word of Star Wars with a heart, well it's so much of why we do what we do."
