VIDEO: Benedict Cumberbatch Ruins James Corden's Performance of MEMORY on THE LATE LATE SHOW

Before they achieved fame as actors, James and Benedict Cumberbatch had a long history of appearing in live theater together, but their fierce competitiveness managed to ruin performances of "Hamlet," "Waiting for Godot" and "The Crucible." Check out the hilarious clip below!

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH James Corden throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."
