Corden Begs for Ratings With Silk Sonic Spoof "Leave the TV On"

After Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's performance of "Leave the Door Open" as Silk Sonic at Sunday's Grammy Awards, James Corden and Reggie Watts tried to recapture that retro vibe with a cold open spoof begging for a Late Late Show ratings bump from sleepy viewers entitled "Leave the TV On."

"You don't have to stay up / but our numbers will drop / if you touch the remote," Corden sings in this clip. "So if you're gonna head up to bed / could you leave the TV on?"
