James Corden has become a chat show king in the Us - but anyone in the UK who watches his latest skit might experience a little déjà vu.
Corden appeared to rip off the 'Identity Parade' round of BBC Two music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks on last night's Late Late Show.
Sure, it was redressed as a 'Know Your Co-Star' quiz with guest Kevin Bacon, but there was no mistaking this for anything but a redressed Identity Parade.
Both involve the player being shown a vintage clip of a former star - then attempting to pick them out of a line-up.
Corden even hands out nicknames to the men stood in the line-up, mimicking the style of the Buzzcocks round - an example of which we present below:
Corden's got previous with Never Mind the Buzzcocks too - having hosted the show in 2009 and served as a team captain...

Never Mind the Buzzcocks has been cancelled after 28 series, with the BBC confirming the much-loved show will not be returning.
The ingenious - and often hilarious - pop music panel quiz arrived on screens way back in 1996, and ran for over 260 episodes.
Hosts including Mark Lamarr, Simon Amstell and Rhod Gilbert have appeared alongside team captains Phil Jupitus, Sean Hughes, Bill Bailey and Noel Fielding. Here are some of the greatest moments.
1. Boys will be boys!
Preston took an immediate dislike to being described by Simon Amstell as a "professional celebrity" on introduction, before Amstell joked that his band The Ordinary Boys have no fans.
But it was when he began to read extracts from Preston's then-wife Chantelle Houghton's biography - with the line "The photoshoot was for the Daily Mail, which made me feel really posh and upmarket" - that he stormed off the show in disgust.

"I deal with drag queens on a daily basis. Perez Hilton is more of a diva than 20 drag queens all in one room." Michelle Visage summed up Perez Hilton to perfection on last night's Celebrity Big Brother (January 14).
You've definitely got to hand it to Perez. The over-zealous showbiz blogger has the ability to turn almost every single incident in the Celebrity Big Brother house into something All about Him.
And once you learn to take his "me, me, me, me" attitude (and most of what he says) with a pinch of salt, it can become rather amusing and entertaining to watch.
Here are a few of his most attention-seeking antics so far below, enjoy!
It's all about you... No, I mean me
From the moment he stepped into the Big Brother house, he was interrogating every single housemate for more personal - and at times - unsavoury details after clearly stalking researching each star.

Ofcom has ruled that an episode of Celebrity Big Brother broke scheduling regulations.
Five complaints were made about the Sunday, January 19 edition of the Channel 5 programme, which was a repeat of the previous evening's episode.

The episode's highlights included Ollie Locke and Luisa Zissman making bread shaped like Dappy's penis, and general chats about orgasms and sex.

Luisa Zissman has finished in fourth place on Celebrity Big Brother.
She beat model Casey Batchelor and reality star Sam Faiers in the public vote tonight (January 29).
When asked by host Emma Willis how it felt to be out, Zissman said: "I thought I'd be out in a week and I just kept on being voted in."
Speaking about why she thought she was so popular in the house, she said: "I don't bulls**t. I'm very upfront. I believe in not being two-faced, say it how it is, say what you think and if people don't like it they can do one."
She added: "I don't really care what people think of me, I think more people should go through life like that. Jim [Davidson] really thinks that I have a barrier up, and I'm not who I say I am, and I'm really sensitive... but I'm not."

Celebrity Big Brother stars Ollie Locke and Sam Faiers hinted at their feelings for each other in their final speeches last night.
As the final six housemates celebrated their last night in the house by discussing their time together, Sam admitted that she would miss having Ollie around all the time.
"I'll miss every day waking up spending time with you, it's been amazing," she said. "Everything I've done, you've been there for me, when I've not been well you've made me smile. You're always giving me compliments and making me feel special, so thank you."
Ollie was more explicit about his feelings for Sam, suggesting that he would be open to a relationship outside the house if she was interested.

As we brace ourselves for the Celebrity Big Brother final - we're just starting to warm to Jim and we're already missing Lee saying "I'm no player" on repeat - we bring you some of our favourite quotes from arguably the best series so far.
1. We enjoyed Dappy's unnecessary Gcse rant, during which his grades seemed to go up each time he attempted to recite his results. "I got a B in Music, an A in English... I got an A in music... an A* in English..."
The real piece de resistance was when Dappy declared that he'd definitely beat Luisa in an Iq test. Or come a bit below.
Or an awful lot?
2. When Luisa was handcuffed to Evander and the pair were suffering many an awkward silence, she eventually turned and asked the former heavyweight boxer: "Do you not say a lot or do you just not like me?...

This series of Celebrity Big Brother has been - without a doubt, without any arguments - a classic. Already, we're starting to wonder what we're going to do when it comes to an end. What are we going to shout at on our television now? But prepare we must, because the show comes to an end tonight (even after Channel 5 pushed it back and back again).
Before we say goodbye, though, there's one little matter to deal with. It's just a small thing. Only who's going to win. And to be honest, it doesn't seem like this is really a puzzler: all signs point to Jim.
Sure, we could be in for an Ulrika Jonsson-style shock, but if we're going on odds and what we know of the voting so far, it would not be a surprise to see the former Generation Game host taking the crown. But... is that a good thing?...

Celebrity Big Brother evictee Jasmine Waltz has branded Casey Batchelor "pathetic" in a new interview.
Jasmine - who sensationally returned to the house over the weekend to confront Casey and Lee Ryan about their love triangle - told Nuts that she has changed her opinion of Casey.
"I liked her at first, but now I see that she manipulated a lot of people in the house into feeling sorry for her," she said. "Having watched it back, I've seen Lee tell Casey five or six times that he didn't like her in a serious way and that he was into me. I think she's a little pathetic."
Jasmine added that she would like to see Lee now that he has been evicted, describing him as "sweet" but insisting that they did nothing more than "kissing" in the house.

"Luisa, please stand up behind the sofa," Jim said. "The lecture you will give, without repeating yourself, stuttering or saying, 'Oh f**k' for five minutes will be why you believe men are the stronger species than women."
Luisa groaned as soon as she heard the suggestion, prompting the other housemates to start laughing.
"Good morning," Luisa began. "I am Luisa Zissman and I am here to talk to you about why men are a stronger species than women. Hmm. If you look back in history, men have always been the more dominant sex."

Celebrity Big Brother star Jim Davidson was treated to a visit from his wife and daughter yesterday.
The duo popped into the famous house as part of the 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' task and told Jim how well he is doing and how proud they are of him.
Jim's wife also took the opportunity to reassure him that their house was not flooded during the recent heavy rain - and poked fun at one of his arguments with Luisa by bringing him some freshly ironed shirts.
The duo shared some news of loved ones who couldn't visit the house, and the visit was so emotional that Dappy shed a tear.
"You're famous on Twitter," Jim's daughter added. "You're hilarious. Everyone's loving your one liners - keep them coming, keep making everyone laugh."

Jim Davidson also had a chuckle at the house streaker as Dappy yelled that he was doing it for him, before getting out of the water to receive a peck on the cheek from the comedian.
After all that fun, Luisa helped Dappy towel down in the bedroom, but couldn't resist requesting a sneak peek at his manhood.
"Just let me look," she said. "It's so big."
"Yes it is," Dappy replied.

After Jasmine had left, Lee defended his behaviour in a conversation with Ollie Locke and Dappy.
He told them: "I'm not being really affectionate the same way I was with Jasmine, the way I look at Jasmine, the way I stroked her face and kissed her, I don't do that with Casey. With me it's two totally different things.
"I'm not leading her on. Casey knows exactly how I feel and she's cool with it.

Celebrity Big Brother's Huskies have passed the latest shopping task.
The task saw housemates Lee Ryan, Casey Batchelor, Luisa Zissman and Dappy dressing up as husky dogs and pulling a sled around the garden, which was covered in fake snow.
Big Brother gathered the housemates to reveal that the Huskies had not been staying in a kennel after all, and instead had been enjoying treats at The Mutt's Nuts.
Whether or not the group passed the task was down to the Huskies not getting discovered.
As the Huskies did not get rumbled by the Explorers (Sam Faiers, Ollie Locke, Jim Davidson, Linda Nolan and Liz Jones), they passed this week's shopping task and, as a consequence, are receiving a luxury shopping budget.
Big Brother had previously hinted that things wouldn't be "all too bad" for the Huskies as there was a "surprise twist" in the works.

Later on, Lee joked around in the kennel with Casey, who propositioned him with: "Do you want a blowjob? We'll call it a treatment, do you want some treatment?"
Lee answered: "A proper treat, as a doggy treat if I had a new one," while Casey replied: "I'll give you a doggy treat. That's our code name."
The singer then said: "Send me straight off to sleep."

Celebrity Big Brother housemates Jim Davidson and Linda Nolan clashed yet again last night in a row over cherry brandy.
As part of this week's North Pole shopping task, the Huskies - Dappy, Lee Ryan, Luisa Zissman and Casey Batchelor - were treated to a night in a pub but had to convince the other housemates, the Explorers, that they were spending the night in a squalid kennel.
Jim decided to go on hunger strike in solidarity and - when the Huskies were allowed to spend time in the garden - revealed that the Explorers had been provided with cherry brandy which they didn't drink.
"I did," Linda revealed. "I didn't drink the end, though, because it was horrible. But the top was [nice]. Initially it was like a liqueur coffee, but the cherry brandy was really strong. I couldn't drink that."

Celebrity Big Brother housemates Dappy and Jim Davidson went on hunger strike last night.
As part of this week's North Pole shopping task, the Huskies - Dappy, Luisa Zissman, Casey Batchelor and Lee Ryan - were treated to a secret Mutt's Nuts pub with lots of food after a day of gruelling challenges.
However, Jim and the other housemates believed that they had been forced to bed down in an uncomfortable kennel with nothing to eat.
As a result, Jim decided to go on hunger strike and Dappy decided to join him after watching the other housemates on a screen from the pub.
"Poor Jim, man," he said.
When Lee asked Dappy why he did not want to eat, he replied: "Because bro, Lee, are you being serious? What about Jim, then? I've seen this so I've decided I'm not going to eat for Jim's sake. You lot eat -...

Celebrity Big Brother introduced a twist to this week's North Pole shopping task last night.
The Huskies - Luisa Zissman, Dappy, Lee Ryan and Casey Batchelor - have had to endure tasks involving pulling the other housemates on a sled, drinking ice cold shots, and using their mouths to remove fish from lines.
However, Big Brother had a surprise treat for them last night - which they had to keep a secret from their fellow housemates.
The quartet were initially told that they would not be allowed to sleep in the warmth of the house and would have to bed down in their "dog kennel" in the garden.
They were all unhappy about the news, worried that they would not be able to sleep and would not have any food apart from perhaps slop.
"I don't know why you're suffering like this," Linda Nolan said in solidarity. "Maybe we're going to suffer some s**t.

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Luisa Zissman was too disgusted to take part in one of the North Pole challenges.
The latest part of the shopping task saw the Huskies - Luisa, Dappy, Lee Ryan and Casey Batchelor - being asked to use their mouths to remove fish and seafood from lines being pulled by Ollie Locke and Sam Faiers.
However, as soon as Ollie began to reel in his line, Luisa started to squeal and announced that she could not take part.
"I can't do it," she repeated. "I'm so sorry, I can't do it. I'm so sorry, Dappy. Ugh, I can't do this, I can't do this."
The news meant that Dappy was forced to take on their fish, with lots of encouragement from Ollie, who told him: "You're doing it for everyone. You're doing it so well mate... You're literally the dream."
Meanwhile, Casey Batchelor initially looked disgusted...

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lee Ryan was in agony after suffering from brain freeze in the latest task.
As part of this week's North Pole shopping task, Big Brother gathered the 'huskies' - Lee, Casey Batchelor, Luisa Zissman and Dappy - to take part in a challenge.
Explorer Linda Nolan was asked to answer a series of questions, with the answer being a number. The huskies would then have to down the right number of ice cold shots.
The huskies immediately ran into trouble, with Casey complaining about her teeth and Luisa groaning.
However, it was in round two that things really escalated as the shots - which were so frozen that the huskies had to bang them to get them out of the glasses - started to affect Lee.
After just one shot, he was holding his head in his hands, almost crying and squealing, gasping: "I've only had one,...

Luisa Zissman put earrings down her top to fool Dappy into thinking she had erect nipples after a night of drinking on Celebrity Big Brother yesterday (January 19).
The Apprentice runner-up placed the jewellery carefully down her neon pink vest in front of amused fellow housemates and waited to see Dappy's reaction.
When Casey Batchelor, who was in on the prank, pointed out Luisa's top to get his attention, Dappy did a double-take before exclaiming: "What the hell is that? Jesus Christ. What's wrong with them?"
He added: "They look like you've put something down them. They don't look real."
Ollie Locke played his part in the practical joke by suggesting: "She's just been playing with them for like half an hour."
Luisa quipped: "I can't help it."
Dappy then joked in the Diary Room that Luisa's breasts probably needed their own passports, adding that one has its own heartbeat,...
