Of course, it wouldn't be The Late Late Show without a few zany skits and games. One of the highlights of the episode is when Dwayne, Jack, Tim, and James play a game of "Who's Most Likely To…", where they try to predict who would be most likely to do various outrageous things. Another fun segment is when James challenges Dwayne to a "Mascot Battle", where they each don a giant mascot costume and try to outdo each other with silly dance moves.
The show wraps up with a musical performance from Tim Minchin, who brings out his trusty piano and performs one of his original songs. James thanks his guests for coming on the show, and the audience applauds as the credits roll.
