The Weeknd is set to perform in the Super Bowl halftime show, but James Corden thinks the “Blinding Lights” singer could use a little coaching to make sure his performance is as flawless as a Patrick Mahomes deep pass.

“I knew sooner or later that the network’s biggest star would have to pitch in and help out,” “The Late Late Show” host said in the new clip that will air on CBS on Monday night. “Unfortunately, Young Sheldon doesn’t have a cell phone. He’s not allowed. He’s still a child.”

“I didn’t call anyone,” The Weeknd says into the camera. “Dude just showed up.”
