James Corden recently challenged the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, to a 100-meter race. The Late Late Show host invited his “non athletic” staff as well as actor Owen Wilson to race the nine-time Olympic gold medalist at the CBS Television City parking lot. Before the face-off, hilarious introductions were made — the camera panned to Corden’s accountant in full running gear while holding a laptop, his supervising producer wearing a suit to the race as well as the show’s guitarist sacrilegiously puffing on a cigarette just seconds before the match kicked off. Unsurprisingly, Bolt came in first and Corden came in an applaudable 21st place. As for Wilson, the actor was disqualified for a false start at the beginning of the race.

Watch the ridiculous clip above and let us know your thoughts.
