A foot race between the fastest man alive and a TV host — what could go wrong?
James Corden, the host of CBS’ “The Late Late Show,” invited Olympic gold medalist and world’s fastest man Usain Bolt to his show Tuesday as both a guest, and a competitor. Corden challenged Bolt, guest Owen Wilson and the rest of his show’s staff to a 100-meter sprint, and the results weren’t surprising.
Despite the embarrassing outcome, Corden thinks he just might have had an off day, saying “That’s the life of a professional track athlete, some days it comes, and some days it doesn’t.”
Never afraid to boast, Corden took to Twitter before the show, proclaiming himself as the winner:
I just destroyed @usainbolt in a 100 meter sprint. He didn't stand a chance. See tonight @latelateshow CBS 12.30

As far as Bolt’s analysis of the race, its tough to argue with him.
“No. 1, all day,” Bolt said. “Every day, No. 1, I’m a winner.”
