All credit for this bit goes to James Corden, since not many people could strike a straight face while sitting in front of a piano master and bashing keys without the slightest bit of shame.
That first laugh Elton John lets out as Corden starts aimlessly punching away at the keys indicates one of two thoughts: A. “This is a really funny sketch,” or B. “What has my life become?”
Either context is hilarious, too.
Ultimately John was a good sport about it all, but if we had to guess whether or not he enjoyed the bit as much as Sharon Stone, we’d have to say him trying to stop Corden’s performance with rampant guessing kind of says it all.
