It wasn’t long ago that “Chewbacca Mom” won the Internet with her infectious laugh, but it looks like she's here to stay.
 
Texas mom Candace Payne went viral just last week after going live on Facebook from a Kohl's parking lot, wearing a Chewbacca mask and laughing so infectiously that millions of viewers all over the world couldn't help but laugh themselves. 
 
And it seems like still, no one can get enough of her – including “The Late Late Show” host James
Corden.
 
Corden brought Candace Payne along on one of his infamous carpool segments. But he didn’t stop there.
 
Also along for the ride was Star Wars Director J.J. Abrams himself, offering an expert’s perspective on impersonating Chewbacca.
 
 
We’re sure Payne had no idea her silly video would garner so much attention.
 
In another clip from the episode, Corden reads Payne a letter from original Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew, inviting her to meet him at an upcoming expo (watch the clip below).
