3 (CIA agent) was Almond Joy.

#1 was Julie Nixon Eisenhower; #2 was intended to be Jerry Seinfeld (“Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”). I think James Corden’s thing is “Carpool Karaoke”; if he’s ever gotten coffee with a fellow comedian, let me know, otherwise I’ll take the DQ.
#3 was Jerry Stiller, Frank Costanza on Seinfeld.
