The Briton has extended his contract for the CBS night series for one year and will leave before the summer of 2023. Corden will host The Late Late Show for eight and a half years until he leaves – a major achievement. “It was a really difficult decision to leave because I am very proud of the show. I’m excited to expand [for a year]”Corden told Deadline. “I always thought I would do it for five years and then I would leave and then I would stay. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, wondering if there might be another adventure.” Corden signed a contract to present The Late Late Show, which was previously presented by Ferguson in 2014 and premiered on March 23, 2015. The co-creator of Gavin & Stacey was a bit of a surprise, but he revived the 12:30 p.m. on CBS and breathed new life into the late night with viral sections such as Carpool Karaoke, Drop The Mic, Spill Your Guts and Crosswalk Musical. In fact, Corden’s Carpool Karaoke with Adele has been viewed more than 250 million times on YouTube, while his trip with One Direction has garnered 189 million views. The YouTube page Late Late Show itself had nearly 10 billion views and has over 27 million subscribers, the second highest late at night. Kate Schellenbach, Zeberiah Newman, Rob Crabbe & Ben Winston Terence Patrick / CBS CBS executives, including President and CEO George Cheeks, CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl, SEVP Programming Thom Sherman and Nick Bernstein, SVP, Late-Night Programming, West Coast, wanted to keep Corden and offered a variety of agreements, including three-year duration. extension, two-year extension and a one-year rolling contract before making his decision. “My bosses here at CBS have been incredibly supportive and extremely patient with me as I make this decision,” Corden added. “Seven years ago, James Corden came to the United States and took the television by storm, with huge creative and comic alternations that resonated with viewers on the air and on the Internet. From Crosswalk the Musical to the legendary Carpool Karaoke, and every single piece of comedy he introduced, James has really rediscovered many elements of the form late at night. “He was also the network’s perfect showman, entertaining audiences with his night-time perch at Television City as well as the Tony and Grammy stage,” Cheeks said. “In my two years at CBS, I had the privilege of seeing James’s creative genius up close and living his valuable collaboration with CBS, both as a performer and as a producer. “I wish he could stay longer, but we are very proud that CBS made his home in America and that this collaboration will be extended for another season on The Late Late Show.” Corden’s move marks the second major late-night shift in the last 12 months after relatively stable years. Conan O’Brien recently left the field after a long career behind the desk and Jimmy Kimmel’s future is also uncertain with the comedian publicly discussing whether he will continue to host his show on ABC. CBS will also have to find out what they do after Corden and how to replace him. There has been a lot of speculation in recent years if Corden would leave The Late Late Show and return to the UK. But Corden told Deadline that he and his family “really do not know the answer.” “It’s something we think about and talk about a lot, but we haven’t really decided on that yet. “This is the side of life that we will understand.” “I like living here. I love everything that is given to me. My family and I never took this incredible adventure for granted. “Every day I go down to Sunset to work and I just think I’m from High Wycombe.” “There are still other things I feel I want to do. I would like to try to write. There are a few [stories] I would like to say. I would like to see if I can do it. “The fact that it is scary is the reason we do it,” he added.

Having told his staff this afternoon, Corden wanted to inform his team enough that the move was not a surprise. Produced by CBS Studios and Fulwell 73, and produced by Rob Crabbe and Ben Winston, Corden called The Late Late Show “the happiest work environment.” “Out of respect for everyone [staff]. I want to tell them now and say that we can really go into this last year with absolute enthusiasm, passion and love. These performances are not made by one person. “I am very lucky to be working with some people whose talents and talents just amaze me,” he said. The extension also means he will spend some time in matches with his friend Mark Noble, the captain of his beloved West Ham United, who is retiring at the end of this season. “He is the happiest I will not leave in September because he desperately wants to go out and play golf,” laughs Corden. “I will be here for eight and a half years, he has been in this club since he was nine. “Nothing makes me happier to be thought of with the same breath as Mark Noble, but I would not deserve such praise.” Now, Corden and his team must try to overcome their entry – where Corden persuaded Tom Hanks to make a retrospective career with him in his first episode, which also included appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Crystal, Chris Rock and Meryl Streep. “I’ll miss the adrenaline rush” Next week I’ll jump off the plane with Tom Cruise or in two weeks we’ll walk around the White House in a car with Michelle Obama or sing Penny Lane with Paul McCartney they drive Penny Lane, “he said. “All my biggest ambitions for what it is [the show] he could, he has completely overcome all that “, he added. “My intention is to try to get out in exactly the same way we came in, which is just to go out with a bang.
