JAMES CORDEN QUITS THE LATE LATE SHOW ON CBS
James Corden has announced he will be leaving The Late Late Show - broadcast in the US - in 2023, after eight years hosting the late night talk show.
James Corden told Deadline: "It’s been it’s a really hard decision to leave because I’m so immensely proud of the show. I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave, and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure."
Speaking later on his show, James added: "I never saw [the show] as my final destination and I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way, I always want to love making it and I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on and see what else might be out there."
In a statement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of the CBS network said: "From 'Crosswalk the Musical' to the legendary 'Carpool Karaoke,' and every unique comedy segment he introduced, James has truly reimagined many elements of the late night format...
"We wish he could stay longer, but we are very proud he made CBS his American home and that this partnership will extend one more season on The Late Late Show."
