One of late night’s “Jimmys” is bidding farewell.
According to Deadline, James Corden, who has hosted CBS’ The Late Late Show since 2015, will leave the late-night talk show before next summer.
According to Deadline, Corden’s contract has been extended for another year, putting his departure in early 2023.
He’ll have been hosting The Late Late Show for more than eight years by then, having taken over from previous host Craig Ferguson.
Did James Corden leave The Late Late Show?
“It’s been a really hard decision to leave because I’m so immensely proud of the show. I’m thrilled to be extending [for a year],” Corden said in a statement.
“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.”
Who will replace James Corden on The Late Late Show?
There’s no word yet on who will take over as host of CBS’ Late Late Show in the absence of Corden, or even if the show will continue after he departs.
