James Corden

Corden announced his decision during the taping of Thursday's “The Late Late Show,” which he began hosting in 2015.

Corden said he didn’t have an end date for the show in mind and that it would “always be a bigger family decision than a professional one. He will leave the show that airs weeknights at 12:37 a.m. Eastern in spring 2023. It was going to be a journey, an adventure. It’s been beyond my wildest, wildest dreams.” “When I started this journey, it was always going to be just that. ... I am so proud of what we’ve achieved.

With Corden announcing that he's leaving The Late Late Show next year, we present a range of options.

She’s someone you’d want to gab with on a couch, which, given the Late Late Show’s more casual two-guests-at-once style, seems like a good fit for the program. If CBS wants to go the more traditional route, hopefully they’ll expand their search from the late-night space and look into other forms of media, like podcasts. Before coming to CBS, Corden broke out as a theater star; his biggest hit as a late-night host has been creating Carpool Karaoke, a musical franchise that’s evolved from Late Late Show staple to its own series. With decades of comedy experience under his belt—just check out his multiple acclaimed Comedy Central specials—plus the political bona fides to take on the current events aspect of the gig, given his many years serving as a correspondent on The Daily Show, Woods would be a wonderful successor to Corden. His dry and brutally honest takes about hot topics in American politics, from critical race theory to Black History Month, delight as much as they inform, and appearances on Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show prove he can banter with the best of them. And like Corden, Ruffin is a charmer who often has a song in her heart, unafraid to engage in a silly, musical bit. After eight and a half years, James Corden will finally be getting out of the Carpool Karaoke game.

The fact that we get to try and entertain you, and spend time with you, is an absolute privilege for me and every single person who makes this show.

“I never saw it as my final destination, and I never want this show to overstay its welcome. “The other half is the sadder news. “That’s really only half the story,” he said.

I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way,” he said in an emotional monologue on the show he has hosted since 2015.

“We’re going to go out with a bang.” Mr. Corden had knocked on the stranger’s door and asked for permission to film. We are all determined to make this the best year we have ever had making this show,” Mr. Corden said. This segment includes Mr. Corden driving around with musical superstars, singing duets and interviewing them. “I really think in a year from now that’ll be a good time to move on.” I always want to love making it,” he said.
