Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

They're taking around 550 pounds per night (and that's for a standard room). I'm pretty sure appealing to the younger age demografic is not something they're interested in... and people who are able and willing to pay that much certainly wouldn't like being disturbed by a comedian, famous or not.
