---
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."

I never thought this wonderful show would end in a million years. Thank you James for all the memories and thank you for your time these past 8 years. From the Carpool Karaoke's to the Crosswalks and skits, it's been such a wonderful journey. You've had so many incredible guests on your show and have put smiles on billions of peoples faces. I can't believe this is it. Its so hard to believe but I'm so glad you're closing this show with amazing last guests, one last crosswalk, karaoke and skits. Thank you for your time James. Just know we'll never, ever forget you and your time with us. ❤

@•LILLS• - Well put, but _poorly spelled._ You incorrectly used the _possessive_ form of a _singular_ "memory" (which is "memory's"), instead of the _plural_ form, *"memories,"* and "Karaoke's" instead of _"Carpool _*_Karaoke segments."_* You failed to use the _possessive_ form in "billions of *peoples* faces," which is _"billions of _*_people's_*_ faces,"_ and also incorrectly used the _possessive_ form, *"Its* so hard," instead of the contraction of "It is," which is *_"It's_*_ so hard."_

Nevermind the haters, James Corden has been truly one of the most talented to ever host late night. The pure joy, the original segments, Car motherfucking Pool Karaoke. The entire 8 years have been him realizing his childhood dreams and we were all in for the ride. Forever missed! ❤

[@YoliHomes]

I'm so sad to see James leaving the show and the country!! His show was amazing!! I used to live in London and as beautiful as it is... CALIFORNIA weather is unmatchable!! Of course, he probably wants to reunite with his family. I just have the feeling that one day, not too far away, he will be back to our wonderful USA!!🙏🌎☀🌍

[@somerandomyoutubechannel5816]

If Corden couldn't reunited One Direction, I don't think anyone can I'm going to miss this show so so much. It was so much more than James. It was a whole crew and band, especially the last few years. No one handled the pandemic as well as James and crew did. I hope he knows just how much he did for his audience during the hardest thing we've gone through as a world in our life times. I deeply hope that everyone on this show finds greater things in their futures. Thank you so much for the laughs. Personally, you helped me through a tough divorce from an abuser. Being able to laugh for an hour before bed helped so much. Your impact has been so great. Thank you.

i dont want this show to end

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

It won't, it might just be his last show. Late night shows always have a new host. It all depends on if CBS wants to pick it up again with a new host and production crew.

[@toyahtxsthck]

Me either 🥹

[@ElifTPWK]

​@Samuel Duplessis but it is not the same without James :(

[@alansheiman4818]

@@SamuelDuplessis12 Sorry to say that the replacement is going to be a night time game show produced by Stephen Colbert.

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

@@ElifTPWK True, it wasn't the Same without Craig Ferguson either and I'm sure it wasn't without either Killborn or Tom Snyder as well but Ferguson and Corden's hosting Tenures really made Late Late apart of the core 5 Late night shows (TLLS, Tonight, LS, LN, Kimmel). Now with James leaving, it's up to CBS to either pickup the show again with a new host and production crew or cancel it completely. I think if CBS were to pick it up again with a new host, I think a guy like Mike Birbiglia (who did a fantastic job guest hosting for Kimmel last summer on his show) could be a perfect next host.
