Must have been a awesome surprise to the audience to be told James Corden and Tom Cruise will be part of the show.

[@jonnyleeconway]

A lot of times when hosts leave the show it’s because the network wants change, but they allow the host to “retire” so it doesn’t look like their contract wasn’t renewed. I am confident this is what happened with James, and is the reason CBS is not continuing the late late show with a new host

[@MashaT22]

I was hoping the same, but most of the team probably would not be willing/able to move. Also, it just wouldn’t quite work the same way without access to A-listers at the drop of a hat. British humor (especially talk show humor) is very different and most Americans wouldn’t relate unless most of the writers are using American humor melded with accents of James British flavor. I do hope they’ll do some special reunion shows occasionally with their entire team and band and/or online bits. He also could have kept doing Carpool Karaoke online from London, but maybe there were copyright issues that wouldn’t allow it. I could watch those forever. I still frequently watch my favorites on repeat. I hope James will keep his heart close to us here in the US and still do projects where we can enjoy his comedy.

@@_..D but let me really fix it for you. He's admitted his ego got too big after becoming so famous in the UK after gavin and Stacey he said in a interview with pierce Morgan that he had to go and take a hard look in the mirror. It was hard when everyone would scream at you scream how much they love you not being able to go out without body guards it massaged his ego as it does alot of people. He fixed that and that's where we are today. Nice try though kid. You keep reading them little pop up news story's that make shxt up.

[@MACBoricua]

@@colinluckens9591 He was very young when he started, I believe one of his first movies was the Outsiders

[@cleovillanueva]

Can’t believe I just saw this now. This was hilarious! Kudos to everyone who went to great lengths to put this together. Had so much fun watching. Thanks for the laughs!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Imagine somebody telling their friends they went to see the Lion King. “Ah, that’s cool.” “Yeah, who would have thought Tom Cruise as Pumbaa?” “Yeah, that would…SAY WHAT?” I've seen Broadway musicals like Mamma Mia, Beauty & the Beast, and Little Mermaid in person, but Lion King remains my favorite Broadway musical. I got to see it when I was a kid Seeing the animals go down the aisle right next to me during the Circle of Life intro blew little me away. And James and Tom being a part of the musical made it even better. The chemistry between them is so infectious. And the duet of Can You Feel the Love Tonight is the icing on the cake. This was payback for Tom for all the stunts he made James do throughout the years, but I must say kudos to Tom for being a good sport! So fun to see Tom Cruise being silly but with such commitment. I will miss all the crazy, innovative humor that James Corden brought to his show like Carpool Karaoke and Crosswalk the Musical. I wish him all the best as he returns home for the next chapter. Thanks for the memories.

[@loveq.8216]

Tom is always so good on these shows. He's great with James and he's got a good repertoire with Jimmy Fallon too.

Here's some Lion King musical facts: The musical debuted on July 8, 1997, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Orpheum Theatre and was successful before premiering on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre on October 15, 1997, in previews, with the official opening on November 13, 1997. It was then moved to the Minskoff Theatre from New Amsterdam to make room for Mary Poppins (which has since closed and now Aladdin performs at the New Amsterdam), where it still performs today. While this version of the musical is the touring version, on Broadway, it is the third longest-running show in Broadway history, and has grossed more than $1 billion, making it the highest grossing Broadway production of all time. Over 112 million people worldwide have seen the musical and it has earned numerous awards and honors, including six Tony Awards, one for Best Musical and Best Direction of a Musical, making director Julie Taymor the first woman to earn such an honor
