James Corden Extends Contract with CBS

CBS has reached a new agreement with”The Late Late Show’s” James Corden to continue to host his nightly talk/variety show through August 2022. Corden, who received the most Emmy Award nominations of any individual performer this year (seven in total), originally took over as host of the late night series on March 23, 2015.
 
“James Corden has burned his way to the top of American television with a daring, energetic and inventive broadcast that stands out in the late night space,” said David Nevins, Chief Creative Officer for the CBS Corporation. “He is a host and performer whose considerable talents shine on every stage, and he has created a cutting-edge comedy factory with shows that have resonated across multiple platforms. James and his shows are a great source of pride to CBS, and it’s exciting to extend our relationship well into the future.”

Corden’s latest round of Emmy nominations is a result of “The Late Late,” the “Carpool Karaoke” primetime specials, the “Carpool Karaoke” series for Apple, and talent competition “The World’s Best.”
