Corden's journey on The Late Late Show

James Corden is one of the most beloved show hosts and is known for his impressive questions and fun activities that he makes his guests do on The Late Late Show. He debuted with the show on March 23, 2015. Earlier, Craig Ferguson hosted the talk show for nine years and later left in 2014. As per Deadline, Corden choosing the show back in 2015 was a surprise for many, but he reinvigorated the show's time slot from 12:30 am on CBS and gave it a new life with several new segments, such as Drop the Mic, Spill Your Guts, Carpool Karaoke, Crosswalk Musical and more, which went viral in no time.

During the chat, Corden revealed how CBS' chiefs, including President and CEO George Cheeks, SEVP Programming Thom Sherman, CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl, and SVP, Late-Night Programming of the West Coast, Nick Bernstein, all were keen to keep him on the show. They also offered him various deals but the host had already made up his mind. He said, "My bosses here at CBS have been incredibly supportive and extraordinarily patient with me while I made this decision."
