James Corden signs a two-year Late Late Show extension

The Hollywood Reporter

Corden's first contract, which he signed one year before his Late Late Show launched in 2014, was set to expire in 2020. His new contract will keep him in late-night through August 2022. "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 at CBS Corp. "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 is one of five late-night hosts who are signed on through 2022. The others are Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Samantha Bee and Conan O'Brien.
