CBS announced today that James Corden has signed on to continue to host The Late Late Show until August 2022.
He joined the network on March 23, 2015. Since then he has become a viral sensation thanks to segments like Carpool Karaoke, Drop the Mic and Crosswalk the Musical. Therefore his renewal seems like a no-brainer. However, before signing on the dotted line, he said he was not sure he wanted to be so far away from his family that is back home in England. His parents, his wife’s parents and his kids are not getting any younger. Thus, he had them to consider when he was agreeing to stay on.
I am sure, he realized this is a cushy gig where he can take time off to do a movie like Cats or host the Tonys. Why not keep doing it and move his family here. I am sure he is making enough money to do that.
