CBS announced that the Network has reached a new agreement with The Late Late Show’s James Corden to continue to host his acclaimed broadcast through August 2022.

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,” said David Nevins, Chief Creative Officer for the CBS Corporation.

The Late Late Show with James Corden is produced by CBS Television Studios and airs weeknights (12:37-1:37am, ET/PT) on CBS. Ben Winston and Rob Crabbe are the executive producers. The series is distributed by CBS Studios International.
