James Cordenis leavingThe Late Late Showmuch like he entered: with a bang.
Corden kicked off his first show on March 23, 2015 with a coup.
We want to go out in the same manner that we came in.
‘The Late Late Show with James Corden‘CBS
Its like my theory about on-set catering; people only really remember the first and last days food.
That might apply to talk shows as well.
I have nothing but love and gratitude for all of it.
Im from High Wycombe.
The overwhelming thing I feel is I dont know what Ive done to deserve such memories.
Its necessary that [late-night] remains in the cultural landscape of America.
It shows how hard it is to get on air with one of these shows and make them work.
There is no doubt televisions landscape has massively changed.
The group is leaving just as TikTok is perhaps usurping YouTube for many of these clips.
There is still a huge place for late-night, because fundamentally, its entertainment.
Those late-night shows that still exist today, theyre still going to be as successful as they ever were.
We just have to change the way we measure that, Winston said.
I dont think James Corden walks into your life twice.
This is a once-in- a-generation talent, he said.
Thats a reflection of the host.
The ones that succeed are good reflections of the person behind the desk.
Late-night as a genre, I think is sort of an overarching term because the world shifted around us…
Unlike his predecessors, Corden had a house band, led by the post-punk weirdo Reggie Watts.
It turned out pretty close to how I envisioned it.
We could be loose because whats expected of a late-night band?, he told Deadline.
He said the most fun he had on the show was asking President Barack Obama about aliens.
I didnt realize how heavy it was.
I hadnt realized that hed never said anything publicly about unidentified flying objects.
Then he just answered really honestly and I was totally blown out.
My Montana friends, my conspiracy friends were like Whoa, he said.
Were producers, right?
We always want more, said Winston.
Its not really about whether its happy or sad, or bittersweet, or any of those things.
It just fundamentally feels like what I have to do for my kids.
Thats the truth of it.
We just have to go home.
