James Corden, 43 is all set to quit the late-night talk show, The Late Late Show.

In March 2015, Corden took over as host of “The Late Late Show,” following Craig Ferguson‘s departure, who hosted the show for almost 10 years. Since taking over the reins, he has established one of the biggest names in late-night TV.

It’s been almost eight and a half years by the time he started hosting the CBS late-night series. Corden has extended his contract with CBS for one year but he’s set to depart ahead of summer 2023.

I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure,”
