Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

    Karaoke Carpool was brilliant and I think the singers enjoyed them as much as the audience. It gave a them chance to let their hair down and be themselves which of course the audience loved. Thank you James for all the great memories!
  • @cmel7841
    the Paul segment was absolute genius, one of the most influential musicians in the history of music, seriously. I was born in the 60s and the Beatles have been a part of my life the entire time.

    I cried days and days after The Ellen Show was cancelled. And now The Late Late show comes to an end... I can't believe all of this is happening right now. These two were always my favorites .All the things that used to bring me joy are gone. May peace flood your heart. Because of you my parents still have a son. Thank you.... ❤️‍🩹

    Love the segment and McCartney is definitely my favorite. I've experienced it four times and I cry every time. It's literally one of the best McCartney interviews I've witnessed, and I have watched many over the decades. It's tactile and emotional and then there is a huge payoff at the end 🎉
  • Does this make anyone else smile??? I LOVE these stories & hearing the creative ahas of the behind the scenes! It's like hearing how magic evolved into a success! Joy, energy, and having fun are high vibes and this segment brought that! James is so incredibly creative and so was his team! Wishing you all the best.
  • Why are u leaving I loved your show but thx for all the great memories 😢😭😭😭😭
  • Honestly he just needs to bring the same Show back to the uk and everyone but the cbs will be happy - love James Cardon xxx
  • What an achievement from such a talented team, I didn't realize until I watched this just how quick James is in responding to the artist with the perfect response and the craft he uses to get the best of every moment. Congrats to the whole team, Outstanding.

    Love, love, love carpool karaoke ❤. I will miss this show for so many reasons. Thanks for all of the smiles and joy you have shared these past 8 years. We flew from Michigan to be at the show on Monday of the last week, so glad we got the opportunity to be there 🙏

    Carpool Karaoke was so loved because of how it brings the stars we admire down to our regular people level. I love to sing in the car.... I look like a crazy woman giving a concert to my kids in the back, and I don't care. That is why it's so much fun to watch. I will miss this so much.
  • That Paul McCarthy one had me in tears. What a special Epic experience 🎉 Carpool Karaoke should be it’s own show with James. Come on James ❤🎉 once you get all settle back home 🏡 Perhaps this could be your next gig??? 😊
  • The Paul McCartney segment was so special. I had a show that was airing on POP at the time (Viacom) so I knew I was going to promote the segment when I saw that it was coming. When we got it, I remember playing it in the studio and bawling uncontrollably. Such a visceral reaction. Then I cried again when we taped the show and the clip aired. And since then, I’ve watched it probably a dozen times. It never gets old. It’s so well done. The Beatles and Paul are special to me… something I share with my Dad, who was 9 when they were on The Ed Sullivan show. I knew what James’ was feeling when he was talking about his Dad and Grandpa. Even tho I wasn’t sitting next to Paul, I felt as though I were. And when James looks at Paul when he’s singing “Blackbird,” I felt that too. Thankful the segment exists to watch any time.

    I discovered James Corden for the first time when i came across the CPK episode with Adele. It was absolute magic. Fell in love with them both. ❤

    Farewell to my fave late night show. Farewell to my fave TV segment. And of course, the best TV host, James Corden.
  • @WSK9002
    As someone whose hometown is Los Angeles, something most people from California do from Sacramento to San Diego, is play music in the Autos, especially with their buddies/friends. Also, being a Musical Theatre kid we did Carpool Karaoke before that was a term, so that segment really resonated with me. Peace Out James Corden, if I had the Money that he had I would want to be closer to my Godmother, so I do not blame him for going, much love to him and his Family.
  • I absolutely loved this show. It will be missed. The banter between James and the band and the staff from covid onwards was something to behold!
