James Corden’s Net Worth: He Gave Up 8 Figures Leaving ‘The Late Late Show’

stylecaster.com:

A British comedian and popular talk show host, he’s been a household name in the entertainment industry for years. With his infectious humor and impressive range of talents, James Corden’s net worth is hardly surprising—but it could’ve been even higher had he not decided to end his time on The Late Late Show after just eight years.

Corden burst onto the scene in March 2015 when he took over from Craig Ferguson as the host of the popular talk show, launching his viral Carpool Karaoke series in 2015 with Mariah Carey, but it was guest Adele in 2016 that provided the year’s biggest moment on YouTube.

In a subsequent episode when music legend Paul McCartney sat in the passenger seat, it earned him a Primetime Emmy Award and a nomination for Outstanding Variety Special. “I just always felt he was made for” the segment, Corden told Variety of McCartney at the time. “Genuinely every day since that went out, somebody somewhere has talked to me about it.

It’s rare to have a segment on a late-night talk show that would seep into the public consciousness in that way.” For his contributions to the entertainment industry, in a career that would eventually include 22 Primetime Emmy nominations and the host of the 70th Tony Awards, Corden was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2015.
