James Corden ‘won’t be replaced’ on The Late Late Show when he quits for UK in 2023
thesun.co.ukJAMES Corden won’t be replaced on The Late Late Show when he finishes his tenure to return home next year. Instead, reports in the US suggest that CBS, who screen the talk show, will scrap the programme altogether and fill the gap in their schedule with a panel show.
Variety.com say that CBS is “considering replacing Corden’s distinct program with a multi-host panel”, which they says is “a sign of how late-night is changing as viewers sample the best of the programs via social media rather than watching them in their wee hours’ time slot”.
Their sources suggest concepts that could inspire the new show are news round tables like Bill Maher’s ABC show in the Nineties, Politically Incorrect, Chelsea Handler’s gossip show Chelsea Lately and Comedy Central’s gameshow @midnight.
