CBS extends James Corden contract

US network CBS has signed a new agreement with The Late Late Show host James Corden, keeping him in the job until August 2022.

UK-born Corden took over hosting the show from Craig Ferguson in 2015 after moving from his homeland where he co-created and co-wrote popular sitcom Gavin & Stacey.

“James Corden has burned his way to the top of American television with a daring, energetic and inventive broadcast that stands out in the late-night space,” said David Nevins, chief creative officer at CBS Corp.

“He is a host and performer whose considerable talents shine on every stage, and he has created a cutting-edge comedy factory with shows that have resonated across multiple platforms.”

Corden reinvented The Late Late Show when he took over the hosting role and this year received the most individual Emmy nominations, with seven. He has won seven Emmys overall since 2015 after being nominated 22 times.

He will return to British television in an one-off Gavin & Stacey Christmas special later this year.

CBS Television Studios produces The Late Late Show with James Corden, which airs weeknights. Ben Winston and Rob Crabbe are the executive producers.
