James Corden bringing Late Late show to the UK
James Corden is set to bring ‘The Late Late Show’ to the UK.
The 38-year-old television personality will host three special episodes of the popular US chat show – which he fronts – in his home country in early June.
He said: "To bring ‘The Late Late Show’ to the UK is a dream come true for me. I’m incredibly proud of the show and we’re going to do our best to make this week in London memorable."
The episodes will be filmed at Westminster’s Central Hall and will air on June 7, 8 and 9 on Sky 1 and will also be available on NOW TV.
Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky 1, added: "I’m beyond excited that James and ‘The Late Late Show’ are coming to the UK for three very special episodes.
"James is hugely loved by the Sky 1 audience and it will be a proud moment for the channel to share what he and ‘The Late Late Show’ gang have in store for us."
It is thought these special one-off episodes will also feature Corden’s infamous Carpool Karaoke sessions, which have become a huge hit with celebrities and their fans alike.
Meanwhile, James previously admitted he is "very very humbled" by the success of ‘The Late Late Show’.
He said: "I don’t know that there was anything I could read that would make me more nervous than I was or want to make a better show. I just wanted to make the best show I could, you know? I felt like we had a good team and the only positive you can take is you’re not starting on a negative.
"I feel very, very humbled by it. I’m very proud of the two years we’ve had. I think it surpassed anybody’s hopes or estimations of what we could have achieved.
"Now that people know what the show is [it’s easier]. I think when we launched our first week, we didn’t have anyone booked for week two because people were like, ‘I don’t know who this guy is. Slowly but surely, we’ve been able to turn that around and I feel like we’re now a place where people want to come and they want to come back and that’s lovely."
