Comedian James Corden to leave his CBS late-night show next year
The comedian's contract was due to expire in August but he agreed to host the show for one more season that will run through spring of next year
British comedian James Corden said on Thursday he will exit 'The Late Late Show' on CBS television in 2023 after eight years as host to explore other opportunities.
Corden announced the news during an episode taping in Los Angeles. He told a studio audience that he saw the show, which he began hosting in 2015, as an 'adventure' and not his 'final destination' in entertainment.
"I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way," Corden said in a clip released on YouTube. "I always want to love making it. And I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on and see what else might be out there."

The comedian's contract was due to expire in August but he agreed to host the show for one more season that will run through spring of next year.
Corden promised his remaining shows would be a "blast" filled with sketches and surprises.
