When James Corden departs his late-night collection this spring, he’s taking The Late Late Present with him. That’s based on a report from Deadline, which states that as a substitute of changing the Carpool Karaoke creator or embarking on a visitor host interval à la The Day by day Present, a brand new collection will take The Late Late Present’s 12:30 a.m. time slot.

Though the unique iteration of the collection was hosted by Chris Hardwick, he’s uninvolved with the brand new model, based on Deadline. (Hardwick’s AMC collection Speaking Useless was briefly pulled from the air in 2018, after the host was {accused} of emotional abuse by an ex-girlfriend; following an inside investigation, he was reinstated. He has denied the claims.)
Stephen Colbert, who hosts The Late Present, will govt produce the reboot along with fulfilling comparable duties on the Comedy Central collection Tooning Out the Information and Hell of a Week with Charlamagne The God. (Vainness Truthful has reached out to CBS for remark.)

The Late Late Present initially launched in 1995 with host Tom Snyder, who was succeeded by Craig Kilborn. Corden introduced his exit from The Late Late Present final April, telling his reside studio viewers: “After I began this journey, it was all the time going to be simply that. It was going to be a journey, an journey. I by no means noticed it as my remaining vacation spot, you already know? And I by no means need this present to overstay its welcome in any approach. I all the time need to love making it.”
