Just about a year since he took the brave step of crossing the Atlantic to lead The Late, Late Show (to huge success by the way), Sky and CBS Studios International are bringing “The Late Late Show with James Corden” to the U.K. and Ireland for the first time, as part of a new agreement for the exclusive rights to the hit U.S. series.
According to an official statement, from the 19th July, all Sky TV and NOW TV entertainment pass customers can enjoy full episodes of the destination weeknight chat show with host James Corden on demand, one day after its broadcast in the U.S.
In addition, Sky 1 will exclusively broadcast “The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special” on the 19th July featuring Corden’s favourite moments from his first year in late night, and highlights from his Carpool Karaoke segments with Adele, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey.
“The Late Late Show” throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests from the world of film, TV, music and sports, as well as musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show.
Since the show’s U.S. launch in March 2015, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos. The show’s official YouTube channel has surpassed 1 billion total views, has 138 clips with more than one million views each and 6 million subscribers.
We cannot wait!
