Corden leaving late-night CBS show
James Corden said he will be bowing out of his late-night CBS TV show next year, calling it a “good time to move on and see what else might be out there.”
Corden announced his decision during the taping of Thursday’s “The Late Late Show,” which he began hosting in 2015.
“When I started this journey, it was always going to be just that. It was going to be a journey, an adventure. I never saw it as my final destination, you know?” he said. “And I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way. I always want to love making it.”
Corden, who didn’t offer details on what course his career may take next, will remain with the show for another year, he said, promising that it will “go out with a bang” and, he predicted, with “so many tears.”
In a statement, CBS President and CEO George Cheeks lauded Corden for taking “huge creative and comedic swings,” including the “Carpool Karaoke” videos in which Corden and pop stars performed singalongs on the road.
The network had no further comment, including on who might replace Corden. The show’s previous host was Craig Ferguson.
Corden’s contract was to expire this August, but the London-born actor and writer extended the agreement for another season. He will leave the show in spring 2023.
Bieber has heart procedure:
Hailey Bieber underwent a heart procedure after suffering a “very scary incident” last month, she
shared in a YouTube video on Wednesday.
The model said she experienced a transient ischemic attack, which is often referred to as a mini-stroke, on March 10 while she has having breakfast with her husband, pop star Justin Bieber.
Hailey Bieber didn’t say where they were when the incident occurred, but said a doctor was present. She was later hospitalized, and underwent a series of tests.
Doctors believe the transient ischemic attack was the result of Bieber recently having COVID-19, traveling back and forth to Paris, and having begun birth-control pills despite previously suffering from migraines. She described it as “a perfect storm that led to me having a small blood clot.”
The blood clot managed to travel to her brain, Bieber said, because she had a small opening in her heart. She has since undergone a procedure to close the opening. “I’m recovering really well, really fast,” Bieber said.
