LOS ANGELES — 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 might take next, said the late-night show “has changed my life. … I am so proud of what we’ve achieved. It’s been beyond my wildest, wildest dreams.”

He’ll 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 including Adele and Paul McCartney performed sing-alongs on the road.

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 that airs weeknights at 12:37 a.m. Eastern in spring 2023.
