For the past eight years, British celebrity James Corden has hosted the Late Late Show in Los Angeles, however he recently returned to London.
James Corden’s eight-year run on US television ended with an impassioned monologue about “divisions” in America.
After closing up his stint on The Late Late Show on Thursday night, the Gavin and Stacey and talk show star fell into tears.
James Corden brought special guests Harry Styles and Will Ferrell to the studio for his final show, and he even got a surprise message from President Joe Biden.
It was time to say farewell with one final message to his millions of viewers after an emotional Carpool Karaoke experience with Adele and getting his desk demolished by the Anchorman star.
“We started with Obama, then Trump, then a global pandemic,” he said.
“Over the past five years, I have seen a lot of change in America; I have seen conflicts grow and a sense of negativity.
“All I’m really trying to say is please keep in mind what America stands for to the rest of the world. It has always been a source of hope and joy in my life.”
In order to host the CBS institution, Corden first took over “The Late Late Show” from Craig Ferguson in 2015 and relocated his family to Los Angeles.
He is now returning to the UK, but he expressed gratitude to the country that has been his home for nearly a decade.
Sure, it has weaknesses,” he added. “Show me a country where. Every one of us is a work in progress.
Just because someone disagrees with you, it doesn’t make them bad or evil. Many people are attempting to encourage those divisions.
Corden ended the night by playing an emotional song on the piano that summed up his time hosting the show.
At the end of the performance, he burst into tears and received a standing ovation from the audience.
