Although James Corden has officially left the Late Late Show, executive producer Ben Winston hopes that one segment will remain popular.
The chat show host’s show ended on Thursday, April 27, but it did so with a bang, with a slew of star guests including Harry Styles and Will Ferrell.
In the last eight years, fans have seen the Gavin and Stacey actor, 44, welcome Hollywood’s elite on his iconic Carpool Karaoke segment, including Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Michelle Obama, Britney Spears, and many more.
And worldwide megastar Adele, 34, was the last act to join the presenter on the streets of Los Angeles.
Despite James’ absence from future cameos, producer Ben indicated that fans are set for a treat.
When asked if he thought the programme would still be successful without the Late Late programme host, he told Metro.co.uk, ‘I sincerely hope so.’
‘I enjoy doing that programme over on [Apple], and we’re releasing another season,’ he said of the Apple TV Plus spin-off, which generally has two celebrities, aka duos we never knew we needed, singing along to timeless classics.
‘We’ve done about 60 episodes, so six seasons, we launched a new season coming up….Brian Cox from Succession has done one with Alan Cumming and there are some major stars coming. I hope people that haven’t watched the Apple Carpool series will go check it out.’
He continued: ‘Like Snoop Dogg doing it with Matthew McConaughey, Jason Sudeikis has done it with the Muppets. It’s worth watching that!
‘There’s been such amazing people that have done that show, I’m really excited for it continuing and I hope it does for many years.’
Ben recently announced that the Late Late Show crew was on the verge of landing Beyonce on the popular segment.
‘We were close at one time and we thought it was going to happen and we were going to do it, and then dates changed and it didn’t end up happening,’ he said.
‘She doesn’t do very much publicly, so it was going to be a tough one, so she’s the one that got away.’
The Late Late Show with James Corden continues its final week on CBS.
