thank you
hey gang how are you
um thanks for this here's the news
I've I've signed a new
contract with the Late Late Show
um
and it will be my last contract that I
signed as the host of this show
um
and the show will stop
in a year's time
there's two there's too many things to
say there's too many things I'd like to
say it's too much
love
for real as we come to the end of it I
am
unbelievably sad that it's coming to an
end but also full of understanding why
the time might be right to bring it to a
close and just thankful for the amazing
times we've all had it's set I'm sad the
show's ending it's been such a great
experience and it's such a wonderful
group of people I'm so proud of all the
work we've done here and I'm like
impressed by James so like walk away and
move on because it's not easy to do
always always known that one day I will
be stood here for the last time I think
all good things need to come to an end
that if you go on forever
you lose what makes you special it's
very rare in television that you get to
call your own shots and I think it's
really
amazing that James he's going to go no
no that's it I've done my time gratitude
is is the word that comes across first
you know eventually I think you'll think
about the Legacy that we've left in late
night which is you know 70 years worth
of television and like the show's gonna
stand out that phrase in The Late Late
Show won't exist on CBS anymore it is a
franchise that's been around for 30
years it's always sad to wind down a
franchise and even though it's ending I
think that it deserves its spot in the
history of the format The Late Late Show
starring Tom Snyder
[Applause]
28 years ago I was at the very first
Late Late Show with Tom Snyder and now I
will be at the last Late Late Show with
James Corden Tim has directed every
every single episode of The Late Late
Show we've got an 80 job with Tom Snyder
was ad for Craig Kilbourne then became
deck director of Craig Ferguson and is
now the director of this show right now
I feel so fortunate to have been on this
show for so long I mean I put 28 years
into the show and started at the bottom
and now to be fortunate enough to direct
the show and to spend the last eight
years with the most talented people the
people here the environment that's been
created is far greater than anything we
have ever put on screen this is a real
family unit of people who really love
working here they love each other it's a
really beautiful experience that I think
will be hard to rival the fundamental
thing that I will miss more than
anything I've got to go to work with
absolute friends and make friendships
that I will carry the rest of time TV is
one of those jobs where when you're in
production it's kind of unlike many
others because it's so intense doing a
late night show is like sprinting a
marathon it is exhausting and it is like
never ending you're working with people
all hours day every day for so many
years so it's obviously very sad and to
say goodbye to all these people because
it's been such a family for so long
we're not leaving today we still have a
year to go and I am we are all
determined to make this the best year we
have ever had making this show we are
going to go out with a bang that's going
to be carpools and crosswalks and
sketches the thing as we're coming to
the end of the show it's hard to believe
that we're here already but I think it's
really really important how things end I
think it's really important that things
end in the manner that they began 48
shows ago
so I guess it's just how do we make sure
that these last 48 shows are like the
best ones we do and we just do
everything that we can do to make these
shows as memorable as they possibly can
be that's what today's about a way to be
away from the studio and to really just
put these Brilliant Minds together and
think about what we can do James has
done a lot of things that Tom Cruise
to a musical you my boy are in
the theater James would integrate Tom
Cruise into the musical make him do like
a tap okay well there is something
really funny in the theory of that I've
done loads of you like I've jumped out
of planes I've done this I've read and
I've done this I've done that now it's
time for you to do stuff that I like and
it's like all that stuff we will perform
live in The Lion King
it's it's just crazy I mean you have
Maverick standing there like giving you
two days to shoot a lion king thing
we're not young what
Tom Cruise is someone who pushes us to
be the best that we can because he wants
everything to be as good as it can be
and it's time for our last adventure
together and I
there's really no need for us to be
friends after you've finished it you
look me in the eyes and tell me I'm
wrong when Mission Impossible 17 comes
out you're not gonna you're not gonna
think of me now you're not gonna think
of me you're going to be off base
jumping with bow and yang it is
he's one of the stars that puts so much
into it that it really makes everyone be
on top of their game and we want to be
the best we can for him and he's the
best he can be for us
you all have brought so much joy to so
many people you're so enormously
talented and I always have an incredible
time and I'm telling you this is not the
end of our creative relationship
he's a mate I mean he's amazing I love
you too
so we should also think about some of
our like Classic Bits carpool and be
like who haven't we done yet as we'll do
Bad Bunny we'll do that when I was ex
James is there a crosswalk you want to
do before it ends I'm Singing in the
Rain we're looking oh yeah
the other day
is Hollywood yeah it's about Hollywood
crosswalk is one of our biggest and most
ambitious pieces that we do when it
first started there's an idea by our
co-head writer Ian Carmel which was
let's just put on a show on the
crosswalk crosswalk started as like a
small production it was like James a few
other actors leather jackets and like
not a whole lot of props and over the
years it's evolved and evolved and we've
had Stars such as Will Smith and the
cast of Beauty and the Beast and Adina
Menzel running out onto a crosswalk
singing songs in front of actual traffic
and then running off across walking we
flew to Paris Indiana we've done it in
New York London like it's become like a
gigantic bed it's funny and big and
ambitious and everything we've tried to
do and it's so much fun to produce it is
the fun
crosswalk the joy we have
had making magic pushing the envelope
it's just been a dream come true and I'm
so thankful for James Corden and your
huge vision and the entire team
foreign
[Applause]
we're here to tell you you can't just
leave a talk show another life goes on
WE James and then what follows is like a
grilling about leaving late night if
we're gonna let you leave we need to
know you'll keep our sacred secrets and
then what do you know you know that we
don't actually read the books we know
that we've never watched any of the
movies you know that we don't find any
of the jokes funny the fake laugh we all
have for when a guest tells a story that
isn't funny
maybe they cut off a finger
I have as many as we wanted in that
sketch sort of the late popping on
Darkness you can shoot them all over the
place yeah I think it's brilliant God
did speak to me and he told me I don't
need to be in this bit it's essentially
the sketch we did on episode one where
James is like learning how to video
What It Takes probably not but it's the
end of it now you're leaving and this is
what happens to you it has been an honor
to share this time slot with you for the
last eight years you have done so many
inventive things with this format that
nobody did before and you're really
going to be missed it was great having
you in this family I always like this
song you did at the end of episode one
yes and I think that might also be an
effective sweet way of ending the 1237
version of our show on our last day my
name is James Corden and tonight's who
dreams came true to look like I can play
piano and to host this show for you so
good night
thanks for watching
that's our show
it feels a bit like you know when you
watch those like slow motion videos of a
crash test dummy where you absolutely
know what's coming but it's still like
25 shows away or whatever
so like the damage is sort of going like
this and you're like oh you're about to
have a real impact something's coming
it's going it just takes ages before
their face like and then suddenly they
just go
it feels like that you're like
strapped in
looking at everyone you love and you're
driving the car that's how it feels I'm
really really just trying to keep it
together realize what a privilege it is
to say goodbye in the manner that we are
right now I'm really proud that we went
100 for the entire run of this show from
day one starting with Tom Hanks doing
roll call to you know the very last show
where we have Tom Cruise doing The Lion
King it has been
100 miles an hour I think the last show
will say it all it will be exactly
like the first it will be
entertaining
joyful
and everything
