James Corden bids emotional farewell to 'The Late Late Show'

After eight years and numerous Emmy awards, James Corden's time as host of "The Late Late Show" has come to an end. The English host and actor announced his departure from the show, which was home to segments known as Carpool Karaoke, last April. He later revealed that his desire to spend more time with his family prompted the move.

"It was going to be a journey, an adventure. I never saw it as my final destination."

On Thursday night, the 44-year-old comic got emotional as he prepared to vacate the venue that made him a household name. The primetime special featured A-list guests Harry Styles, Adele and Will Ferrell and a surprise video message from President Joe Biden and Corden's parents were in the audience. While his decision to leave the show during a hit US late-night show surprised many, Corden revealed that "one positive" of leaving the show is that he "can finally get some good sleep of the night". In his emotional farewell speech, the father of three also touched on his journey as host of the show.

"We started this show with Obama, then Trump, then a global pandemic. I've seen America change so much. Over these last few years, I've seen divisions grow and I've seen and felt a sense of the bubble of negativity and the drops that boil."

Corden implored his audience to “remember what America means to the rest of the world. My whole life has always been a place of optimism and joy. And yes, it has flaws, so many, but tell me one place that doesn't. Show me one person who doesn't.” Corden continued:

"We are all more the same than we are different. There are so many people who are trying to push those differences and we have to try as best we can to seek the light, to seek the joy. If you do, it's out there. That's all this show has ever been."

He described his move to America as "a big leap" and thanked CBS for giving him the life-changing opportunity. Corden ended his final appearance by performing a piano ballad as a video montage of his best moments on the show.

"Part of me thinks why not stay here forever, but deep in my heart I just know. There's no more shows to put on, it's time for me to go. The time has come. Thanks for watching, this is our show. "
