It’s the premiere of The Late Late Show. The production team has been furiously prepping this live event for months. As the clock ticks away, getting closer and closer to air time, everyone starts to take their places – A relatively unknown UK host is left alone with his microphone, ready to take over the show in front of millions of viewers. America is about to be introduced, for the first time, to the very funny and highly unpredictable – James Cordon.

Ben Winston, the youngest show runner in the history of late-night TV and Rob Crabbe, the former Supervising Producer on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” are the Executive Producers of the Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS, a variety show which made it’s US television debut in 2015, after a really successful run with Craig Ferguson as the host for almost a decade.

It airs at the not so convenient time of 12:30am, but has 16 million subscribers on YouTube channel, and it’s interviews, performances and skits have almost 5 billion views.  Not bad for a show that’s on literally first thing in the morning or super late at night – depends on how you look at it.

In case you’ve been living under a rock or avoiding major highways, James Corden, from the UK, became famous for the show’s recurring segment called Carpool Karaoke.  In this hugely popular skit, Corden invites famous musicians to ride shotgun and sing along with him to their own songs.  Adele, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Cardi B, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna are just a few car crooners who have belted out tunes while belted in.
