James Corden Extends 'Late Late Show' Contract, Will Host Until 2022

James Corden is sticking around as the host of The Late Late Show after signing an extension through 2022 with a significant pay bump, Variety reports.

His current contract, which saw him earning in the $4 million-$5 million range, was set to expire after the 2019-20 television season.

“James Corden has burned his way to the top of American television with a daring, energetic and inventive broadcast that stands out in the late night space,” CBS chief creative office David Nevins said in a statement. “He is a host and performer whose considerable talents shine on every stage, and he has created a cutting-edge comedy factory with shows that have resonated across multiple platforms. James and his shows are a great source of pride to CBS, and it’s exciting to extend our relationship well into the future.”

One fun fact is that numerous late night hosts have contracts expiring in 2022 including Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, and Samantha Bee.
