We have our own Late Late Show Show, Corden! Although this isn't exactly the same deal. James Corden has made waves stateside over the past year with his late night talk show, mainly down to the popularity of his segment Carpool Karaoke.
Our viewing of his show is normally reduced to a few YouTube clips the day after its aired, but now we can watch the whole thing as Sky have announced today that they have gained exclusive rights to the U.S. series.
From the 19th July, all Sky TV customers can enjoy full episodes of the weeknight chat show on demand, one day after its broadcast in the U.S.
As well as that, Sky 1 will exclusively broadcast "The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special" on the 19th July, featuring Corden’s favourite moments from his first year in late night, and highlights from his Carpool Karaoke segments with Adele, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey.
Since the show’s U.S. launch in March 2015, "The Late Late Show with James Corden" has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos. The show’s official YouTube channel has surpassed 1 billion total views, has 129 clips with more than one million views each and 5 ½ million subscribers.
Gary Davey, Managing Director, Sky Content, commented: "The Late Late Show has become a global cultural phenomenon and the UK audience has delighted in James’ runaway stateside success. There is a huge appetite from UK and Ireland fans to enjoy the antics of The Late Late Show first hand and we are thrilled to exclusively bring the show direct to our customers."
