James Corden signs off final Late Late Show with message for America
James Corden has bid farewell to his US late-night talk show after eight years, with a final episode featuring guests including Harry Styles, Will Ferrell and President Joe Biden. Ferrell and Styles smashed up the Late Late Show host’s desk, while Biden sent a video message joking he was “surprised you lasted eight years in any job”.
In his own message, Corden urged US viewers not to give in to people who are “trying to stoke differences” in the country. “Just because somebody disagrees with you it doesn’t make them bad or evil,” he said.
Adele returned for a final instalment of Carpool Karaoke, which aired as an hour-long special before the main show.
Harry Styles was asked if he thinks One Direction will ever reunite. He said: If there was a time when we all felt like that was what we wanted to do, then I don’t see why we wouldn’t.”
“I’m taking that as a yes!” Corden responded.
The British pop star told Corden he was “very proud of everything you’ve done” and that the presenter had been an “inspiration”.
“Selfishly, I’m very happy that you’re coming home, I love you so much,” he said, before the pair embraced.
