Corden is leaving the show after an eight-season run.

On Thursday night, James Corden, longtime host of late-night talk show The Late Late Show announced that after seven years and eight seasons as the show’s host, his time with it is coming to an end. Corden will be giving up his seat for a new host some time in 2023.

“When I started this journey, it was always going to be just that. It was going to be a journey, an adventure. I never saw it as my final destination,” he said. “I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way. I always want to love making it. And I really think in a year from now, that will be a good time to move on and see what else might be out there.”

“Seven years ago, James Corden came to the US and took television by storm, with huge creative and comedic swings that resonated in a big way with viewers on-air and online,” George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS, told CNN.

“In my two years at CBS, I’ve had the privilege to see James’ creative genius up close and experience his valuable partnership with CBS, both as a performer and a producer,” Cheeks added. “We wish he could stay longer, but we are very proud he made CBS his American home and that this partnership will extend one more season on ‘The Late Late Show.’”

Corden plans to make his final season with the show one to remember to he can “go out with a bang.”
