'''''The Late Late Show''''' is<!--do not change, I will know. Even if it ended, it still exists; see MOS:TVNOW--> an [[Television in the United States|American]] [[late-night talk show|late-night television talk and variety comedy show]] that aired from January 9, 1995 to April 27, 2023 on [[CBS]]. [[Tom Snyder]] was the show's first host, followed by [[Craig Kilborn]], [[Craig Ferguson]], and [[James Corden]]. The show originated from [[Television City]] in [[Los Angeles]].
==Format==
The show differed from most late-night talk shows during its first two decades on air in that it did not use a [[house band]] or an in-studio announcer. The traditional opening [[monologue]] also tended to be different from that of other late night shows tending to avoid jokes with punch lines during Snyder and Ferguson's tenures in favor of a short conversational introduction when Snyder was host and a [[cold opening]] featuring either a musical parody, audience interaction, a short sketch or interaction between Ferguson and [[Geoff Peterson]] followed by an anecdotal stream of consciousness introduction during most of Ferguson's years. While Craig Kilborn opened with a monologue it tended to be shorter than that used by other late shows. Corden's approach to the monologue was a hybrid of topical punchline jokes and a stream of consciousness, although it was usually very short, as the show tended to favor longer recorded sections.
While most late-night talk shows in the United States feature multiple guests individually, James Corden typically had all of his guests on at the same time in a similar fashion to most British talk shows.
==History==
===Tom Snyder (1995–1999)===
[[Tom Snyder]] hosted the program from its inception in January 1995 until March 1999. The choice of Snyder as host was made by [[David Letterman]], whose contract with CBS gave him (via production company [[Worldwide Pants]]) the power to produce the show in the timeslot immediately after his own program and who had an affinity for Snyder, whose NBC late night series ''[[The Tomorrow Show|Tomorrow]]'' had been succeeded by ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]''. The time slot on CBS previously carried repeats of ''[[Crimetime After Primetime]]''. Snyder departed [[CNBC]] to host the ''Late Late Show'' on CBS.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-01-09/features/1995009116_1_tom-snyder-show-with-tom-late-late|title=After a lo-o-o-ong wait, it's Tom Snyder TURNED ON IN L.A.|last=Zurawik|first=David|date=9 January 1995|work=[[The Baltimore Sun]]|access-date=7 May 2015}}</ref>
Letterman and Snyder had a long history together: a 1978 ''[[The Tomorrow Show|Tomorrow]]'' episode hosted by Snyder was almost exclusively devoted to a long interview with up-and-coming new comedy talents Letterman, [[Billy Crystal]] and [[Merrill Markoe]]. And in 1982, when ''Tomorrow'' was canceled by NBC, Letterman's series ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]'' succeeded ''Tomorrow'' in the timeslot, and Snyder had been offered but refused a move to after ''Late Night'' by NBC.
Snyder's show featured a mix of celebrities, politicians and other newsmakers, but was otherwise quite unlike the program hosted by Letterman. Snyder was a former newsman, not a comedian, and his show featured an intimate [[interview]] format with no studio audience present, similar to his old ''Tomorrow'' show of the 1970s, or to ''[[Charlie Rose (show)|Charlie Rose]]'' show and ''[[Later (talk show)|Later]]'', which had abandoned the format the previous year and had followed ''Late Night'' under Letterman on NBC. Though the show lacked a studio audience, Snyder still frequently gave extended conversational monologues, many of which contained jokes that prompted audible laughter from the off-camera production staff. Without the need for an audience, the show originated from the intimate Studio 58 at CBS Television City.
Throughout most of the show's run, it was also [[simulcast]] over some [[CBS Radio]] stations,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbsradio.com/latelate/index.html |title=Late Late Show With Tom Snyder And Steve Mason |access-date=30 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981206122814/http://www.cbsradio.com/latelate/index.html |archive-date=December 6, 1998 }}</ref> and Snyder accepted calls from viewers/listeners somewhat in the manner of [[Larry King]]; to accommodate this, the show was broadcast live in the Eastern and Central United States and on radio in the west, a rarity for late-night talk shows that had otherwise transitioned to tape, though due to existing syndication contracts and resistance to give up local control of timeslots, many stations, such as [[WJZ-TV]] in Baltimore, would delay it to as late as 3:05 a.m. When Snyder was on vacation, the show featured guest hosts such as [[Jon Stewart]] or [[Janeane Garofalo]].
Saxophonist [[David Sanborn]] composed and performed the theme music and several other songs featured on the show, all of which were [[smooth jazz]] pieces to fit the show's low-key, middle-of-the-night mood. Sanborn had previously been a guest saxophonist in [[CBS Orchestra|The World's Most Dangerous Band]] during ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]''. Unlike other late-night shows, ''The Late Late Show'' did not have a [[house band]] (a tradition that carried on to its iterations under Kilborn and Ferguson) or any announcer, except for the last episode, when Snyder allowed one of his staff members to announce an introduction.
Letterman had offered the ''Late Late'' spot to [[Garry Shandling]], a former permanent guest host of ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', but Shandling turned the offer down in favor of ''[[The Larry Sanders Show]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/garry-shandling#|title=Garry Shandling|work=Archive of American Television|date=22 October 2017}}</ref> (NBC had previously approached Shandling about succeeding Letterman on ''[[Late Night (NBC)|Late Night]]'' but he had also declined that offer, the job ultimately went to [[Conan O'Brien]]). He also offered the slot to ''Later'' host [[Bob Costas]] who also declined.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://articles.latimes.com/1995-01-01/entertainment/ca-15250_1_late-night|title=TELEVISION : Doesn't Tom Snyder Ever Say Good Night? : The radio-TV veteran returns to the late late-night spot that made him famous. So, will this move be a step back--or a step back to his former glory?|first=Rick Du|last=Brow|date=1 January 1995|via=LA Times}}</ref>
Letterman then insisted on Snyder despite CBS wanting a younger host with a comedy background and a more traditional late night talk variety format.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.philly.com/1994-07-20/entertainment/25845917_1_lassally-and-robert-morton-cnbc-s-tom-snyder-andy-friendly|title=Tom Snyder To Follow The Letterman Show? It's Being Discussed|work=philly-archives}}</ref> In 1998, the network reportedly reasserted its desire for a host who could attract a younger demographic and asked Worldwide Pants not to renew Snyder's contract when it expired in September 1999,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nndb.com/people/421/000022355/|title=Tom Snyder|work=nndb.com}}</ref> though other reports portray the decision to leave as Snyder's decision,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ca.eonline.com/news/36345/daily-show-guy-goes-late-late-show|title=Daily Show Guy Goes Late Late Show|work=E! Online|date=May 1998}}</ref> with Snyder informing management that he wished to depart before his contract ended, as early as January 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/1998/tv/news/cbs-taps-kilborn-for-snyder-slot-1117470390/|title=CBS taps Kilborn for Snyder slot|author=Richard Katz|work=Variety|date=4 May 1998}}</ref> Snyder would return to CBS to guest-host some episodes of the ''Late Show'' while Letterman recuperated from heart surgery in 2000.
Longtime late night television producer [[Peter Lassally]] was executive producer of Snyder's iteration of the program and mentored [[Jon Stewart]] when he was a guest host filling in for Snyder.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Host Whisperer |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/arts/television/17stei.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&|access-date=February 21, 2015|work=New York Times|date=July 17, 2005}}</ref>
==={{anchor|The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn}}Craig Kilborn (1999–2004)===
When Snyder announced he was leaving, the show was reformatted to resemble ''Letterman'' and other major late-night talk programs. [[Craig Kilborn]] took over in March 1999, having left ''[[The Daily Show]]'' (where he was succeeded by [[Jon Stewart]]) to become the new ''Late Late Show'' host (previously he was an anchor on [[ESPN]]'s ''[[SportsCenter]]'').
When Kilborn was on the show, it began with an image of a [[full moon]] wavering behind gray [[stratus cloud]]s, to the tuning of an orchestra, while the announcer—the recorded, modulated voice of Kilborn himself—blurted out, ''"From the gorgeous, gorgeous [[Hollywood Hills]] in sunny [[California]], it's your ''Late Late Show'' with Craig Kilborn. Tonight,"'' and then the guests were announced, backed by the show's theme song, composed by [[Neil Finn]].{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Then Kilborn was presented, ''"Ladies and gentlemen, *pause* Mister Craig Kilborn"'', with the 1970s [[disco]] band [[Wild Cherry (band)|Wild Cherry]] song "[[Play That Funky Music]]".
After Kilborn's [[stand-up comedy|stand-up]] [[monologue]], he walked to his "Bavarian oak desk"{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} while Finn's theme song continued playing with the chorus ''"The Late Late Show is starting. The Late Late Show is starting now."'' The "Desk Chat" was said{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} to be Craig's favorite part of the show.
During later seasons,{{specify|date=February 2013}} the opening consisted of shots of various Los Angeles hotspots accompanied by a new theme song performed and written by [[Chris Isaak]]. For this new theme song, Kilborn would be played to the desk with a chorus of ''"The Late Late Show is starting"''.
The show continued to originate from Studio 58 throughout Kilborn's tenure as host.
Segments included:{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}
* '''In the News:''' A news segment, whose theme song was [[Survivor (band)|Survivor's]] "[[Eye of the Tiger]]", where Kilborn would provide a humorous overview of the day's events. It was briefly called "The World of Whimsy" following the [[September 11th attacks]]. The segment also included characters such as the hoary and cherubic "Ewok Guy" or the [[rapping]] "PG&E" Lady.
* '''What Up?:''' A Friday segment where Kilborn and three other panelists discussed and joked about the news.
* '''To Blank with Love:''' Kilborn dedicated verses to different people and things
* '''Five Questions:''' Kilborn asked a geography question, a ''[[Match Game]]''-style "blank" question where the guest had to fill a blank with a word related to the guest, a "''Now think of other one''" question in which the guest had to guess what Kilborn had in mind. This segment was a holdover from Kilborn's previous job as the host of ''[[The Daily Show]]''.
* '''Tuesdays with Buddy''': Featuring [[Buddy Hackett]]
* '''Yambo:''' An elimination game between two guests. Kilborn would slowly walk in a circle around the two celebrity guests and randomly yell questions at them. A correct answer within three seconds earned them a point; three points won a game. Failure to answer or a wrong answer earned a strike; three strikes resulted in the opponent winning.
* '''The Weather with Petra Nemcova:''' Craig and Goldy would sometimes do a weather report with model [[Petra Němcová]]. The theme song was: "Petra, Petra tell us the weather, Tell us the weather to make us feel better. Petra, Petra, tell us whether we need to bring a jacket, or not."
Kilborn left the program on August 27, 2004, two weeks after surprising executives at CBS and Worldwide Pants by announcing after several weeks of talks that he was not seeking a contract renewal.<ref name=trib>{{cite news|title=For now, guests will fill Kilborn's chair|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-08-25/news/0408260057_1_worldwide-pants-replacement-for-craig-kilborn-guest-hosts|access-date=December 27, 2014|work=Chicago Tribune|date=August 25, 2004}}</ref> In a June 2010 interview, Kilborn stated that he left late-night television due to his belief that the late-night time slot was too crowded for him to succeed.<ref name="latenight">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxcZH5v9iUw|title=Craig Kilborn on Good Day LA (The Kilborn File)|publisher=[[YouTube]]|access-date=2010-10-31}}</ref> Executive Producer Peter Lasally later claimed that Kilborn quit because he did not get the raise he wanted.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c4C13ohOBU</ref>
===Transition (September–December 2004)===
With Kilborn only announcing in early August that he would not be returning to the ''Late Late Show'' in the fall, CBS and Worldwide Pants executives decided to have a series of guest hosts helm the show in on-air auditions. While initially saying they would choose a permanent host by the end of October, the process ended up extending into December. [[Drew Carey]] was the first guest host on September 20, 2004, and again the following night.<ref name=carey/> Subsequent guest hosts included: [[Jason Alexander]], [[Jeff Altman]], [[Tom Arnold (actor)|Tom Arnold]], [[Michael Ian Black]], [[Tom Caltabiano]], [[Adam Carolla]], [[Tom Dreesen]], [[David Duchovny]], [[Damien Fahey]], [[Craig Ferguson]], [[Jim Gaffigan]], [[Ana Gasteyer]], [[David Alan Grier]], [[D. L. Hughley]], [[Lisa Joyner]], [[Donal Logue]], [[Rosie Perez]], [[Ahmad Rashad]], [[Jim Rome]], [[Aisha Tyler]], and ''The Late Late Show'' head writer Michael "Gibby" Gibbons<ref name=why>{{cite news|title=Why CBS Should Audition Its Potential 'Late Late Show' Hosts On Air Again|url=http://splitsider.com/2014/05/why-cbs-should-audition-its-potential-late-late-show-hosts-on-air-again/|access-date=December 27, 2014|work=SplitSider|date=May 29, 2014}}</ref> culminating in four finalists being involved for week long final tryouts: Craig Ferguson, D. L. Hughley, Damien Fahey, and Michael Ian Black. It was announced on December 7, 2004, that Ferguson, a [[Scotland|Scottish]] comedian best known from his role as Mr. Wick on ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'', was to become Kilborn's permanent replacement. [[David Letterman]] later said he made the selection based on the recommendation of [[Peter Lassally]].<ref>{{cite magazine | url = https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/22791344/dave_at_peace_the_rolling_stone_interview/print | title = Dave at Peace: The Rolling Stone Interview | date = September 18, 2008 | magazine = [[Rolling Stone]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080909092744/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/22791344/dave_at_peace_the_rolling_stone_interview/print | archive-date = 2008-09-09 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
Following the conclusion of the on-air auditions on December 3, 2004, guest hosts continued to fill out the roster until the end of the year and included: Jason Alexander, Donal Logue, David Alan Grier, [[Aisha Tyler]], [[Drew Carey]], [[Sara Rue]], [[John Witherspoon (actor)|John Witherspoon]], [[Joe Buck]], [[Susan Sarandon]], [[Don Cheadle]], [[Daryl Mitchell (actor)|Daryl Mitchell]], [[Bob Saget]], Jim Rome, Ana Gasteyer, Damien Fahey and D.L.

{{main|The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson}}
[[File:The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson logo.jpg|250px|left|thumb|''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson logo'']]
Under Craig Ferguson's tenure as host, the show started with a [[cold open]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_late_show/video/?pid=m9_QYYkgPjv_NGWurrs9Dj7iHrSgR82S |title=The Late Late Show Video — The Late Late Show |publisher=CBS.com |date= November 3, 2011 |access-date=2011-11-05}}</ref> followed by [[opening credits]] and a commercial break. A loose comic monologue then followed, consistently including a greeting ("Welcome to Los Angeles, California, welcome to the ''Late Late Show'', I am your host, TV's Craig Ferguson") and the proclamation that "It's a great day for America, everybody!".<ref name="stpete">{{cite web| title= Craig Ferguson a standout at standup| date= August 16, 2007| url= http://www.sptimes.com/2007/08/16/Tv/Ferguson_a_standout_l.shtml | publisher=[[St. Petersburg Times]]| access-date=2009-09-01 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070630142810/http://www.sptimes.com/2007/08/16/Tv/Ferguson_a_standout_l.shtml | archive-date = 2007-06-30 | url-status = live}}</ref>
From 2010 the monologue also included [[banter]] with [[Geoff Peterson]], his "robot skeleton [[sidekick]]", voiced and controlled by [[Josh Robert Thompson]]. This [[animatronic]] was constructed by the [[MythBusters]]' [[Grant Imahara]] but went through many revisions, the most important was the regular live control and voicing by Thompson. This changed the dynamic of the show as Ferguson had a recurring 'sidekick' to banter with.
After another commercial break, the banter continued with Ferguson sitting behind a desk. He usually read and responded to viewer e-mail and (since February 2010<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.csmonitor.com/Innovation/Horizons/2010/0209/With-CraigyFerg-Craig-Ferguson-leaps-into-the-Twitter-fray|title=With @CraigyFerg, Craig Ferguson leaps into the Twitter fray|work=[[Christian Science Monitor]] |date= February 9, 2010|access-date=2010-02-12}}</ref>) [[Twitter]] messages for random responses to viewer questions.
During segments Ferguson occasionally received phone calls (voiced by Thompson) from a variety of characters, including celebrities, the 'very shy' band (Alfredo Sauce and the Shy Fellas) allegedly hiding behind the set's curtain, room service, a duplicate Geoff, and Miriam, a possible stalker who confused Ferguson with former host [[Craig Kilborn]].
Ferguson called his Twitter followers his "robot skeleton army."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/geekend/?p=4260|title=Video: Craig Ferguson's Twitter followers and his robot-skeleton army|first=Mary|last=Weilage|publisher=TechRepublic|date=February 12, 2010|access-date=2010-02-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215191839/http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/geekend/?p=4260|archive-date=February 15, 2010|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
Generally one or two celebrities were interviewed; Ferguson started each by dramatically ripping up note cards written for the interview, "signalling to the audience, and to the guest, that this conversation need not be rigidly managed."<ref name="tvworth">{{cite web| url= http://www.tvworthwatching.com/blog/2009/03/latenight-tv-chess-thanks-to-a.shtml | title=Late-Night TV Chess: Thanks to a Bishop, Craig Ferguson Is King| date=March 2009 | work=TV Worth Watching| first=David |last=Bianculli | access-date=2009-09-01}}</ref> At the end of an interview, Ferguson usually asked his guest to engage in one of various rituals; options included "Awkward Pause", "Mouth Organ", "Guess What the Queen is Thinking", the "Big Cash Prize," or simply joining Ferguson in throwing [[Frisbee]]s at the show's "horse," [[Secretariat (Craig Ferguson)|Secretariat]] (actually two interns dressed in a pantomime horse costume).
Occasionally Craig requested Thompson (as Geoff) to interpret the thoughts of Secretariat or others, in one of a variety of celebrity voices, most notably [[Morgan Freeman]]. During a guest appearance, Morgan Freeman described Thompson's prompted vocal impression of himself as "impeccable".
Sometimes the show featured a [[stand-up comedy|stand-up comedian]] or a musical guest, the latter of which is typically pre-taped.<ref name="stpete"/>
Ferguson incorporated various [[running gag]]s. Early examples included themed weeks such as "Crab Week", "Magic Week" and "Shark Week". Shark Week was apparently a reference to [[Shark Week]] on the [[Discovery Channel]], and that channel, saying that Ferguson has always loved Shark Week, scheduled him for an appearance on August 4, 2010.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/shark-week/tv-shows.html|title=Happy SHARK WEEK, SHARK BITES: ADVENTURES IN SHARK WEEK| publisher= Discovery.com| access-date= 2010-07-30}}</ref> A "photo of [[Paul McCartney]]" joke (wherein Ferguson called for a photo of McCartney, which was actually a photo of actress [[Angela Lansbury]] and vice versa); the show often used variations of this gag featuring other pairs of look-alike celebrities, such as [[Cher]] being shown as [[Marilyn Manson]],<ref>e.g. [http://www.cbs.com/late_late_show/video/video.php?cid=583362836&pid=oNDEcTQekrUOz5cLG_AtlYooI4zkl_Jg&category=fullepisodes&play=true "Do we have a picture of Cher?"] from cbs.com{{Dead link|date=December 2013}}</ref> and a picture of [[Ann Coulter]] being shown whenever Ferguson requested a photo of [[Tom Petty]].
The show ended with "What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?", a segment that started with an animation of a kitten and in which Ferguson "removes his tie, puts his feet on his desk, and summarizes the preceding hour of TV."<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tvworthwatching.com/blog/2009/03/latenight-tv-chess-thanks-to-a.shtml | title= Late-Night TV Chess: Thanks to a Bishop, Craig Ferguson Is King| date=March 2009 | work=TV Worth Watching| first= David |last=Bianculli | access-date=2009-09-01 | quote=The show actually ended, as usual these days, with "What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?", a segment in which the host removes his tie, shoes and socks and puts his barefeet on his desk, and summarizes the preceding hour of TV. }}</ref>
Since the introduction of the Geoff character, Ferguson usually discussed the day's lesson with the robot.
Ferguson's tenure included the show's first [[High-definition television|high definition]] broadcast, on August 31, 2009. In March 2010, the ''Late Late Show'' won the [[Peabody Award]] for Excellence in Television for its "Evening with Archbishop [[Desmond Tutu]]" episode.<ref>{{Cite news|title='Glee' and Craig Ferguson Win Peabody Awards|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/arts/television/01arts-GLEEANDCRAIG_BRF.html|work=New York Times|date=March 31, 2010 | first=Dave | last=Itzkoff | access-date=May 25, 2010}}</ref> According to the Peabody Board, "the Scottish-born Ferguson has made late-night television safe again for ideas."<ref>{{cite web | title= Complete List of Recipients of the 69th Annual Peabody Awards | url= http://www.peabody.uga.edu/news/event.php?id=66 | publisher= [[University of Georgia]] | work= [[Press release]] | date= March 31, 2010 | access-date= 2010-04-01 | url-status= dead | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100403055353/http://www.peabody.uga.edu/news/event.php?id=66 | archive-date= April 3, 2010 }}</ref>
The show had [[Peter Lassally]] as its executive producer through Ferguson's entire tenure. Lassally had previously been executive producer of ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]'', ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]'', and ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]''.
In April 2012, CBS announced that they had reached an agreement with Ferguson to extend his contract through 2014. As part of the deal, the network began co-producing ''The Late Late Show'' for the first time.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.cbscorporation.com/news-article.php?id=871 |title=CBS ANNOUNCES NEW CONTRACT EXTENSIONS WITH LATE NIGHT STARS DAVID LETTERMAN AND CRAIG FERGUSON THROUGH 2014 |publisher=CBS Corporation |access-date=2012-10-20}}</ref>
From the beginning of Ferguson's tenure as host until August 8, 2012, ''The Late Late Show'' continued to originate from Studio 58 at CBS Television City, as it had dating back to the show's origins under Snyder. Ferguson often joked about the studio's small size, leaky roof, and poor lighting. On August 27, 2012, the program moved down the hall to the much larger Studio 56. Though the look of the main desk set was similar to the one in Studio 58, the extra space in Studio 56 allowed for more audience seating, a [[fireplace]] set for Geoff Peterson, an entrance & monologue set, a musical performance area, as well as a [[stable]] set for the show's pantomime horse, Secretariat.
====Ferguson's departure====
Ferguson's contract was set to expire in June 2014.<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS' Nina Tassler: No Craig Ferguson Replacement Before Upfronts (Exclusive)|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/craig-ferguson-replacement-wont-be-699948|access-date=April 30, 2014|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=April 30, 2014}}</ref> His contract called for him to be first in line to replace [[David Letterman]] as host of the ''[[Late Show (CBS TV series)|Late Show]]''. Because CBS chose [[Stephen Colbert]] for that position, Ferguson reportedly received a windfall of as much as $10,000,000.<ref name="dn">{{cite news|title=Craig Ferguson faces uncertain future at CBS with David Letterman gone, contract ending in 2015|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/craig-ferguson-stay-cbs-2015-article-1.1754069|newspaper=New York Daily News|access-date=April 12, 2014|date=April 11, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227193532/https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/craig-ferguson-stay-cbs-2015-article-1.1754069 |archive-date=February 27, 2020}}</ref>

===Transition (January–March 2015)===
{{main|List of The Late Late Show episodes (2015 guest hosts)}}
In the interim between Ferguson's departure in December 2014 and James Corden's premiere on March 23, 2015, CBS scheduled a number of guest hosts to helm the program. Repeats of Ferguson's show finished out 2014. [[Drew Carey]] hosted the week of January 5 and did so again the week of March 2, while CBS daytime talk show ''[[The Talk (talk show)|The Talk]]'' aired a special week of ''The Talk After Dark'' episodes on the week of January 12. Other guest hosts included [[Judd Apatow]], [[Will Arnett]], [[Wayne Brady]], [[Whitney Cummings]], [[Jim Gaffigan]], [[Billy Gardell]], [[Sean Hayes (actor)|Sean Hayes]], [[Thomas Lennon (actor)|Thomas Lennon]], [[John Mayer]], [[Kunal Nayyar]], [[Adam Pally]], [[Jim Rome]], [[Lauren Graham]] and [[Regis Philbin]].<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS Taps 'The Talk' and Guest Hosts To Fill 'Late Late Show'|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cbs-taps-the-talk-and-guest-hosts-to-fill-late-late-show-1201365480/|access-date=December 9, 2014|work=Variety|date=November 26, 2014}}</ref> [[Peter Lassally]] remained executive producer during this period and retired from television after a six decade career with the taping of Arnett's show on February 20, 2015, in which Lassally appeared in a [[cameo appearance|cameo]]. Shows that aired for the rest of February, into March, had been pre-recorded in January for later broadcast in order to give CBS time to dismantle the Ferguson set and traditional audience seating, and build out a new set and audience arrangement for Corden's show. Shows taped by Cummings, Philbin and Pally originated from [[New York City|New York]] and were recorded without an audience from Studio 57 at the [[CBS Broadcast Center]], the home studio for ''[[CBS This Morning]]''. Repeats were to fill out the two weeks between the final new Carey hosted show on March 6 and the premiere of Corden's show on the 23rd.
===James Corden (2015–2023)===

David Letterman's contract included the right to control the time slot that follows his and produce the ''Late Late Show'' and it was his production company, Worldwide Pants, which selected previous hosts. With Letterman's departure, CBS became the sole producer of the show.<ref name="dn" /> In keeping with customs employed on British chat shows such as ''[[The Graham Norton Show]]'', Corden interviewed all of the nightly guests at once, opting for a more conversational style and reducing the format's emphasis on U.S. fixtures such as desks and an opening monologue.<ref name="Esq">{{cite web |last=Scott |first=A.

On April 28, 2022, Corden announced that he would step down as host in 2023, stating that "I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave, and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure."<ref name=":0" />
In February 2023, ''Deadline Hollywood'' reported that CBS was considering using Corden's departure to reevaluate the future of ''The Late Late Show'' as a franchise, with the network considering alternative formats for the timeslot that would be cheaper to produce than a traditional talk show. That month, the network reportedly settled on a [[Stephen Colbert]]-produced revival of ''[[@midnight]]'', a social media-themed [[panel show]] aired by sibling [[Comedy Central]] from 2013 through 2017, bringing an end to ''The Late Late Show'' franchise after 28 years.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Andreeva |first1=Nellie |last2=White |first2=Peter |date=February 7, 2023 |title='The Late Late Show With James Corden' To Be Replaced With '@midnight' Reboot Exec Produced By Stephen Colbert On CBS |url=https://deadline.com/2023/02/the-late-late-show-with-james-corden-replaced-at-cbs-with-midnight-1235252659/ |access-date=February 7, 2023 |website=Deadline}}</ref>

'''''The Late Late Show''''' is<!--do not change, I will know. Even if it ended, it still exists; see MOS:TVNOW--> an [[Television in the United States|American]] [[late-night talk show|late-night television talk and variety comedy show]] that aired from January 9, 1995 to April 27, 2023 on [[CBS]]. [[Tom Snyder]] was the show's first host, followed by [[Craig Kilborn]], [[Craig Ferguson]], [[James Corden]] and [[Jodie Whittaker]] The show originated from [[Television City]] in [[Los Angeles]]. It was confirmed by the television producers that The Late Late Show will return with [[Jodie Whittaker]] as the host.
==Format==
The show differed from most late-night talk shows during its first two decades on air in that it did not use a [[house band]] or an in-studio announcer. The traditional opening [[monologue]] also tended to be different from that of other late night shows tending to avoid jokes with punch lines during Snyder and Ferguson's tenures in favor of a short conversational introduction when Snyder was host and a [[cold opening]] featuring either a musical parody, audience interaction, a short sketch or interaction between Ferguson and [[Geoff Peterson]] followed by an anecdotal stream of consciousness introduction during most of Ferguson's years. While Craig Kilborn opened with a monologue it tended to be shorter than that used by other late shows. Corden's approach to the monologue was a hybrid of topical punchline jokes and a stream of consciousness, although it was usually very short, as the show tended to favor longer recorded sections.
While most late-night talk shows in the United States feature multiple guests individually, James Corden typically had all of his guests on at the same time in a similar fashion to most British talk shows.
==History==
===Tom Snyder (1995–1999)===
[[Tom Snyder]] hosted the program from its inception in January 1995 until March 1999. The choice of Snyder as host was made by [[David Letterman]], whose contract with CBS gave him (via production company [[Worldwide Pants]]) the power to produce the show in the timeslot immediately after his own program and who had an affinity for Snyder, whose NBC late night series ''[[The Tomorrow Show|Tomorrow]]'' had been succeeded by ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]''. The time slot on CBS previously carried repeats of ''[[Crimetime After Primetime]]''. Snyder departed [[CNBC]] to host the ''Late Late Show'' on CBS.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-01-09/features/1995009116_1_tom-snyder-show-with-tom-late-late|title=After a lo-o-o-ong wait, it's Tom Snyder TURNED ON IN L.A.|last=Zurawik|first=David|date=9 January 1995|work=[[The Baltimore Sun]]|access-date=7 May 2015}}</ref>
Letterman and Snyder had a long history together: a 1978 ''[[The Tomorrow Show|Tomorrow]]'' episode hosted by Snyder was almost exclusively devoted to a long interview with up-and-coming new comedy talents Letterman, [[Billy Crystal]] and [[Merrill Markoe]]. And in 1982, when ''Tomorrow'' was canceled by NBC, Letterman's series ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]'' succeeded ''Tomorrow'' in the timeslot, and Snyder had been offered but refused a move to after ''Late Night'' by NBC.
Snyder's show featured a mix of celebrities, politicians and other newsmakers, but was otherwise quite unlike the program hosted by Letterman. Snyder was a former newsman, not a comedian, and his show featured an intimate [[interview]] format with no studio audience present, similar to his old ''Tomorrow'' show of the 1970s, or to ''[[Charlie Rose (show)|Charlie Rose]]'' show and ''[[Later (talk show)|Later]]'', which had abandoned the format the previous year and had followed ''Late Night'' under Letterman on NBC. Though the show lacked a studio audience, Snyder still frequently gave extended conversational monologues, many of which contained jokes that prompted audible laughter from the off-camera production staff. Without the need for an audience, the show originated from the intimate Studio 58 at CBS Television City.
Throughout most of the show's run, it was also [[simulcast]] over some [[CBS Radio]] stations,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbsradio.com/latelate/index.html |title=Late Late Show With Tom Snyder And Steve Mason |access-date=30 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981206122814/http://www.cbsradio.com/latelate/index.html |archive-date=December 6, 1998 }}</ref> and Snyder accepted calls from viewers/listeners somewhat in the manner of [[Larry King]]; to accommodate this, the show was broadcast live in the Eastern and Central United States and on radio in the west, a rarity for late-night talk shows that had otherwise transitioned to tape, though due to existing syndication contracts and resistance to give up local control of timeslots, many stations, such as [[WJZ-TV]] in Baltimore, would delay it to as late as 3:05 a.m. When Snyder was on vacation, the show featured guest hosts such as [[Jon Stewart]] or [[Janeane Garofalo]].
Saxophonist [[David Sanborn]] composed and performed the theme music and several other songs featured on the show, all of which were [[smooth jazz]] pieces to fit the show's low-key, middle-of-the-night mood. Sanborn had previously been a guest saxophonist in [[CBS Orchestra|The World's Most Dangerous Band]] during ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]''. Unlike other late-night shows, ''The Late Late Show'' did not have a [[house band]] (a tradition that carried on to its iterations under Kilborn and Ferguson) or any announcer, except for the last episode, when Snyder allowed one of his staff members to announce an introduction.
Letterman had offered the ''Late Late'' spot to [[Garry Shandling]], a former permanent guest host of ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', but Shandling turned the offer down in favor of ''[[The Larry Sanders Show]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/garry-shandling#|title=Garry Shandling|work=Archive of American Television|date=22 October 2017}}</ref> (NBC had previously approached Shandling about succeeding Letterman on ''[[Late Night (NBC)|Late Night]]'' but he had also declined that offer, the job ultimately went to [[Conan O'Brien]]). He also offered the slot to ''Later'' host [[Bob Costas]] who also declined.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://articles.latimes.com/1995-01-01/entertainment/ca-15250_1_late-night|title=TELEVISION : Doesn't Tom Snyder Ever Say Good Night? : The radio-TV veteran returns to the late late-night spot that made him famous.

Letterman then insisted on Snyder despite CBS wanting a younger host with a comedy background and a more traditional late night talk variety format.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.philly.com/1994-07-20/entertainment/25845917_1_lassally-and-robert-morton-cnbc-s-tom-snyder-andy-friendly|title=Tom Snyder To Follow The Letterman Show?

Longtime late night television producer [[Peter Lassally]] was executive producer of Snyder's iteration of the program and mentored [[Jon Stewart]] when he was a guest host filling in for Snyder.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Host Whisperer |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/arts/television/17stei.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&|access-date=February 21, 2015|work=New York Times|date=July 17, 2005}}</ref>
==={{anchor|The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn}}Craig Kilborn (1999–2004)===
When Snyder announced he was leaving, the show was reformatted to resemble ''Letterman'' and other major late-night talk programs. [[Craig Kilborn]] took over in March 1999, having left ''[[The Daily Show]]'' (where he was succeeded by [[Jon Stewart]]) to become the new ''Late Late Show'' host (previously he was an anchor on [[ESPN]]'s ''[[SportsCenter]]'').
When Kilborn was on the show, it began with an image of a [[full moon]] wavering behind gray [[stratus cloud]]s, to the tuning of an orchestra, while the announcer—the recorded, modulated voice of Kilborn himself—blurted out, ''"From the gorgeous, gorgeous [[Hollywood Hills]] in sunny [[California]], it's your ''Late Late Show'' with Craig Kilborn. Tonight,"'' and then the guests were announced, backed by the show's theme song, composed by [[Neil Finn]].{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Then Kilborn was presented, ''"Ladies and gentlemen, *pause* Mister Craig Kilborn"'', with the 1970s [[disco]] band [[Wild Cherry (band)|Wild Cherry]] song "[[Play That Funky Music]]".
After Kilborn's [[stand-up comedy|stand-up]] [[monologue]], he walked to his "Bavarian oak desk"{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} while Finn's theme song continued playing with the chorus ''"The Late Late Show is starting. The Late Late Show is starting now."'' The "Desk Chat" was said{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} to be Craig's favorite part of the show.
During later seasons,{{specify|date=February 2013}} the opening consisted of shots of various Los Angeles hotspots accompanied by a new theme song performed and written by [[Chris Isaak]]. For this new theme song, Kilborn would be played to the desk with a chorus of ''"The Late Late Show is starting"''.
The show continued to originate from Studio 58 throughout Kilborn's tenure as host.
Segments included:{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}
* '''In the News:''' A news segment, whose theme song was [[Survivor (band)|Survivor's]] "[[Eye of the Tiger]]", where Kilborn would provide a humorous overview of the day's events. It was briefly called "The World of Whimsy" following the [[September 11th attacks]]. The segment also included characters such as the hoary and cherubic "Ewok Guy" or the [[rapping]] "PG&E" Lady.
* '''What Up?:''' A Friday segment where Kilborn and three other panelists discussed and joked about the news.
* '''To Blank with Love:''' Kilborn dedicated verses to different people and things
* '''Five Questions:''' Kilborn asked a geography question, a ''[[Match Game]]''-style "blank" question where the guest had to fill a blank with a word related to the guest, a "''Now think of other one''" question in which the guest had to guess what Kilborn had in mind. This segment was a holdover from Kilborn's previous job as the host of ''[[The Daily Show]]''.
* '''Tuesdays with Buddy''': Featuring [[Buddy Hackett]]
* '''Yambo:''' An elimination game between two guests. Kilborn would slowly walk in a circle around the two celebrity guests and randomly yell questions at them. A correct answer within three seconds earned them a point; three points won a game. Failure to answer or a wrong answer earned a strike; three strikes resulted in the opponent winning.
* '''The Weather with Petra Nemcova:''' Craig and Goldy would sometimes do a weather report with model [[Petra Němcová]]. The theme song was: "Petra, Petra tell us the weather, Tell us the weather to make us feel better. Petra, Petra, tell us whether we need to bring a jacket, or not."
Kilborn left the program on August 27, 2004, two weeks after surprising executives at CBS and Worldwide Pants by announcing after several weeks of talks that he was not seeking a contract renewal.<ref name=trib>{{cite news|title=For now, guests will fill Kilborn's chair|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-08-25/news/0408260057_1_worldwide-pants-replacement-for-craig-kilborn-guest-hosts|access-date=December 27, 2014|work=Chicago Tribune|date=August 25, 2004}}</ref> In a June 2010 interview, Kilborn stated that he left late-night television due to his belief that the late-night time slot was too crowded for him to succeed.<ref name="latenight">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxcZH5v9iUw|title=Craig Kilborn on Good Day LA (The Kilborn File)|publisher=[[YouTube]]|access-date=2010-10-31}}</ref> Executive Producer Peter Lasally later claimed that Kilborn quit because he did not get the raise he wanted.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c4C13ohOBU</ref>
===Transition (September–December 2004)===
With Kilborn only announcing in early August that he would not be returning to the ''Late Late Show'' in the fall, CBS and Worldwide Pants executives decided to have a series of guest hosts helm the show in on-air auditions. While initially saying they would choose a permanent host by the end of October, the process ended up extending into December. [[Drew Carey]] was the first guest host on September 20, 2004, and again the following night.<ref name=carey/> Subsequent guest hosts included: [[Jason Alexander]], [[Jeff Altman]], [[Tom Arnold (actor)|Tom Arnold]], [[Michael Ian Black]], [[Tom Caltabiano]], [[Adam Carolla]], [[Tom Dreesen]], [[David Duchovny]], [[Damien Fahey]], [[Craig Ferguson]], [[Jim Gaffigan]], [[Ana Gasteyer]], [[David Alan Grier]], [[D.

L. Hughley, Damien Fahey, and Michael Ian Black. It was announced on December 7, 2004, that Ferguson, a [[Scotland|Scottish]] comedian best known from his role as Mr. Wick on ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'', was to become Kilborn's permanent replacement. [[David Letterman]] later said he made the selection based on the recommendation of [[Peter Lassally]].<ref>{{cite magazine | url = https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/22791344/dave_at_peace_the_rolling_stone_interview/print | title = Dave at Peace: The Rolling Stone Interview | date = September 18, 2008 | magazine = [[Rolling Stone]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080909092744/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/22791344/dave_at_peace_the_rolling_stone_interview/print | archive-date = 2008-09-09 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
Following the conclusion of the on-air auditions on December 3, 2004, guest hosts continued to fill out the roster until the end of the year and included: Jason Alexander, Donal Logue, David Alan Grier, [[Aisha Tyler]], [[Drew Carey]], [[Sara Rue]], [[John Witherspoon (actor)|John Witherspoon]], [[Joe Buck]], [[Susan Sarandon]], [[Don Cheadle]], [[Daryl Mitchell (actor)|Daryl Mitchell]], [[Bob Saget]], Jim Rome, Ana Gasteyer, Damien Fahey and D.L.

===Craig Ferguson (2005–2014)===
{{main|The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson}}
[[File:The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson logo.jpg|250px|left|thumb|''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson logo'']]
Under Craig Ferguson's tenure as host, the show started with a [[cold open]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_late_show/video/?pid=m9_QYYkgPjv_NGWurrs9Dj7iHrSgR82S |title=The Late Late Show Video — The Late Late Show |publisher=CBS.com |date= November 3, 2011 |access-date=2011-11-05}}</ref> followed by [[opening credits]] and a commercial break. A loose comic monologue then followed, consistently including a greeting ("Welcome to Los Angeles, California, welcome to the ''Late Late Show'', I am your host, TV's Craig Ferguson") and the proclamation that "It's a great day for America, everybody!".<ref name="stpete">{{cite web| title= Craig Ferguson a standout at standup| date= August 16, 2007| url= http://www.sptimes.com/2007/08/16/Tv/Ferguson_a_standout_l.shtml | publisher=[[St. Petersburg Times]]| access-date=2009-09-01 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070630142810/http://www.sptimes.com/2007/08/16/Tv/Ferguson_a_standout_l.shtml | archive-date = 2007-06-30 | url-status = live}}</ref>
From 2010 the monologue also included [[banter]] with [[Geoff Peterson]], his "robot skeleton [[sidekick]]", voiced and controlled by [[Josh Robert Thompson]]. This [[animatronic]] was constructed by the [[MythBusters]]' [[Grant Imahara]] but went through many revisions, the most important was the regular live control and voicing by Thompson. This changed the dynamic of the show as Ferguson had a recurring 'sidekick' to banter with.
After another commercial break, the banter continued with Ferguson sitting behind a desk. He usually read and responded to viewer e-mail and (since February 2010<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.csmonitor.com/Innovation/Horizons/2010/0209/With-CraigyFerg-Craig-Ferguson-leaps-into-the-Twitter-fray|title=With @CraigyFerg, Craig Ferguson leaps into the Twitter fray|work=[[Christian Science Monitor]] |date= February 9, 2010|access-date=2010-02-12}}</ref>) [[Twitter]] messages for random responses to viewer questions.
During segments Ferguson occasionally received phone calls (voiced by Thompson) from a variety of characters, including celebrities, the 'very shy' band (Alfredo Sauce and the Shy Fellas) allegedly hiding behind the set's curtain, room service, a duplicate Geoff, and Miriam, a possible stalker who confused Ferguson with former host [[Craig Kilborn]].
Ferguson called his Twitter followers his "robot skeleton army."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/geekend/?p=4260|title=Video: Craig Ferguson's Twitter followers and his robot-skeleton army|first=Mary|last=Weilage|publisher=TechRepublic|date=February 12, 2010|access-date=2010-02-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215191839/http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/geekend/?p=4260|archive-date=February 15, 2010|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
Generally one or two celebrities were interviewed; Ferguson started each by dramatically ripping up note cards written for the interview, "signalling to the audience, and to the guest, that this conversation need not be rigidly managed."<ref name="tvworth">{{cite web| url= http://www.tvworthwatching.com/blog/2009/03/latenight-tv-chess-thanks-to-a.shtml | title=Late-Night TV Chess: Thanks to a Bishop, Craig Ferguson Is King| date=March 2009 | work=TV Worth Watching| first=David |last=Bianculli | access-date=2009-09-01}}</ref> At the end of an interview, Ferguson usually asked his guest to engage in one of various rituals; options included "Awkward Pause", "Mouth Organ", "Guess What the Queen is Thinking", the "Big Cash Prize," or simply joining Ferguson in throwing [[Frisbee]]s at the show's "horse," [[Secretariat (Craig Ferguson)|Secretariat]] (actually two interns dressed in a pantomime horse costume).
Occasionally Craig requested Thompson (as Geoff) to interpret the thoughts of Secretariat or others, in one of a variety of celebrity voices, most notably [[Morgan Freeman]]. During a guest appearance, Morgan Freeman described Thompson's prompted vocal impression of himself as "impeccable".
Sometimes the show featured a [[stand-up comedy|stand-up comedian]] or a musical guest, the latter of which is typically pre-taped.<ref name="stpete"/>
Ferguson incorporated various [[running gag]]s. Early examples included themed weeks such as "Crab Week", "Magic Week" and "Shark Week". Shark Week was apparently a reference to [[Shark Week]] on the [[Discovery Channel]], and that channel, saying that Ferguson has always loved Shark Week, scheduled him for an appearance on August 4, 2010.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/shark-week/tv-shows.html|title=Happy SHARK WEEK, SHARK BITES: ADVENTURES IN SHARK WEEK| publisher= Discovery.com| access-date= 2010-07-30}}</ref> A "photo of [[Paul McCartney]]" joke (wherein Ferguson called for a photo of McCartney, which was actually a photo of actress [[Angela Lansbury]] and vice versa); the show often used variations of this gag featuring other pairs of look-alike celebrities, such as [[Cher]] being shown as [[Marilyn Manson]],<ref>e.g. [http://www.cbs.com/late_late_show/video/video.php?cid=583362836&pid=oNDEcTQekrUOz5cLG_AtlYooI4zkl_Jg&category=fullepisodes&play=true "Do we have a picture of Cher?"] from cbs.com{{Dead link|date=December 2013}}</ref> and a picture of [[Ann Coulter]] being shown whenever Ferguson requested a photo of [[Tom Petty]].
The show ended with "What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?", a segment that started with an animation of a kitten and in which Ferguson "removes his tie, puts his feet on his desk, and summarizes the preceding hour of TV."<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tvworthwatching.com/blog/2009/03/latenight-tv-chess-thanks-to-a.shtml | title= Late-Night TV Chess: Thanks to a Bishop, Craig Ferguson Is King| date=March 2009 | work=TV Worth Watching| first= David |last=Bianculli | access-date=2009-09-01 | quote=The show actually ended, as usual these days, with "What Did We Learn on the Show Tonight, Craig?", a segment in which the host removes his tie, shoes and socks and puts his barefeet on his desk, and summarizes the preceding hour of TV. }}</ref>
Since the introduction of the Geoff character, Ferguson usually discussed the day's lesson with the robot.
Ferguson's tenure included the show's first [[High-definition television|high definition]] broadcast, on August 31, 2009. In March 2010, the ''Late Late Show'' won the [[Peabody Award]] for Excellence in Television for its "Evening with Archbishop [[Desmond Tutu]]" episode.<ref>{{Cite news|title='Glee' and Craig Ferguson Win Peabody Awards|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/arts/television/01arts-GLEEANDCRAIG_BRF.html|work=New York Times|date=March 31, 2010 | first=Dave | last=Itzkoff | access-date=May 25, 2010}}</ref> According to the Peabody Board, "the Scottish-born Ferguson has made late-night television safe again for ideas."<ref>{{cite web | title= Complete List of Recipients of the 69th Annual Peabody Awards | url= http://www.peabody.uga.edu/news/event.php?id=66 | publisher= [[University of Georgia]] | work= [[Press release]] | date= March 31, 2010 | access-date= 2010-04-01 | url-status= dead | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100403055353/http://www.peabody.uga.edu/news/event.php?id=66 | archive-date= April 3, 2010 }}</ref>
The show had [[Peter Lassally]] as its executive producer through Ferguson's entire tenure. Lassally had previously been executive producer of ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]'', ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]'', and ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]''.
In April 2012, CBS announced that they had reached an agreement with Ferguson to extend his contract through 2014. As part of the deal, the network began co-producing ''The Late Late Show'' for the first time.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.cbscorporation.com/news-article.php?id=871 |title=CBS ANNOUNCES NEW CONTRACT EXTENSIONS WITH LATE NIGHT STARS DAVID LETTERMAN AND CRAIG FERGUSON THROUGH 2014 |publisher=CBS Corporation |access-date=2012-10-20}}</ref>
From the beginning of Ferguson's tenure as host until August 8, 2012, ''The Late Late Show'' continued to originate from Studio 58 at CBS Television City, as it had dating back to the show's origins under Snyder. Ferguson often joked about the studio's small size, leaky roof, and poor lighting. On August 27, 2012, the program moved down the hall to the much larger Studio 56. Though the look of the main desk set was similar to the one in Studio 58, the extra space in Studio 56 allowed for more audience seating, a [[fireplace]] set for Geoff Peterson, an entrance & monologue set, a musical performance area, as well as a [[stable]] set for the show's pantomime horse, Secretariat.
====Ferguson's departure====
Ferguson's contract was set to expire in June 2014.<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS' Nina Tassler: No Craig Ferguson Replacement Before Upfronts (Exclusive)|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/craig-ferguson-replacement-wont-be-699948|access-date=April 30, 2014|newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|date=April 30, 2014}}</ref> His contract called for him to be first in line to replace [[David Letterman]] as host of the ''[[Late Show (CBS TV series)|Late Show]]''.

In the interim between Ferguson's departure in December 2014 and James Corden's premiere on March 23, 2015, CBS scheduled a number of guest hosts to helm the program. Repeats of Ferguson's show finished out 2014. [[Drew Carey]] hosted the week of January 5 and did so again the week of March 2, while CBS daytime talk show ''[[The Talk (talk show)|The Talk]]'' aired a special week of ''The Talk After Dark'' episodes on the week of January 12.

Shows that aired for the rest of February, into March, had been pre-recorded in January for later broadcast in order to give CBS time to dismantle the Ferguson set and traditional audience seating, and build out a new set and audience arrangement for Corden's show. Shows taped by Cummings, Philbin and Pally originated from [[New York City|New York]] and were recorded without an audience from Studio 57 at the [[CBS Broadcast Center]], the home studio for ''[[CBS This Morning]]''. Repeats were to fill out the two weeks between the final new Carey hosted show on March 6 and the premiere of Corden's show on the 23rd.

Corden's hosting tenure was the first to have a house band (the lack thereof having been a running joke during Ferguson's tenure); [[Reggie Watts]] served as the franchise's first and only bandleader.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.nexttv.com/news/cbs-sets-staff-james-corden-s-late-late-show-136346|title=CBS Sets Staff for James Corden's 'Late Late Show'|date=12 December 2014|website=Broadcasting & Cable|publisher=NextTV|access-date=20 December 2014}}</ref>
David Letterman's contract included the right to control the time slot that follows his and produce the ''Late Late Show'' and it was his production company, Worldwide Pants, which selected previous hosts. With Letterman's departure, CBS became the sole producer of the show.<ref name="dn" /> In keeping with customs employed on British chat shows such as ''[[The Graham Norton Show]]'', Corden interviewed all of the nightly guests at once, opting for a more conversational style and reducing the format's emphasis on U.S. fixtures such as desks and an opening monologue.<ref name="Esq">{{cite web |last=Scott |first=A.

On April 28, 2022, Corden announced that he would step down as host in 2023, stating that "I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave, and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure."<ref name=":0" />
In February 2023, ''Deadline Hollywood'' reported that CBS was considering using Corden's departure to reevaluate the future of ''The Late Late Show'' as a franchise, with the network considering alternative formats for the timeslot that would be cheaper to produce than a traditional talk show. That month, the network reportedly settled on a [[Stephen Colbert]]-produced revival of ''[[@midnight]]'', a social media-themed [[panel show]] aired by sibling [[Comedy Central]] from 2013 through 2017, bringing an end to ''The Late Late Show'' franchise after 28 years.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Andreeva |first1=Nellie |last2=White |first2=Peter |date=February 7, 2023 |title='The Late Late Show With James Corden' To Be Replaced With '@midnight' Reboot Exec Produced By Stephen Colbert On CBS |url=https://deadline.com/2023/02/the-late-late-show-with-james-corden-replaced-at-cbs-with-midnight-1235252659/ |access-date=February 7, 2023 |website=Deadline}}</ref>

<p>The show differed from most late-night talk shows during its first two decades on air in that it did not use a <a href="/wiki/House_band" title="House band">house band</a> or an in-studio announcer. The traditional opening <a href="/wiki/Monologue" title="Monologue">monologue</a> also tended to be different from that of other late night shows tending to avoid jokes with punch lines during Snyder and Ferguson's tenures in favor of a short conversational introduction when Snyder was host and a <a href="/wiki/Cold_opening" class="mw-redirect" title="Cold opening">cold opening</a> featuring either a musical parody, audience interaction, a short sketch or interaction between Ferguson and <a href="/wiki/Geoff_Peterson" title="Geoff Peterson">Geoff Peterson</a> followed by an anecdotal stream of consciousness introduction during most of Ferguson's years. While Craig Kilborn opened with a monologue it tended to be shorter than that used by other late shows. Corden's approach to the monologue was a hybrid of topical punchline jokes and a stream of consciousness, although it was usually very short, as the show tended to favor longer recorded sections.
</p><p>While most late-night talk shows in the United States feature multiple guests individually, James Corden typically had all of his guests on at the same time in a similar fashion to most British talk shows.

The choice of Snyder as host was made by <a href="/wiki/David_Letterman" title="David Letterman">David Letterman</a>, whose contract with CBS gave him (via production company <a href="/wiki/Worldwide_Pants" title="Worldwide Pants">Worldwide Pants</a>) the power to produce the show in the timeslot immediately after his own program and who had an affinity for Snyder, whose NBC late night series <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tomorrow_Show" title="The Tomorrow Show">Tomorrow</a></i> had been succeeded by <i><a href="/wiki/Late_Night_with_David_Letterman" title="Late Night with David Letterman">Late Night with David Letterman</a></i>. The time slot on CBS previously carried repeats of <i><a href="/wiki/Crimetime_After_Primetime" title="Crimetime After Primetime">Crimetime After Primetime</a></i>. Snyder departed <a href="/wiki/CNBC" title="CNBC">CNBC</a> to host the <i>Late Late Show</i> on CBS.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup>
</p><p>Letterman and Snyder had a long history together: a 1978 <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tomorrow_Show" title="The Tomorrow Show">Tomorrow</a></i> episode hosted by Snyder was almost exclusively devoted to a long interview with up-and-coming new comedy talents Letterman, <a href="/wiki/Billy_Crystal" title="Billy Crystal">Billy Crystal</a> and <a href="/wiki/Merrill_Markoe" title="Merrill Markoe">Merrill Markoe</a>. And in 1982, when <i>Tomorrow</i> was canceled by NBC, Letterman's series <i><a href="/wiki/Late_Night_with_David_Letterman" title="Late Night with David Letterman">Late Night with David Letterman</a></i> succeeded <i>Tomorrow</i> in the timeslot, and Snyder had been offered but refused a move to after <i>Late Night</i> by NBC.
</p><p>Snyder's show featured a mix of celebrities, politicians and other newsmakers, but was otherwise quite unlike the program hosted by Letterman. Snyder was a former newsman, not a comedian, and his show featured an intimate <a href="/wiki/Interview" title="Interview">interview</a> format with no studio audience present, similar to his old <i>Tomorrow</i> show of the 1970s, or to <i><a href="/wiki/Charlie_Rose_(show)" class="mw-redirect" title="Charlie Rose (show)">Charlie Rose</a></i> show and <i><a href="/wiki/Later_(talk_show)" title="Later (talk show)">Later</a></i>, which had abandoned the format the previous year and had followed <i>Late Night</i> under Letterman on NBC. Though the show lacked a studio audience, Snyder still frequently gave extended conversational monologues, many of which contained jokes that prompted audible laughter from the off-camera production staff. Without the need for an audience, the show originated from the intimate Studio 58 at CBS Television City.
</p><p>Throughout most of the show's run, it was also <a href="/wiki/Simulcast" title="Simulcast">simulcast</a> over some <a href="/wiki/CBS_Radio" title="CBS Radio">CBS Radio</a> stations,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> and Snyder accepted calls from viewers/listeners somewhat in the manner of <a href="/wiki/Larry_King" title="Larry King">Larry King</a>; to accommodate this, the show was broadcast live in the Eastern and Central United States and on radio in the west, a rarity for late-night talk shows that had otherwise transitioned to tape, though due to existing syndication contracts and resistance to give up local control of timeslots, many stations, such as <a href="/wiki/WJZ-TV" title="WJZ-TV">WJZ-TV</a> in Baltimore, would delay it to as late as 3:05 a.m. When Snyder was on vacation, the show featured guest hosts such as <a href="/wiki/Jon_Stewart" title="Jon Stewart">Jon Stewart</a> or <a href="/wiki/Janeane_Garofalo" title="Janeane Garofalo">Janeane Garofalo</a>.
</p><p>Saxophonist <a href="/wiki/David_Sanborn" title="David Sanborn">David Sanborn</a> composed and performed the theme music and several other songs featured on the show, all of which were <a href="/wiki/Smooth_jazz" title="Smooth jazz">smooth jazz</a> pieces to fit the show's low-key, middle-of-the-night mood. Sanborn had previously been a guest saxophonist in <a href="/wiki/CBS_Orchestra" class="mw-redirect" title="CBS Orchestra">The World's Most Dangerous Band</a> during <i><a href="/wiki/Late_Night_with_David_Letterman" title="Late Night with David Letterman">Late Night with David Letterman</a></i>. Unlike other late-night shows, <i>The Late Late Show</i> did not have a <a href="/wiki/House_band" title="House band">house band</a> (a tradition that carried on to its iterations under Kilborn and Ferguson) or any announcer, except for the last episode, when Snyder allowed one of his staff members to announce an introduction.
</p><p>Letterman had offered the <i>Late Late</i> spot to <a href="/wiki/Garry_Shandling" title="Garry Shandling">Garry Shandling</a>, a former permanent guest host of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tonight_Show" title="The Tonight Show">The Tonight Show</a></i>, but Shandling turned the offer down in favor of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Larry_Sanders_Show" title="The Larry Sanders Show">The Larry Sanders Show</a></i><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> (NBC had previously approached Shandling about succeeding Letterman on <i><a href="/wiki/Late_Night_(NBC)" class="mw-redirect" title="Late Night (NBC)">Late Night</a></i> but he had also declined that offer, the job ultimately went to <a href="/wiki/Conan_O%27Brien" title="Conan O'Brien">Conan O'Brien</a>). He also offered the slot to <i>Later</i> host <a href="/wiki/Bob_Costas" title="Bob Costas">Bob Costas</a> who also declined.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup>
</p><p>Letterman then insisted on Snyder despite CBS wanting a younger host with a comedy background and a more traditional late night talk variety format.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> In 1998, the network reportedly reasserted its desire for a host who could attract a younger demographic and asked Worldwide Pants not to renew Snyder's contract when it expired in September 1999,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> though other reports portray the decision to leave as Snyder's decision,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> with Snyder informing management that he wished to depart before his contract ended, as early as January 1999.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> Snyder would return to CBS to guest-host some episodes of the <i>Late Show</i> while Letterman recuperated from heart surgery in 2000.

Since the introduction of the Geoff character, Ferguson usually discussed the day's lesson with the robot.

</p><p>From the beginning of Ferguson's tenure as host until August 8, 2012, <i>The Late Late Show</i> continued to originate from Studio 58 at CBS Television City, as it had dating back to the show's origins under Snyder. Ferguson often joked about the studio's small size, leaky roof, and poor lighting. On August 27, 2012, the program moved down the hall to the much larger Studio 56. Though the look of the main desk set was similar to the one in Studio 58, the extra space in Studio 56 allowed for more audience seating, a <a href="/wiki/Fireplace" title="Fireplace">fireplace</a> set for Geoff Peterson, an entrance & monologue set, a musical performance area, as well as a <a href="/wiki/Stable" title="Stable">stable</a> set for the show's pantomime horse, Secretariat.

<p>In the interim between Ferguson's departure in December 2014 and James Corden's premiere on March 23, 2015, CBS scheduled a number of guest hosts to helm the program.

Shows that aired for the rest of February, into March, had been pre-recorded in January for later broadcast in order to give CBS time to dismantle the Ferguson set and traditional audience seating, and build out a new set and audience arrangement for Corden's show. Shows taped by Cummings, Philbin and Pally originated from <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York</a> and were recorded without an audience from Studio 57 at the <a href="/wiki/CBS_Broadcast_Center" title="CBS Broadcast Center">CBS Broadcast Center</a>, the home studio for <i><a href="/wiki/CBS_This_Morning" title="CBS This Morning">CBS This Morning</a></i>.

<p>On September 8, 2014, CBS announced that <a href="/wiki/James_Corden" title="James Corden">James Corden</a> would succeed Ferguson as host on March 23, 2015.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-corden_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-corden-37">[37]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a></sup> His show, originally slated to premiere on March 9, 2015, CBS pushed back its premiere to March 23, 2015, in December 2014, in order to use the <a href="/wiki/2015_NCAA_Men%27s_Division_I_Basketball_Tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="2015 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament">NCAA basketball tournament</a> as a means of promoting Corden's debut,<sup id="cite_ref-variety-cordenpushback_39-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-variety-cordenpushback-39">[39]</a></sup> and prevent a situation where two episodes would be pre-empted during the first week of the tournament. Corden's hosting tenure was the first to have a house band (the lack thereof having been a running joke during Ferguson's tenure); <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Watts" title="Reggie Watts">Reggie Watts</a> served as the franchise's first and only bandleader.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a></sup>
</p><p>David Letterman's contract included the right to control the time slot that follows his and produce the <i>Late Late Show</i> and it was his production company, Worldwide Pants, which selected previous hosts. With Letterman's departure, CBS became the sole producer of the show.<sup id="cite_ref-dn_29-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dn-29">[29]</a></sup> In keeping with customs employed on British chat shows such as <i><a href="/wiki/The_Graham_Norton_Show" title="The Graham Norton Show">The Graham Norton Show</a></i>, Corden interviewed all of the nightly guests at once, opting for a more conversational style and reducing the format's emphasis on U.S. fixtures such as desks and an opening monologue.<sup id="cite_ref-Esq_41-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Esq-41">[41]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a></sup> Many of the show's segments, including the recurring "Carpool Karaoke" (where Corden sang with celebrity guests in a car), became <a href="/wiki/Viral_video" title="Viral video">viral videos</a> online, with the show's <a href="/wiki/YouTube" title="YouTube">YouTube</a> channel having the second-highest number of subscribers among all associated with U.S. late-night talk shows.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_44-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-44">[44]</a></sup>
</p><p>On April 28, 2022, Corden announced that he would step down as host in 2023, stating that "I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave, and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure."<sup id="cite_ref-:0_44-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-44">[44]</a></sup>
</p><p>In February 2023, <i>Deadline Hollywood</i> reported that CBS was considering using Corden's departure to reevaluate the future of <i>The Late Late Show</i> as a franchise, with the network considering alternative formats for the timeslot that would be cheaper to produce than a traditional talk show. That month, the network reportedly settled on a <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Colbert" title="Stephen Colbert">Stephen Colbert</a>-produced revival of <i><a href="/wiki/@midnight" title="@midnight">@midnight</a></i>, a social media-themed <a href="/wiki/Panel_show" title="Panel show">panel show</a> aired by sibling <a href="/wiki/Comedy_Central" title="Comedy Central">Comedy Central</a> from 2013 through 2017, bringing an end to <i>The Late Late Show</i> franchise after 28 years.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a></sup>
