PaleyFest LA 2021 sponsored by Citi and Verizon. The host and creatives of CBS's The Late Late Show with James Corden (James Corden, Ben Winston, and Rob Crabbe) gather with moderator Andrew Rannells at PaleyFest LA 2021 to celebrate their show. Topics include: why British-born Corden's lack of fame in the United States proved a positive in his hosting duties; how the first episode defined everything that followed on the show; the goal to make a nightly variety show rather than a late-night talk show; producers' initial difficulty with booking A-list stars, and how they solved the problem; the origins of Carpool Karaoke; why Paul McCartney is Corden's all-time favorite Carpool Karaoke participant; if the writers purposely pen segments that they think will go viral; and why rapper Rick Ross walked off without a word to Corden amidst a parody of his hit song "Hustlin'." #paleycenter Subscribe to Paley Center on YouTube: null
