James Corden Moves To SiriusXM

James Cordon with Adele

The actor and comedian James Corden has struck a deal with SiriusXM to create a new audio interview series, after leaving CBS’s The Late Late Show in April to spend more time with his wife and children.

The podcast will “seek to tell the untold stories of some of the most well-known public figures”, a spokesperson said.

Corden, who starred in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey as well as Hollywood movies including Peter Rabbit and Cats, shot to fame in the US after he became a late night TV show host who interviewed other celebrities in a car, while encouraging them to belt out songs. The format became known as Carpool Karaoke.

His new audio show, This Life of Mine, will only be available for subscribers to SiriusXM.

Expected to premiere early next year, it will feature in-depth discussions with the world’s biggest stars as they discuss “the people, places, moments and memories that made them who they are today”.

“I am thrilled to be joining SiriusXM,” Corden said in a statement. “It’s a dream to have a space to engage in deep conversations with the people whose work and talent I greatly admire.”

Corden interviewed Adele in the last Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show in April. Her original Carpool Karaoke interview with Corden in 2016 became a viral hit, amassing more than 260m views.
