James Corden announced on Thursday's Late Late Show that he has signed on — but only for one more season, and then he's leaving to "see what else might be out there." Hosting The Late Late Show, starting in 2015, was always "going to be a journey, an adventure — I never saw it as my final destination," Corden told viewers. "And I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way." He promised to make the most of his final year, then "go out with a bang" and tears, "so many tears."
