“It’s been a very big year in late night at CBS,” said Glenn Geller, President, CBS Entertainment. “We’re extremely proud of our two new late night franchises, and we’re thrilled to give Stephen and James this big Super Bowl Sunday showcase.”

For those of you night-owls (including myself) that stayed up after last night’s second-ever broadcast of ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’, you were in for a special treat via a segment on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ that aired featuring our guy and a plethora of “failed promos” that didn’t reach the air, until last night that is …
Enjoy this video featuring tid-bits of James helping Stephen promote his new show, along with basking in the fun of their paying homage to the ‘late-great’ Craig Ferguson with the classic “Secretariat” spoof. James: “Why do I have to be in the back?!” Absolutely hilarious.
Loved it!

Tonight, the first part of CBS’ new look late night line up kicks off with the premiere of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden‘ at 12:35am ET / 11:35pm CT with guests Tom Hanks and Mila Kunis.
We still have a ways to go before the ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert‘ premieres on Tuesday, September 8th, but in the mean time, why not share your thoughts on James Cordens first week of shows.
Will you be tuning in regularly, or catching up online? Is Reggie Watts the late night band leader of your dreams? Should James have stayed in the UK, or will America fall in love with him? But most importantly, how do you think he and Stephen will complement one another?
Speaking at the Deutsche Bank 2015 Media, Internet and Telecom Conference in Florida, Les Moonves was asked about the upcoming debut of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ later this month, and the ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ in September.

Colbert’s show will be less expensive than David Letterman’s, plus CBS owns it, meaning it can also make revenue off ancillary businesses, Moonves said. He said there was “real potential” for profit upside in the next few years. He didn’t mention specific financials.
