Thursday’s installment, the last of Corden’s eight-year run at CBS, brought in 1.43 million viewers in its 12:35 a.m. timeslot, based on fast national ratings from Nielsen. That’s a 77 percent jump from The Late Late Show’s season average of 806,000 viewers and the largest audience for Corden’s show since it aired following the NFL’s AFC Championship game in January 2021. A Carpool Karaoke primetime special at 10 p.m. drew 3.65 million people, up from 2.77 million for the last primetime special (in May 2019) featuring the recurring Late Late Show segment. Fast national ratings don’t include out of home viewing, which could push the above figures up a bit. The final Late Late Show[s] featured Harry Styles and Will Ferrell as in-studio guests, Corden joining Tom Cruise to play Timon and Pumbaa in a performance of The Lion King at L.A.’s Pantages Theatre, and the last Carpool Karaoke segment with Adele. The latter has amassed more than 13 million views on YouTube since it posted on Monday. www.hollywoodreporter.com/… The segment began with Corden waking up to find Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel in his bedroom, there to ensure he won’t reveal any hosting secrets once he’s officially out of the game. That trio was later joined by Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert, the latter of whom commanded Corden to grow a beard in his retirement. More specifically, “a huge beard, one that says ‘God spoke to me from a bush.'” Right on cue, the camera panned over to David Letterman and his biblical facial hair seated in the corner. (Trevor Noah also put in a cameo at the end.) President Biden taped a farewell video to Corden (at about 10:00) and Farrell took a sledgehammer to his desk at about 18:00). There are other vids at the link below. x YouTube Video www.yahoo.com/… From the desk of your benevolent dictator: Okay, so that chapter of TV history is done, as is the run for the current iteration of this diary series. So, what does the phoenix that rises from these ashes look like? Call it the Insomiacs’ Venthole: (fill in the blank)? Plain old Insomniacs’ Venthole? Slap Colbert’s name in there? Somebody else? Get rid of all or part of the TOS? Etc. We’re not in any big hot hurry that I know of. The regular season ends May 31ish.
