That's completely possible, maybe even probable, and that it's cancelled within six months.It's going to be a bumpy ride, and we're going to be tested in so many ways. It's a brand-new show hosted by an unknown quantity, to an audience that I don't know. If the show fails, it doesn't mean I'm suddenly bad or awful. It's an adventure and if it doesn't work, I'll go home and carry on.'' Corden is taking over as presenter of The Late Late Show from Scottish-born comedian Craig Ferguson who spent 10 years as host.
