opting for a more conversational style and reducing the format's emphasis on U.S. fixtures such as desks and an opening monologue. Many of the show's segments, including the recurring "Carpool Karaoke" (where Corden sings with celebrity guests in a car), have become viral videos online, with the show's YouTube channel having the second-highest number of subscribers among all associated with U.S. late-night talk shows. On April 28, 2022, Corden announced that he would step down as host in 2023, stating that "I always thought I’d do it for five years and then leave, and then I stayed on. I’ve really been thinking about it for a long time, thinking whether there might be one more adventure." In February 2023, Deadline Hollywood reported that CBS was considering using Corden's departure to reevaluate the future of The Late Late Show as a franchise, with the network considering alternative formats for the timeslot that would be cheaper to produce than a traditional talk show. That month, the network reportedly settled on a Stephen Colbert-produced revival of @midnight, a social media-themed panel show aired by sibling Comedy Central from 2013 through 2017, bringing an end to The Late Late Show franchise after 28 years.
