After hosting "The Late Late Show" for nearly seven years, James Corden plans to leave his late-night gig behind in favor of pursuing "one more adventure." Corden, who recently extended his hosting contract with CBS for an additional year, will depart the show in summer 2023, Deadline announced on April 28.
"It's been a really hard decision to leave because I'm so immensely proud of the show."
"It's been a really hard decision to leave because I'm so immensely proud of the show," Corden said. "I'm thrilled to be extending [for a year]. I always thought I'd [host] 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."
Corden first began hosting "The Late Late Show" in 2015, succeeding Craig Ferguson, who hosted the late-night talk show for nine years. Since he first joined the show, Corden has...

Many people may only know James Corden as that British guy who hosts “The Late Late Show with James Corden” or “Carpool Karaoke.” However, the Emmy and Tony winner has a long history on stage, screen and television. This year, Corden has earned his first Golden Globe nomination for his work on Netflix’s “The Prom,” which is also nominated for Best Musical/Comedy Film.
Corden’s competition for Best Musical/Comedy Actor includes Sacha Baron Cohen (“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”), Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton”), Dev Patel (The Personal History of David Copperfield”) and Andy Samberg (“Palm Springs”). Corden is the sole first-time nominee, while Miranda and Patel are looking for their first wins. Samberg previously won on the television side for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” and Baron Cohen is looking for his second win, having triumphed in this category in 2006 for playing the same character in the first “Borat” film.

When director Ryan Murphy saw the musical The Prom on Broadway a couple of years ago right after it opened, he quickly scooped up the rights, took it to Netflix where he has a deal, and got a film version in motion in record time with an all-star cast including Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Kerry Washington. It is an old-fashioned musical comedy in the best sense (Murphy wanted to channel Singin’ in the Rain as a template), but with a relevant contemporary story about a small-town Indiana high school student barred from the prom because she wanted to bring her girlfriend as her date.
The impressive cast lined up quickly to be part of it. Four of them — Jo Ellen Pellman, James Corden, Keegan-Michael Key and Ariana DeBose — joined Deadline for the film’s panel at the Contenders Film awards season event to talk about why.
“It was a joy from start to finish.

When Ryan Murphy called Broadway choreographer Casey Nicholaw to oversee the dance numbers on his film adaptation of “The Prom,” about a group of self-absorbed theater actors who go to a conservative Indiana town to support a lesbian high school student’s dating choice, it was a sort of return engagement. After all, Nicholaw, whose credits include “Mean Girls,” “The Book of Mormon” and “Aladdin,” served as choreographer on the 2018 Broadway production of “The Prom.” And when he walked onto what had been an empty lot in downtown L.A., he got a familiar thrill — the sight of the New York Theater District.
“They built a replica of 44th Street,” he marvels, for the film’s opening number, “Changing Lives,” which sees Meryl Streep’s Dee Dee Allen and James Corden’s Barry Glickman inside Sardi’s as they await reviews of their new Broadway show. Murphy told Nicholaw he...

When the review embargo for Ryan Murphy’s Netflix musical “The Prom” broke on December 1, outrage over James Corden’s performance as Barry Glickman erupted almost instantly. “The Late Late Show” host was slammed as the most “insulting” thing about “The Prom” due to a performance that critics called “offensive,” “the worst gay-face,” and “horrifically bad.” But is the backlash really warranted?
Corden stars in “The Prom” as Barry Glickman, a Broadway veteran who gets the worst reviews of his career thanks to a failed star turn opposite co-star Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep). Desperate for a heavy dose of good publicity, the two performers decide to head to Indiana and help a lesbian teenager fight her high school after her sexual orientation bans her from the senior prom.

Who would have thought 30 years ago Meryl Streep would become the musical diva of our age? Maybe those who watched her bashfully (and beautifully) sing “You Don’t Know Me” in 1990’s Postcards from the Edge. But largely she was associated with the serious dramas of the ‘70s and ‘80s that won her two Oscars (and saw her nominated for three more) by the time she was 35: Kramer vs. Kramer, The Deer Hunter, Sophie’s Choice. Sober-eyed tearjerkers all.
But an amazing thing happened in the 21st century, didn’t it? Streep, the First Lady of the Academy Awards stage, reinvented herself as the prima donna of the musical-comedy. Sometimes that includes performances so rich that they sing even without any lyrics, such as the imperious Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. But often they come with music and verse too, be it ham-fisted kitsch like Mamma Mia! or something...

Cinematographer Matthew Libatíque has become known for his signature use of anamorphic lenses and working with light to add realism to his images.
But for Ryan Murphy’s “The Prom,” the screen adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical that premieres Dec. 11 on Netflix, he changed the approach. This time, he went with spherical lenses because he felt he was starting to repeat himself — and Murphy went along with the cinematographer’s preference.
Libatíque used large-format lenses to capture Meryl Streep’s Dee Dee Allen, a Broadway actor whose star is beginning to fade after her latest show flops on opening night. When she and fellow actor Barry Glickman (James Corden) decide they need to revive their image by latching onto a good cause, Barry, Dee Dee and a few other down-on-their-luck Broadway stars travel to Indiana to help Emma (Jo Ellen Pellman), a teenager who’s barred from the prom because she’s a lesbian.

This latest from Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy, about lesbian teenager Emma Nolan (Jo Ellen Pellman), who finds herself frozen out of her school prom when the PTA committee get wind that she wants to bring her girlfriend, puts the broad into Broadway and no mistake. Despite its welcome progressive themes of inclusivity, there's an air of pastiche about the songs that feels strained, while the big and blousy staging is oddly dated.
Before things get out of hand in terms of direction and lack of editing, there's an interesting idea, about the way stars jump on a bandwagon, often unthinkingly - something that has become self-parody in recent months on Twitter with one or two ill-judged lockdown "collaborations". And, yes, Imagine, I'm looking at you. So when Broadway stars Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep) and Barry Glickman (James Corden) find their latest show is a flop, they decide its time.

There's a fine line when it comes to straight actors playing LGBTQ+ roles. When it's an important public or historical figure, there's no question they should be portrayed by someone from the LGBTQ+ community. When it's a fictional role like Barry Glickman from The Prom, there's more of a gray area. That said, James Corden should not have been cast as Barry in Netflix's adaptation of the Broadway musical due to his over-the-top and, at times, offensive portrayal.
While The Prom features a heartwarming story about a girl just wanting to take her girlfriend to prom with the help of a few down-and-out Broadway actors, Corden's casting taints the message it's trying to say.
The issue with Corden's casting isn't his talent level; he's a Tony Award-winning actor who can sing and act. The issue is that Corden takes the role of Barry, who is...

The Prom starts with a bad review. Well, technically, Ryan Murphy’s bells-and-whistles (and-klaxons-and-sirens-and-fire-alarms-and-jackhammers) adaptation of the 2016 musical that ended up on Broadway in 2018 kicks off with an inciting act of intolerance: Emma Nolan (Jo Ellen Pellman), a senior at James Madison High School in Edgewater, Indiana, wants to take her girlfriend to the prom. The head of the P.T.A., Mrs. Greene (Kerry Washington), isn’t having it. She leads the organization in a vote to cancel the dance entirely, much to the dismay of Emma, Principal Tom Hawkins (Keegan-Michael...

Every now and then a film comes along with its heart gaudily emblazoned on its sleeve, waggling jazz hands of neediness and plaintively pleading to be loved. A film which shoots for the moon but putters out like a spent firework before it has cleared the treetops. A film like The Prom.
Emma Nolan (Jo Ellen Pellman) is a smalltown high school student making a big stand. Or, more accurately, forced to stand up and demand her right to bring the person she loves to the prom, just like everyone else. Emma’s sexual orientation isn’t a problem for her principal Mr Hawkins (Keegan-Michael Key) but the PTA – led by inflexible tiger mom Mrs Greene (Kerry Washington) – would rather cancel prom entirely than embrace inclusivity.
The decision leaves Emma isolated at school and the target of a particularly bitchy clique. Popular cheerleader Alyssa Greene (Ariana DeBose) is the only one to empathise and try,...

James Corden’s casting in “The Prom” has come under fire by several film critics and entertainment journalists now that Netflix has screened the star-studded musical for press. Corden stars in the film as Broadway actor Barry Glickman, played on stage by Brooks Ashmanskas in a Tony-nominated performance. Barry is a flamboyant and openly gay Broadway diva, which has led some press to question why Corden was cast in the role.
“Opinions differ on how acceptable it is for straight actors to play gay roles, but few straight actors could get away with a gay character like this, a role that would feel stereotypical in an ’80s sitcom and here feels offensive,” writes Newsweek critic Samuel Spencer, who notes Corden is “offensively miscast” in the role.
“After all, it is not like we have a shortage of actual gay actors who could give the role more pathos,” Spencer adds. “Was Titus Burgess busy?...

It’s every teenage girl’s dream: The high school PTA has just announced they’d rather cancel prom than let you bring your girlfriend, when a gaggle of garishly dressed Broadway stars you’ve never heard of storms in singing, “We are gonna help that little lesbian…”
Although these colorful coastal elites cause quite a stir while managing to muddle everything up, they give you a mall shopping spree, a sequined shoulder to cry on — and some killer song and dance routines. That’s “The Prom.”
Aside from its impassioned overtures for LGBTQ+ rights, “The Prom” has all the makings of a classic Hollywood musical: Haughty urbanites descend reluctantly on a small provincial town seeking validation and instead find love, connection, and renewed life’s purpose. It’s like if the strivers from “The Philadelphia Story” went to Allentown to help Peggy Sawyer find her way to “42nd Street.

Among the shiny, bouncy, madly infectious musical numbers that are a big part of what make Ryan Murphy’s “The Prom” such an old-fashioned newfangled blast, one of the show-stopping highlights is “Love Thy Neighbor,” which Trent (Andrew Rannells), a struggling Broadway drama queen who has landed on the distant planet known as small-town Indiana, sings to a bunch of clean-cut and pious Middle American teenagers from James Madison High School. They’re at a shopping-mall food court, where one of the students tells Trent, “We don’t have a drama program,” causing Trent to snap, “That explains your general lack of empathy.”

The world has finally seen “The Prom,” Ryan Murphy’s star-studded Netflix musical led by Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Kerry Washington, Keegan-Michael Key, Andrew Rannells, and newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman. Select audiences, industry, and press were treated to the world premiere of the film on Netflix on Sunday, and a wide range of first reactions from the screening are emerging. See below.
“The Prom” is the film version of Chad Beguelin, Bob Martin and Matthew Sklar’s award-winning, Tony-nominated Broadway musical. “The reason that [the musical] spoke to me is I wished when I was young I had a film like this to see,” Murphy said in a Q& after the film. “I wished that when I was growing up, I did not feel so alone in my life. Like Jo Ellen’s character, I am also from Indiana. It was a very similar feeling where I was searching for...

Since making the big move from FX to Netflix under his sweeping umbrella deal, gay media mogul Ryan Murphy has wasted no time populating the streamer with his distinct brand of bubblegum-flavored LGBTQ media. While he already had many TV projects in the pipeline, Murphy looked to Broadway for film inspiration. He began with “The Boys in the Band,” transferring Joe Mantello’s Tony-winning revival of Mart Crowley’s 1968 play to the platform, which recently premiered to positive reviews. For his next trick, Murphy adapted the 2018 Tony-nominated musical “The Prom,” which follows a group of washed up Broadway actors who help a midwestern teenager take her girlfriend to prom. What begins as a publicity stunt to jumpstart their flailing careers ends up melting their cold, ambitious actor hearts.

Ryan Murphy's new musical film for Netflix, The Prom, has cast Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Ariana Grande, and more.
The play is the thing, and for Netflix and Ryan Murphy, it’s a musical at that. Murphy, who has signed a major five-year deal for Netflix, is about to mount his first film for the streaming giant: a movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, The Prom. And now they’re revealing to Deadline their star-studded cast, which includes Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Ariana Grande, James Corden, Keegan-Michael Key, and Awkwafina… not bad for a film at a company some in the industry argue can produce only television films.
The project, which is the kickoff of a variety of series and films Murphy is developing for Netflix, is based off a 2018 musical of the same name with music and lyrics by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin.
