It was the third time in the show's history that it aired from another country, with Ferguson taking his incarnation to Paris, France, in 2011[3] and Scotland in 2012.

Tassler cited Corden's work in such media as theatre, film and television, and called him "loved and respected" in all of them.

[11] He also appeared on an episode hosted by Judd Apatow to job shadow, stating he wanted to "learn from his mistakes".

[15] The other personnel in the band are Tim Young on lead guitars, Steve Scalfati on keyboards, Hagar Ben-Ari on bass, and Guillermo E. Brown on drums.

[16] The show's title sequence, which was supposed to be directed by J. J. Abrams, was filmed by the visual firm of Trollbäck + Company, and depicts James Corden and Reggie Watts traveling around Los Angeles in a lowrider and on LED bikes, including some graphics and light painting with a Pixelstick.

James originally wanted JJ Abrams to film him, and Reggie scored to a Mark Ronson track.

We managed to shoot everything in one night with LED bikes, a Lowrider, and a Pixelstick setting an eclectic visual tone for this experimental new show.

As is more typical in British talk shows, the host sits to the left of the guests, a reversal of the traditional American layout.

From March 30, 2020, the show resumed production with Corden hosting from inside his garage and communicating with his band and guests via Zoom video link.

Per recommendations by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the program temporarily returned to an at-home format on January 4, 2021.

[29] Later, after a prompt by Hanks, Corden appeared to score a coup by getting Mila Kunis to admit that she and Ashton Kutcher are married, but a source later claimed she was merely joking.

[33] The episode featured Corden and Sting outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater singing "Every Breath You Take" in the show's cold open and a monologue with a Top Ten List among other tributes to Letterman.

[34] On February 28, 2019, Corden helped announce the comeback of the Jonas Brothers by publishing a clip from an upcoming "Carpool Karaoke" segment which features them as guests.

[91] In Hong Kong, the show had been broadcast at 10:30 p.m. HKT every Friday on ViuTVsix, free-to-air television channel, since April 5, 2019.
