Late-night TV host James Corden to step down from "The Late Late Show" in 2023 after an eight-year run, Deadline reported.

He plans to leave the CBS show, which he signed onto for one more year, in spring 2023 after reaching 1250 episodes.

"It's been a really hard decision to leave because I'm so immensely proud of the show. I'm thrilled to be extending," Corden said to Deadline. "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."

"My bosses here at CBS have been incredibly supportive and extraordinarily patient with me while I made this decision," the host said.

Corden will speak Thursday night during his show about his decision to leave, a CBS representative told Insider. He told Deadline that he's unsure whether he will move back to the United Kingdom or stay in the US.

The host has also acted in several films — from "Peter Rabbit" to "The Prom" — and told the outlet hopes to explore other avenues of entertainment, including writing.

"Seven years ago, James Corden came to the US and took television by storm, with huge creative and comedic swings that resonated in a big way with viewers on-air and online," George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS, wrote in an emailed statement to Insider, citing Corden's comedy segments "Crosswalk the Musical" to the legendary "Carpool Karaoke."

"In my two years at CBS, I've had the privilege to see James' creative genius up close and experience his valuable partnership with CBS, both as a performer and a producer," Cheeks added. "We wish he could stay longer, but we are very proud he made CBS his American home and that this partnership will extend one more season on 'The Late Late Show.'"

"All of my greatest ambitions for what [the show] could be, it's absolutely surpassed all of them," Corden told Deadline. "My intention is to try and go out in exactly the same way we came in, which is just going out with a bang."

Representatives for Corden did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
