The new host of The Late Late Show spoke to BuzzFeed News about why it’s wrong to judge the programme as a failure if ratings are poor, and why he’s stopping nearly all his other commitments to concentrate solely on it.

If you're in the UK, you'll know James Corden as a Brit Awards host, a star in Gavin and Stacey and The Wrong Mans, and as Craig, the 11th Doctor's flatmate, in Doctor Who. If you're in the US, you might recognise Corden from his role in the film of Into the Woods and his involvement in the Tony Award winning One Man, Two Guvnors, which started in England and ended on Broadway. He's had a varied and successful career as actor, writer, producer, and comedian. So why is he giving up other commitments up to focus on presenting The Late Late Show, a chat show that runs daily at half past midnight in America?
BuzzFeed News met Corden at his offices in CBS Studios in Los Angeles, where the show will be recorded. What was supposed to be a half-hour interview ran well over an hour as we spoke candidly about why he reckons ratings will be poor for his show, why he went for this project and why he doesn't think his career will be over if it doesn't work.
