Read our privacy policy James Corden has announced that he will be stepping down as host of The Late Late Show in 2023, after joining the institution in 2015.

A lot of things happened in 2009 – from Obama’s inauguration and Michael Jackson’s death, to Kanye hijacking Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs – so you’d be forgiven if you’d forgotten about Corden and Matthew Horne’s short-lived sketch show, Horne & Corden.
