James Corden, the former host of CBS Late Night, is making a comeback in the interview game.
He has announced a new interview program with Sirius XM that aims to uncover the untold stories of some of the most well-known public figures.
The show, titled “This Life of Mine with James Corden,” is set to premiere in early 2024.
More details about the show will be revealed at an investor and press event in New York later this week.
Corden stepped down as the host of CBS’ Late Late show in April as he planned to move back to his hometown of London from Los Angeles.
CBS decided to replace the show with a different concept called “After Midnight,” hosted by Taylor Tomlinson.
However, the entertainment industry is buzzing with excitement about the guests who will be appearing on Corden’s new show.
One name that has been creating a lot of buzz is Megan Markle, along with her husband, Prince Harry.
What’s particularly interesting about this situation is the speculation surrounding Megan’s potential affiliation with William Morris Endeavor (WME), a renowned Hollywood talent agency.
It is no secret that Megan has faced challenges in establishing herself in the industry, and some have speculated that Serena Williams, who is signed to WME, may have played a role in bringing Megan on board.
The question arises: why would WME take on someone who is seen as a controversial figure in the industry?
Could it be that Megan, as Prince Harry has acknowledged, is willing to go to great lengths to succeed?
According to some sources, Megan may have used threats to secure her position, which could potentially harm Serena’s reputation if things don’t work out for Megan.
After all, being blacklisted can have severe consequences, and in Hollywood, one’s reputation is everything.
However, James Corden and his team are not easily persuaded.
They are smart enough to see through any drama and ensure a smooth-running show.
Despite the speculation, it seems that Megan still has her sights set on a Hollywood reinvention.
A source close to her revealed that she has a new team working with her to strategize which mediums will have the most impact.
In April, Megan signed with WME, and rumors about her big Hollywood return have been circulating ever since.
The agency has expressed its focus on expanding her business ventures across various areas, including film and television production, brand partnerships, and more.
Insiders also shared that Megan wants her next endeavors to be rooted in giving back and philanthropy.
She has been in talks with documentary directors and fashion houses to explore these avenues.
However, Megan has faced some setbacks in her professional life, such as reportedly losing out on a three-year, $20 million contract with Dior back in July.
Additionally, their $20 million partnership with Spotify earlier this year received mixed reviews from consumers.
On a positive note, their $100 million production deal with Netflix, which was rumored to be in jeopardy a few months ago, seems to have survived.
The couple has even acquired the rights to produce a film adaptation of Carly Fortune’s best-selling novel, “Meet Me at the Lake.”
However, it appears that one production deal is not enough for the ambitious Megan.
While nothing is confirmed yet, there are discussions about Megan and Harry using docuseries to shed light on important issues and raise funds for various causes.
