    James Corden, "Late Late Show" host

    I haven't watched his show much, but he is funny and I think I know why he had the "Chewbacca Mom" on his show a few weeks back..

    ...Raised in a devoutly Christian home, Corden grew up attending church in the U.K. But following a period of partying, loneliness and heartbreak seven years ago, his life changed after an evening of prayer with his parents, and a new perspective helped create one of TV’s most infectious personalities.


    Years before he took the hosting gig at CBS, Corden experienced a moment that served as a turning point in his life.

    He told Heat magazine that earlier in his career, he got caught up his newfound celebrity, sleeping with strangers, partying and ending nights “in beds I’d never slept in before, with girls I’d never met before.” He said, “The longer it went on, the emptier my soul felt.”

    In an interview with BBC Radio 4 back in 2012, he recounted the moment when his fast-paced lifestyle, drinking and several failed relationships left him depressed, empty and alone. His star was rising in the U.K., but his own behavior at TV awards shows embarrassed him. Ashamed, he sat alone in his London apartment.

    "The person I had become wasn’t the person I wanted to be," he explained the moment to the Daily Mail. "I had drifted so far from family and friends that I didn’t really know how to pick up the phone and talk to them any more. I was lost and needed to find myself.’

    It was at that moment that his parents—a couple who Corden has called “the ideal Christians”—showed up unannounced.

    “‘They sat on the tiny two-seater sofa and I sat on the floor,” he said. “I was just talking to the floor really. I felt embarrassment that they were seeing me like this, so embarrassed about so many things – about the way I’d behaved or acted at points over that seven or eight-month period.”

    “My dad just stood up and walked across to where I was, and he just put his arms round me and said, ‘You’ve just got to get through this, son.’ I started to cry. Just as you do when your dad hugs you and you are 30. My mum came over and joined us and we sat there. My dad said, ‘I’m going to say a prayer for you. It will be all right, but you can’t carry on like this and only you can decide what happens now.’"

    He wrote, “Every tear that left my eyes made me feel a little lighter. Dad said a prayer as he kissed my forehead, and Mum came over and joined the hug. I’ve no idea how long we stayed there, but it felt like a lifetime. When they left later on, Dad turned to me and said: 'You’ve so much to be thankful for, James. I know it’s been a tricky year, but you can’t carry on like this.'"

    It was a life-changing moment.

    Cool. I've never really watched him. I'm not into the late-night talk shows.
