Threatening To Quit

June 18, 2019 Blind Gossip

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This entertainer is threatening to quit his TV job.

However, it’s actually a fake move.

It’s all a negotiating ploy.

He loves the job and how much leverage it gives him to get other work, like acting gigs and hosting gigs.

He just wants more money. That’s why he is threatening to quit.

They are in the late stages of the negotiation, so he is pulling out all the stops to drive them towards that big pay package. The threat to walk is the final ploy. Not funny, but effective.

Will the network cave to his demands?

We think they will. Our bet is that they bump our nighttime man’s salary AND lock him down for several years!

SOLVED!

Entertainer: James Corden

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you two months ago that James Corden’s threats to quit his job as host of the Late Late Show were fake.

We were right.

Corden started talking about going back to England… just as contract negotiation began.

We’re a long way from home, my wife and I, and our children, and there are people at home that we miss deeply and we care about and they’re getting older. There is [also] the question of where do we educate our children and where is the best environment for them.

That was all a lot of smoke.

He loves the job. He just wanted more money. We predicted that the network would pay him more and lock him in for several more years.

Well, contract negotiations have concluded… and Corden is now locked in until 2022!

From The New York Times:

James Corden to Remain as Host of ‘Late Late Show’ on CBS

James Corden, a onetime comic performer on the London stage who found his niche on American late-night television as the host of “The Late Late Show” on CBS, will continue to hold down the network’s 12:30 a.m. slot for the next few years.

CBS announced on Monday that it had extended Mr. Corden’s contract through 2022.

He hit the airwaves in 2015, a time when the late-night landscape was in the midst of a substantial reordering. David Letterman and Jon Stewart both left their late-night shows in 2015.

Jay Leno had stepped down from “The Tonight Show” in 2014. Mr. Corden replaced Craig Ferguson, who left as host of “The Late Late Show” in 2014.

Guess that Corden decided that he doesn’t miss the folks back home as much as he thought he did and that the U.S. is the best place to educate his children.

After all, those were the critical decision factors, right?

Nah. It was always about the money!

James Corden’s current salary is in the $4-5M per year range. The contract renewal does include a substantial salary increase, although that exact number has not been disclosed.

Congratulations to LeeLee12345 for being first with the correct response!

    James Corden also acts and hosts award shows so it’s got to be him. I love his show because his couch the closest thing we have in the States to a Graham Norton style chat show, which is my favorite.

    Definitely Alec Baldwin. Loves playing Trump, likes Lorne, loves being in the headlines, but don’t blame him for asking for more money. He’s great at the gig.

    It’s James Corden. Please don’t send him back. He’s insufferable. I try not to speak for other people but nobody in the UK can stand him.

    This sounds like a late-night, talk show host. But the clue is “Not funny”, and that could really be any of them.

    James corden. He’s saying he wasn’t too move back to England. That it would be the best place to raise his kids. I’ve never really watched his show. Caught a couple of the car pool karaoke, some are pretty good

  8. Conchord says

    June 19, 2019 at 3:36 am

    This sounds like James Corden. He’s the only late night host who does a decent amount of acting on the side (often voice acting, but still).

    James Corden. I don’t really care for him, but I do think he gets better guests than the other shows, and Carpool Karaoke and Spill Your Guts (or Fill Your Guts) are very entertaining.

    I don’t know. But that unfunny disaster, Jimmy Fallon’s contract appears to run to 2021. Fallon should pay THEM to be there. He’ll be know as the man who killed The Tonight Show which survived 60 years without him. King Johnny Carson is rolling in his grave.

  40. aaaLmw14 says

    James Corden complaining that he’s homesick and wants to raise his kids in England. Already complained about being the lowest paid chat show host on US TV.

    • Conchord says

      June 19, 2019 at 9:42 am

      That seems like a strange thing for him to complain about. He doesn’t have the following that Fallon, Colbert and Kimmel have built up over many years; he was practically unknown in the US when he got the job. And he has the lowest ratings; even Nightline edges him in viewers. Why would he expect to be anything but the lowest paid?

    James Cordon comes to mind with the “stops” and “drive”. He does those
    musicals in city crosswalks…

    He was great in Ocean’s 8 and I liked his hosting the Tonys.

    I usually only catch his show in bits here and there, but I like him better than
    any other current late night host.

    Sounds like James Corden as he is the only nighttime host that regularly acts, sings and dances in movies, and hosts award shows (The Tony’s).

    He’s very talented and his show is great.

  59. CharpBunny says

    June 18, 2019 at 12:09 pm

    Oh god, James Cordon. Supposedly he wanted to ‘leave’ so he could move back to London to raise his Kids. Saying something along the lines of ‘England would be a better place to raise them’. America is good enough for you to ‘break out’ in but not raise your over privileged kids in. He’s always just grinded my gears til no end. Bring back Ferguson !!!

    • spookie says

      Totally agree on both. I’ve never found him remotely funny, 🙄 and know many others who don’t either, I’m sorry if America gets to keep him for longer, but please don’t send him back to the UK! 😬

    • BoogalooShrimp says

      June 21, 2019 at 10:29 am

      If it’s Corden I hope the CBS execs catch on to how disliked he is by many people due to being a colossal *.

      How can they not have cottoned on to that after that disastrous Reddit AMA just the other day? smh
