    James Corden is "very very humbled" by the success of 'The Late Late Show with James Corden'

    The 38-year-old British actor first launched the American talk show in March 2015, and the funnyman is "very proud" of the programme because he believes it has "surpassed" everybody's expectations, although he was "nervous" at first about setting it up.


    Speaking to E! News about the channel, which has seen celebrity guests including Sir Patrick Stewart, Idris Elba and Allison Williams quizzed by the former 'Gavin and Stacey' star, he said: "I don't know that there was anything I could read that would make me more nervous than I was or want to make a better show. I just wanted to make the best show I could, you know? I felt like we had a good team and the only positive you can take is you're not starting on a negative.

    "I feel very, very humbled by it. I'm very proud of the two years we've had. I think it surpassed anybody's hopes or estimations of what we could have achieved.

    "Now that people know what the show is [it's easier]. I think when we launched our first week, we didn't have anyone booked for week two because people were like 'I don't know who this guy is. Slowly but surely, we've been able to turn that around and I feel like we're now a place where people want to come and they want to come back and that's lovely."

    And the television host - who has six-year-old son Max and two-year-old daughter Carey with his wife Julia - has revealed he has had a number of pinch-me moments whilst shooting the show, but his favourite moment was walking around the White House and having Michelle Obama join him in a Carpool Karaoke sketch.

    He said: "You're walking around the White House and thinking this is amazing. There have been so many moments where we pinch ourselves if I'm being honest."
