At the beginning of the year, we reported that the very funny Sean O’Connor and Ian Karmel were brought on board to write for the new Late Late Show hosted by James Corden.

As their premiere is less than a month away, they’ve filled the rest of their writing staff.

So, the writers of The Late Late Show with James Corden are:

Mike Gibbons who is the co-creator of Tosh.0
Sean O’Connor
Ian Karmel
James Davis who recently appeared on Last Call with Carson Daly
Lauren Greenberg
Ben Hoffman from The Ben Show
David Dineen-Porter (host of Party of Four podcast)
Nedaa Sweiss
DJ Javerbaum from The Daily Show

So, this bunch makes for a good, wide mix along with Corden and Reggie Watts that has us even more enticed for their debut.

Of all the Canadians that we should be getting on board with here Stateside, the absolutely hysterical Jon Dore is definitely in the top of that list.

That’s why were glad to see that he’ll be starring in a divorce comedy pilot at CBS “The Half of It” from Mike Gibbons, who also happens to be the executive producer at The Late Late Show with James Corden.

We know this is just a pilot and it still has yet to be shot, then considered for series, but in regards to seeing more of Dore, we say it’s about damn time.

The Late Late Show with James Corden Has Premiere Date Moved and Gets Reggie Watts to Leave Comedy Bang! Bang! To Be Their Bandleader

Originally, James Corden was supposed to take over The Late Late Show from Craig Ferguson on Mar. 9th, but CBS has opted to move the start date two weeks back to Mar. 23rd.

We’re not sure the exact reasoning behind that, but, perhaps, it might have something to do with getting the one and only Reggie Watts, who is the current bandleader on Comedy Bang! Bang! at IFC, to come over to pair up with Corden.

At first, we thought that he might split his time between the two shows like Fred Armisen does at Late Night with Seth Meyers, but Comedy Bang! Bang! host Scott Aukerman confirmed in a series of tweets that Watts will be leaving as his bandleader in the second half of 2015.

Reggie is sticking around thru the first half of 2015, during which he have planned a very fitting goodbye for him.

Aukerman also added that we all should be listening for shouting in the streets in regards to who the exciting new bandleader for Comedy Bang! Bang! will be soon.

Who will be the new bandleader? I can’t say yet but it’s very exciting. Please listen for newsies shouting on street corners in early 2015.

On top of all of that, Corden has gotten a team of veteran producers who have run the gamut in late night including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call with Carson Daly, Lopez Tonight, and more. One of these producers, Mike Gibbons, has even been noted to be the co-creator of Tosh.0.

All of this makes for a much more intriguing beginning to Corden’s start at 12:35AM here in America.
