CBS Studios International and TV giant Sky have inked a deal that will allow the hilarious comedian's US talk show to screen across the pond, one day after it is broadcast in the States, from July 19.

Sky's Gary Davey said: "'The Late Late Show' has become a global cultural phenomenon and the UK and Ireland audience has delighted in James' runaway Stateside success.

"There is a huge appetite from UK and Irish fans to enjoy the antics of 'The Late Late Show' first hand and we are thrilled to exclusively bring the show direct to our customers."

To celebrate the newly-signed agreement, Sky 1 have decided to screen a one-off 'The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special', featuring singing segments with Adele, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey, on its channel on July 19.

CBS' Armando Nuñez said: "In just over a year, James has made a very big mark on US late night television with a critically acclaimed show that features the biggest names in entertainment, and unique segments that quickly become digital sensations. We're excited that UK audiences will get to experience all the energy and excitement of the series with our terrific partners at Sky."
