Late Night Series to Be Broadcast for the First Time in Portugal

LOS ANGELES, LISBON and AMSTERDAM – March 21, 2018 – CBS Studios International today has announced a licensing agreement with SIC in Portugal for the basic cable rights to THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN.

Recurring segments and sketches have generated buzzworthy videos that have gone on to become viral hits, like “Crosswalk: The Musical,” with others becoming global spin-off series including CARPOOL KARAOKE and DROP THE MIC.

We hope people enjoy watching this show a fraction as much as we have enjoyed watching those legends,” said Ben Winston and Rob Crabbe, Executive Producers, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN.
