“I just tested positive for COVID-19,” Corden said on social media. “I’m fully vaccinated, boosted and because of this am fortunate enough to say I feel completely fine.”<\/p>\n

Due to his illness, his show will be canceled for the next few days, he said.<\/p>\n

“Stay safe everyone,” he added.<\/p>\n

Ian Karmel, the head writer for The Late Late Show,<\/i> poked fun at Corden’s illness, stating on Twitter, “I told him it was hacky to do this after Fallon and Seth both did it, but whatever.”\n<\/p>\n
