He also performed in the 2004 Broadway cast of The History Boys and the film version of that play.

On-screen, Corden starred as the Baker in the Into the Woods film. He is a BAFTA winner for his work on his three-season BBC series Gavin & Stacey. He was honored with an OBE (Order of the British Empire) for his services to entertainment and charity by the Queen of England during the annual New Year's Honors in 2014. As part of his duties at the helm of The Late Late Show, Corden hosts the popular video series Carpool Karaoke.
