James Corden's replacement is reportedly already in place for when he ends his stint on The Late Late Show in the spring of this year.

CBS plans to scrap the late-night talk show hosted by the 44-year-old British comic actor in favor of rebooting the Comedy Central game show @midnight, Deadline reported on Tuesday.

Stephen Colbert, who hosts CBS flagship late-night talk show The Late Show, will reportedly be producing the revival.

A report from an investigation into Hardwick's alleged conduct that was conducted by a law firm hired by AMC — where he hosts the Walking Dead aftershow Talking Dead — concluded that it could not confirm Dykstra's claims, though she said she had not participated with the investigation and did not 'believe in an eye for an eye.'
