James Corden Becomes Partner in Fulwell 73

LOS ANGELES: James Corden has joined producer Fulwell 73 as its fifth full partner.

Corden joins existing Fulwell partners and founding members Gabe Turner, Ben Turner, Ben Winston and Leo Pearlman. The working relationship between the Fulwell 73 partners and Corden stretches back almost 15 years. Their collaborative projects include James Corden’s World Cup Live and When Corden Met Barlow.

Fulwell 73 recently signed a development deal with CBS Television Studios, with which it co-produces The Late Late Show with James Corden. Fulwell 73, in conjunction with CBS Television Studios, will also produce the new series Carpool Karaoke for Apple Music and Drop the Mic for TBS, based on the popular Late Late Show with James Corden segments.

Pearlman said: “Gabe, Ben, Ben and I formed this company nearly ten years ago and have all worked incredibly hard to build a business we are proud of, a business that tries to do things a little differently to the rest of the industry. To date, we’ve been fiercely protective of Fulwell and never really considered the interest that has come our way from potential partners and investors. And yet James joining as the fifth partner feels like the most natural and obvious step for all of us. He has been a good friend, key creative influence and talent we have turned to time and time again and the chance to formalize our relationship with him was a chance too good to pass up. We all believe Fulwell to be a far greater company with his involvement and look forward to many years of working with him in the future.”

Corden commented: “In many ways, I’ve felt like an unofficial partner for many years, and now that it’s official I feel incredibly proud to have joined this incredible company. In Gabe, Ben, Leo and Ben, I feel I’m working with the most vibrant, passionate, talented directors and producers I’ve ever met. Watching Fulwell 73 have such phenomenal growth over the past decade has been inspiring to watch. I feel lucky and proud to be part of it and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together.”

Gabe Turner added: “James has shown the world what an incredible on-screen talent he is for many years. But he is also, without question, one of the most creative and accomplished producers in the business. We are so delighted to have him as our partner at Fulwell.”
