James Corden taking break from 'Late Late Show' after 'minor' eye surgery

James Corden is recovering from eye surgery.

On Wednesday, the late-night host revealed that he underwent a minor procedure, causing some delay in the production of "The Late Late Show with James Corden."

"Hey all. I had to have minor surgery on my eye yesterday," Corden wrote in a statement posted to Instagram, although he didn't disclose what prompted the surgery. "I am doing well and recovering, but won't be able to film new episode for a few nights."

Corden has been broadcasting his "Late Late Show" from his garage ever since the coronavirus pandemic shut down production in the entertainment industry as a health precaution in mid-March.

"Thank you to everyone who has been watching the Late Late Shows from my garage," Corden concluded his message. "Stay safe and well everybody."

After "Late Late Show" production came to a halt on March 15, Corden returned to the small screen on March 30 with his coronavirus-safe "Homefest" special, virtually hosting celebrity guests from the comfort of their homes.

During the special, the British host got candid about his feelings during the "scary weeks" of the coronavirus pandemic that has wreaked havoc globally.

"I've found it tougher than I ever thought I would. I found myself having these incredible spikes of anxiety and sadness when I allowed myself to think about my family back home in England, or my friends, or the people I love," said Corden. "You feel so out of control. It feels so out of our comprehension, all of it. I found I get sort of overwhelmed with the sadness, really."

But Corden said he's learned it's all right to be sad during these times.

"It's OK to feel anxious. The best thing we can all do is kind of breathe through that and put our minds in a positive place," he said.

Corden has been sheltering at home with wife Julia and their three kids – son Max, 9, and daughters Carey, 5, and Charlotte, 2.
