o The actor was on CBS Sunday Morning this weekend, where he got candid about his Parkinson’s disease and his future.
o He was diagnosed in 1991 when he was 29, however he didn’t tell the public until 1998.
o He said that his diagnosis is likely due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors and it is very possible that he did some damage in the 80s.
o He also said that it’s getting harder to live with the disease and it is highly unlikely that he’ll live to the age of 80.
#LateLateShow
o The final episode aired last week and we’re now hearing why.
o Sources say that the show cost $60 million to $65 million a year to produce.
o Unfortunately, it made less than $45 million.
o The show was hosted by James Corden since 2015 and Corden’s salary when he started was between $4 million to $5 million.
o Over the years, the salary increased and it was determined that having him on board was too costly.
o Rather than find a new host, the network is ending the 28-year-old show entirely.
