Here's where you'll be able to see a 'Carpool Karaoke' spin-off show

Apple Music, one of many new TV providers creating their own content, has reportedly acquired a spin-off based on the 'Late Late Show' 'Carpool Karaoke' segment.

Another TV show will be joining a carpool.

A spin-off of the popular “Carpool Karaoke” segment from CBS’s “The Late Late Show With James Corden” is being created and will be available first on Apple Music. New episodes will stream on Apple Music every week.

Mr. Corden is not set to host at this time, but the format sounds similar to the CBS segment, with stars taking a ride and performing various tracks. 

The “Carpool Karaoke” segment on Corden’s show has attracted high-profile guests such as Michelle Obama, Adele, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Of the videos on the YouTube channel for the “Late Late Show,” the “Carpool Karaoke” segments are by far the most popular, with the segment featuring Adele currently ranking as the most-viewed, followed by those including Justin Bieber and One Direction. 

Corden debuted as host of “Late” in the spring of 2015. 

This will be the newest late-night segment to prove successful enough to become its own show, and the newest that is music-based, as well. Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” segment in which celebrities use their lip-syncing talents to face off inspired the Spike TV show “Lip Sync Battle.” 

Meanwhile, the “Carpool Karaoke” spin-off ending up at Apple Music presents a contrast between an old and new model of TV. 

Late-night TV shows themselves are old TV institutions, with NBC's “Tonight Show,” for example, having debuted in 1954. Yet Apple Music creating the new “Carpool” show demonstrates how just about any company can be a TV content provider today, with streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Yahoo Screen (which has since ended operations) changing the definitions of what a TV show is and whether watching something online is even truly watching something on “TV.”

Apple Music reportedly has more original content planned as well, such as a deal with rapper Dr. Dre for a six-episode drama series.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
