CBS named Brit personality James Corden Corden as a the show’s next host in September.
Corden’s expected to take over “The Late Late Show” in 2015, although it’s unclear whether the show will stay in Los Angeles, as CNNMoney reports.
CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tassler called Corden a “rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent. He is the ultimate multi-hyphenate — a writer, creator and performer who is loved and respected in every medium he touches, including theater, comedy, music, film and television.”
Who is James Corden and why is he the new host of ‘Late Late Show’?
