James Corden to Host LLS
After weeks of speculation, CBS confirmed Monday that British actor/writer/comedian James Corden will be the new host of The Late Late Show, beginning in 2015. “James Corden is a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent,” Nina Tassler, chairman of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. “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,” she added. Corden will have the advantage of a lead-in from David Letterman for several months, before Letterman retires and Stephen Colbert becomes the new host of The Late Show. When the news was announced, Craig tweeted:

Congratulations to the spectacularly talented James Corden who will take over the LLS after me. Great choice. I heartily endorse & approve.

We’ll have more reactions and an update in our next regular post.
