Popular talk show host, James Corden has been announced as the host of the 59th Annual Grammy Awards taking place next year.
The 38-year-old star of “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on CBS will take over Grammy hosting duties from hip-hop artist ‘LL Cool J’, who departs after hosting the prestigious awards for five straight years.
“Thanks to ‘Carpool Karaoke,’ we’ve all been on some incredible rides with James, and The Recording Academy couldn’t be more excited to welcome his passion and enthusiasm for music, both as an entertainer and a fan, to the Grammy stage on February 12,” Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow said.
“He’s got big shoes to fill after the magnificent run we had with LL Cool J, but James Corden is a commanding, dynamic showman who, we believe, is perfect to host the Grammy Awards.” He added.
James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke” segment on his show has featured some of music’s biggest stars, including Adele, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John, Justin Bieber and even the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.
