This will be Corden’s first time hosting the music trophy show, which will be broadcast live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 12 at 8 PM on CBS. He’ll take the reins from hip-hop artist and NCIS: Los Angeles star LL Cool J, who is exiting after a five-year hosting stint.

“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 Feb. 12,” said Recording Academy president/CEO Neil Portnow. “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.

Corden earned critical praise as host of the Tony Awards in June. Since taking over The Late Late Show in March 2015, the show has won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Interactive Program and become known for Corden’s groundbreaking videos and sketches, including his signature Carpool Karaoke segment, which has featured music superstars Adele, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John and Justin Bieber, among others. The segement has set YouTube records, with nearly 2 billion views and more than 8 million subscribers for the show’s YouTube channel. The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special won an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special.

I think this 'hosting' thing only matters at the Oscars but slay James!

He should be hosting the Oscars or call Ellen again!

Yey! He's a great and funny guy (I kinda don't like his reaction about feeling miserable with Britney during the Carpool tho...)
