Cindy Ord/Getty Image(NEW YORK) — British actor James Corden will make his debut as the host of The Late Late Show starting March 9, 2015, CBS announced Thursday.
“I can’t describe how thrilled and honored I am to be taking over from the brilliant Craig Ferguson,” Corden said in a statement. “To be asked to host such a prestigious show on America’s #1 network is hugely exciting. I can’t wait to get started, and will do my very best to make a show America will enjoy.”
The late night show will tape in Los Angeles with Ben Winston serving as the show’s executive producer.
Ferguson, who has hosted the show for 10 years, will depart the CBS series on Dec. 19. He revealed his departure right after David Letterman announced his retirement from CBS’ Late Show. He will be replaced by Stephen Colbert sometime next year.
Corden can currently be seen on the big screen with Keira Knightley in Begin Again. The actor also has a role in Disney’s Into the Woods, due out in December.
