He hosted the Tony Awards and now late night host James Corden will host the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.
James will take over Grammy hosting from LL Cool J, who has been hosting five years. I think this is a great choice in a host.
“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,” said Recording Academy President and 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.”
James added, “I am truly honored to be hosting The Grammys next year. It’s the biggest, most prestigious award show in music and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such an incredible night.”
Recently James has been filming Carpool Karaoke with Madonna and Bruno Mars. Hopefully, he will do a special for the Grammy Awards!
The Grammys are set to be broadcast live from Staples Center in Los Angeles Sunday, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. PT.
