NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
CBS announced Monday morning that James Corden will be the new host of "The Late Late Show," replacing Craig Ferguson, who announced his intent to step down back in April.
The network did not immediately say whether the show would stay in Los Angeles. "The creative elements, as well as the producers and the location for the Corden-hosted Late Late Show, will be determined and announced at a later date," the network said in a press release.
CBS's interest in Corden was first reported in August.
The 36-year-old late night newcomer, a native of Britain, has a long list of credits on television, in film and on the Broadway stage.
"Corden is a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent," CBS entertainment chairman Nina Tassler said in a statement.
Corden is the last piece of a late night line-up that has been in flux since Jimmy Fallon took over for Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" last winter.
Months later, David Letterman announced that he'd be stepping down from "The Late Show." CBS passed over Ferguson by picking Stephen Colbert as Letterman's successor. So Ferguson's subsequent decision to leave the network -- effective at the end of this year -- was not a surprise.
But Corden is. He is somewhat unknown to American audiences, but says he's ready to take on the challenge.
"I can't describe how thrilled and honoured 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."
In the United Kingdom, Corden co-created, co-wrote and starred in the BBC comedy series "Gavin and Stacey" (a role in which he earned a BAFTA TV award in 2008). He also had a recurring role in the fan favorite "Doctor Who" as Craig Owens, the Doctor's roommate.
And he's not new to hosting: from 2010 to 2014 he hosted the Brit Awards, one of the biggest award shows for the British music industry.
In the United States, Corden won a Tony Award in 2012 for best lead actor in "One Man, Two Guvnors."
