LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- The Late Late Show with James Corden is to premiere March 9, with Ben Winston serving as executive producer, CBS announced Thursday.
The British 36-year-old Tony Award-winning actor is taking over as host from Craig Ferguson, the show's emcee since 2004. Ferguson, 52, announced his plans last April to leave the program at the end of this year. The announcement came as the network chose Stephen Colbert to succeed retiring Late Show star David Letterman instead of Ferguson.
