The Late Late Show star James Corden will host the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, replacing longtime host, LL Cool J.  James has a long history in musical theater and has made his singing-with-the-stars “Carpool Karaoke” segment into a viral sensation that has racked up nearly 2 billion YouTube views. The Recording Academy said they 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.
