CBS has announced its host for the 59th Grammy Awards, and for the first time in five years it’s not LL Cool J. Instead, James Corden, “The Late, Late Show” host and star of the wildly successful “Carpool Karaoke” videos, will lead music’s biggest award ceremony when it airs on Feb. 12, 2017. With Corden, the Grammys get a confident entertainer who can inject joy into the proceedings, as seen in those viral “Carpool Karaoke” clips. Notables including Adele, Mariah Carey, Elton John, Justin Bieber and others have ridden with Corden, as has First Lady Michelle Obama. Which is to say, expect “Carpool Karaoke” to feature into the Grammy Awards.
