Tony-winning British actor James Corden will replace comedian Craig Ferguson as host of “The Late Late Show” next year, the CBS television network said on Monday.

    Corden, 36, won a 2012 Tony award for best actor in “One Man, Two Guvnors,” and plays opposite Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo in “Begin Again.”

    Corden said he was thrilled and honored to be taking over from Ferguson.

    CBS said the location of the show will be determined and announced at a later date.

    Ferguson, who has been the host of the CBS late night talk show for the past decade, announced his plans to retire in April. He will finish his stint as host in December.
