In an all-new interview with Yahoo News anchor Katie Couric, LATE LATE SHOW host James Corden shares his excitement over being named the host of the 2016 TONY AWARDS. "I've had the best time of my professional life, without question, working on Broadway," says the Tony winner and star of Broadway's ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS. "There are more talented people in that 15 blocks than I think anywhere else on the planet."

The funny man goes on to share his thoughts on the Broadway sensation Hamilton, explaining "It's one of a couple of times when I've been in a theater where I felt like my applause is not enough for the gratitude I feel for what you've given me. It's a masterpiece."

Watch the interview in full below in which Corden shows off his rapping skills performing the HAMILTON show-stopper 'Guns and Ships"!

James Corden serves as host of CBS's THE LATE LATE SHOW and was recently named host of the 2016 TONY AWARDS. In 2014, he starred opposite Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Emily Blunt in the Golden Globe Award-nominated feature film INTO THE WOODS. Additionally, Corden has hosted the BAFTA Award-winning UK sports-themed comedy game show "A League of Their Own" and starred in, produced and wrote the BAFTA nominated comedy thriller "The Wrong Mans." In 2013, Corden was awarded the Royal Television Society Award for Comedy Writer of the Year for his work on the show.

Outside of his native England, Corden attracted international attention as the lead in the hit comedic play "One Man, Two Guvnors," performing first in the National Theatre and the West End in London and then on Broadway, which earned him the 2012 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. His additional theater credits include the worldwide tour of "The History Boys" in the role of Timms, which he also played in the feature film adaptation.
