James Corden is back, ladies and gentlemen!

The host of The Late Late Show is revisiting another of his hosting gigs — that of the 2019 Tony Awards.

The ceremony is theatre’s biggest night, honoring all the stage productions that had people dancing, singing, laughing, and crying throughout the year.

This will not be the first time that the Brit has played MC to this particular gig as he commandeered the event three years ago. So good was the job he did, in fact, that the entire performance won Best Special Class Program at the 2016 Emmys.

James will now be hoping to repeat the feat at the 73rd Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in June.

The 40-year-old is, of course, no stranger to the awards stage in his own capacity, having taken home the lead actor prize for his turn in the 2011 play One Man, Two Guvnors.

Please be seated for the live telecast of the 2019 Tony Awards on the 9th of June.
