He won a Tony Award for the play “One Man, Two Guvnors,” starred in “One Chance, Gulliver’s Travels,” and guest-starred on “Doctor Who.” He will appear in Disney’s “Into the Woods.”

Ferguson announced in April that he would end his run as host of “The Late Late Show” at the end of the year. He has been host of the show since 2005, when Craig Kilborn left the slot.

Late-night talk shows have seen a lot of change this year. Jimmy Fallon just aired his 100th episode of "The Tonight Show" after replacing Jay Leno; Seth Meyers left "Saturday Night Live" and took over Fallon's spot at "Late Night;" and comedian Stephen Colbert was tapped to replace David Letterman on "The Late Show" in 2015.

Twitter users had mixed reactions about Corden.

Also, I'm totally down with James Corden replacing Craig Ferguson if that rumor is true. Will miss Craig terribly but James is brilliant.

Kind of hope James Corden doesn't replace @CraigyFerg. So many great theater/film performances he won't give http://t.co/Rnv3AAZqQi
