'Late Late Show' Kicks Off With New Host James Corden, A-List Guests

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — James Corden is taking up the mantle for Craig Ferguson as the new host of the "Late Late Show."

He'll welcome actors Tom Hanks and Mila Kunis to the show and, later this week, comedian Kevin Hart and actor Will Farrell.

Corden, a household name in the U.K. that American viewers will recognize from "Into The Woods," took an inventive approach to publicizing his show by personally painting a billboard in L.A.
