AceShowbiz - The first promo for "The Late Late Show with James Corden" has landed online via the show's newly launched YouTube channel after it first debuted during the Sunday, February 8 Grammy Awards. It sees the British funnyman posing as Zayn Malik, touting the revamped late-night talk show along with several real members of One Direction.
As Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson show their support to James Corden's new venture, Niall Horan is absent and is replaced by the show's bandleader Reggie Watts. The German-born comedian/musician gives a thumbs up, but Corden tells him, "One Direction don't do that." Much to Corden's surprise, the three young boys make the same gesture at the end of the video.
Corden will make his debut as the "Late Late Show" on March 23. The likes of John Mayer, Will Arnett, Judd Apatow and Regis Philbin have been tapped to serve as guest co-hosts after Craig Ferguson exited the show last December.
