JAMES CORDEN, THE actor probably best known to the general masses as Smithy from Gavin and Stacy and the guy who interrupted Adele’s Brits speech, is apparently the frontrunner to take over U.S. talkshow The Late Late Show. Current Scottish host Craig Ferguson announced he would be stepping down this December.

He hasn’t been officially announced yet, but according to The Wrap, the Tony-award winner is as good as in the seat. That didn’t stop Twitter from reaction with a resounding WTF?

There was sympathy for America

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

First Piers Morgan and now James Corden?

There are winners all round

If James Corden replaces Craig Ferguson, you know what that means? He won't present the Brit Awards again. Everyone wins.

But not everyone is upset

Whoops!

But it’s still a bit weird

Now, I quite like James Corden but in what weird alternate universe have I stepped into when he could replace Craig Ferguson on TLLS
