James Corden is no stranger to the Tony Awards (he won Best Actor in a Play for his role in One Man, Two Guvnors in 2012), but the actor has recently drifted from the stage and onto our screens. You can most easily find Corden on the Late Late Show and slaying it with Adele in karaoke carpool.
Now Corden has been invited back to host the Tony Awards on Sunday, June 12. Nominations will be announced on Tuesday, May 3, but you can expect a performance from Hamilton (which, of course, is going to win, like, everything).
Oh, and for a total #TBT, here's James Corden accepting his Tony Award four years ago:

        In Oh, Mary!, President Abraham Lincoln (Conrad Ricamora) has his hands full with the Civil War — as well as the antics of his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln (Cole Escola), an alcoholic who is less concerned with a divided country than with dreams of becoming a cabaret star. But Lincoln’s eyes keep wandering from the task at hand to his handsome assistant, Simon (Tony Macht). Anguished after seducing Simon, he prays to God to make his gay desires go away. Keep Reading →
