UPDATED: Reggie Watts will be James Corden’s band leader on The Late Late Show
While CBS continues to prepare itself for the departure of Craig Ferguson from The Late Late Show, it’s already named Reggie Watts as James Corden’s band leader when Corden takes over in March. Watts is no stranger to the sidekick position–he’s spent three seasons as Scott Aukerman’s foil on Comedy Bang! Bang!. He also has commonality with Late Night With Seth Meyers’ Fred Armisen, as they’ve both proven apt at switching between the worlds of comedy and music without being afraid of letting them bleed into one another.
