James Corden has spoken about booking guests for CBS chatshow The Late Late Show saying his guests won't be the "butt of the joke" and he wants them to "shine".
Corden is taking over the show following Craig Ferguson's departure, with his first turn as host set to air on March 23.
Speaking to Variety, the Into The Woods star said, "I don't know if I'm making a huge mistake. But I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something. I think we have a real shot at enjoying ourselves for a bit, which is ultimately all you ever really want, isn't it?"
He added of booking guests, "The hardest struggle is trying to convince people that this is a place where no-one is ever going to be the butt of the joke. All we want is our guests to shine, because if the guests shine, the show shines. If the show shines, then I shine."
Kerry Washington, Will Ferrell and Tom Hanks will join Corden on the show in it's first week.
