From 2003 through 2011, the Grammys went host-less — except for in 2005 when Queen Latifah hosted. Since then, there were five straight years of LL Cool J hosting, followed by Corden in his second year. But The Late Late Show host says, “in truth, this show doesn’t need a host,” adding: “Most awards shows are groups of millionaires giving each other gold statues. So you need a host to make it feel like a show. This is the best (music) lineup you could ever imagine to see. What we have to do is essentially be there for the moments when (producers) realize they need the cameras to be facing somewhere else.”
