Your favorite carpool karaoke singer is headed for the Tony Awards.

Late Late Show host (and Tony award-winner) James Corden will host theater's biggest night, which will take place on June 12 at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Tony Awards," he said in a statement. "Both times I've worked on Broadway have been amongst the happiest times of my professional life. I consider it to be a huge honor to be asked to host such an incredible night. It's going to be fun; I can't wait to dust off my tap shoes!"

It won't be Corden's first time hosting a big awards ceremony, or stepping onto the Great White Way. He's previously hosted the Brit Awards and has performed on Broadway twice: in The History Boys in 2006 and in One Man, Two Guvnors in 2012. He won a Tony for Best Actor for the latter performance.

Until the Tonys arrive, you can catch Corden on his late night show, where he invites famous friends like Adele to sing some carpool karaoke.
