James Corden On His Goals As Host Of The GRAMMY Awards

(CBS NEWS) – "The Late Late Show" host James Corden has been tapped to emcee music's biggest night. About 18,000 will gather at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Sunday for the 59th Grammy Awards, airing on CBS.

Corden will take the stage alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry, like Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Adele. CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy asked Corden if he's feeling any pressure.

"So kind of on a scale of calm, cool and collected to losing your mind, where are you at in terms of nerves?" Tracy asked.

"Well, I like nerves. I think nerves are good. I think you're only nervous when you want to do your best," Corden said. "I haven't gone to bed for like a month now where I have not been thinking about the Grammy Awards, because it means a lot to me to host it and I just don't want to let anybody down. I want the show to be a true celebration of everybody in that room."
