First Jimmy shook things up with The Roots, then Seth pulled a fast one with Fred Armisen, but the latest bandleader addition to the late-night talk show family is a real trump card: Reggie Watts has joined the Late Late Show as the new bandleader for the soon-to-be-revamped program.
Watts, a comedian, musician and weirdo extraordinaire, will join brand new host James Corden on the show, which is seeing longtime host Craig Ferguson depart.
