Comedian/musician Reggie Watts has signed on as bandleader for the Late Late Show with James Corden. The former Soulive singer/Maktub frontman, who is now known for his comedic work on shows like Comedy Bang! Bang!, will take up the role when the forthcoming CBS program debuts on March 23.

Despite his recent television success, Watts continues to divide his time between comedy and music. Of note, he sat in with LCD Soundsystem during their final performance in 2011.
