James Corden reveals what he would do if Kanye West rushed the stage at the Grammys and interrupt somebody’s speech.
The British comedian is set to host the 59th Grammy Awards, which takes place at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on February 12. It will be his first time hosting the Grammys, but follows a string of years presenting the Brit Awards in the UK.
Speaking to Billboard, Corden said he wouldn't be focusing on trying to make the event funny. “The Grammys are not really a place for comedy,” he said. “And I’m only in the show for 17 minutes or so, across the four hours. My intention is to make it fun before it’s funny.”

At the 2015 Grammys, Kanye West pretended to interrupt Beck‘s speech when he received Album Of The Year award over Beyoncé, echoing the infamous time the rapper rushed the stage at the MTV VMAs in 2009 when Taylor Swift beat the singer to the Best Female Video award. He walked up to the microphone, but walked away and off stage at the last minute.
Asked what he would do were West to invade the stage again, Corden said: “I don’t know that he would interrupt someone’s speech again. [If he does] I’ll take him down. He will hit the floor quicker than he has ever known.”
