Just a few years ago, no one even knew who James Corden was. But in two years the Late Late Show host is completely taking over T.V. Now he’s going to have three shows on T.V. not even counting the Late Late Show!

TBS announced that they have picked up Drop the Mic, his popular celebrity rap battle segment, it will debut in 2017. Corden won’t host the show, but will serve as an executive producer.

If you haven’t seen the segment before, it features Corden rapping insults with a celebrity, like an old-school rap battle. It’s featured the likes of Kevin Hart, Anne Hathaway, Rebel Wilson and David Schwimmer and they have received millions of views on YouTube.

Drop the Mic is Corden’s second show after he sold Carpool Karaoke to Apple Music following a bidding war. In other words Corden got paaaaaiiiiid!!!!

Each Drop the Mic episode will feature celebrities verbally battling each other with the audience choosing the winner. Michael Bloom, TBS’s senior vice-president for unscripted programming said, “This series embodies the kind of unique and surprising programming we are looking for as we reinvent our approach to this genre within the new TBS brand.”

Can’t wait until this hits the air!
