There's little hope an NBA owner's announcement he'll sell his share in the Atlanta Hawks will lead the team to Seattle.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Mens-Watches-Luggage-Set-Bow-Tie.html>Gucci Belts Online</a>  The CBS Television Network announced today that James Corden will be the new host of THE LATE LATE SHOW. Corden a multi-faceted performer, host, writer and producer with accomplishments that span television, theater, film and comedy will take the reins of the daily late night show in 2015.
−
Insiders say there is more reason for optimism about the league's return to Seattle thanks to a new report out Monday.
+
The 36-year-old Corden comes to American late night television with a growing list of award-winning and critically acclaimed credits. He is a Tony Award-winning performer on Broadway, a BAFTA-winning star of a UK television series, a feature film actor with two releases this year, and an acclaimed host, writer and producer in several genres of television.  
−
Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson said Sunday he would sell his controlling interest in the team after revealing he wrote a racially insensitive email to fellow owners and the team's General Manager, saying the team's fan base was too black.
+
Currently, Corden is starring opposite Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo in "Begin Again," which is in theaters now, and will star opposite Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Emily Blunt in the highly anticipated feature film "Into the Woods," which hits theaters in December. Additionally, Corden hosts the BAFTA Award-winning UK sports-themed comedy game show "A League of Their Own" on Sky 1 and stars in, produces and writes the BAFTA nominated comedy thriller "The Wrong Mans," which is available on Hulu and airs on the BBC.
−
"My theory is that the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base," he wrote in the lengthy email. He complained the "kiss cam was too black," and the team needed more "white cheerleaders."  
+
"James Corden is a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent," said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. "He is the ultimate multi-hyphenate a writer, creator and performer who is loved and respected in every medium he touches, including theater, comedy, music, film and television. James is already a big star in the UK and he's wowed American audiences on Broadway; we're very excited to introduce his considerable and very unique talents to our network television audience on a daily basis."
−
The news set social media ablaze in Seattle, with many wondering if investor Chris <a href=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php> true religion sale</a>  Hansen could swoop in and make good on his effort to bring the NBA back to the Emerald City.
+
"I can't describe how thrilled and honoured I am to be taking over from the brilliant Craig Ferguson," said Corden. "To be asked to host such a prestigious show on America's #1 network is hugely exciting. I can't wait to get started, and will do my very best to make a show America will enjoy."
−
KING 5 reporter Chris Daniels, who has closely followed Hansen's attempts, told the league has little reason to allow the Hawks to leave Atlanta.
+
  Outside of his native England, James Corden attracted international attention as the lead in the hit comedic play "One Man, Two Guvnors," performing first in the National Theatre and the West End in London and then on Broadway, which earned him the 2012 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. His additional theater credits include the worldwide tour of "The History Boys" in the role of Timms, which he also played in the feature film adaptation.
−
"The odds are slim that the NBA would be interested in moving out of the Atlanta market, especially when they're about to sign, it sounds like, a new television deal."
+
On television, Corden starred as Smithy in the critically acclaimed BBC comedy series "Gavin and Stacey," which he co-created and co-wrote. For his role, he earned the BAFTA Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance in 2008 and the British Comedy Award for Best Male Comedy Performer in 2007. The series received the British Comedy Award for Best TV Comedy in 2008 as well as the National Television Award for Most Popular Comedy Programme in 2010. Prior to that, Corden starred in the British television series "Fat Friends" from 2000 to 2005, which earned him a nomination for the 2000 Royal Television Society Award for Network Newcomer On Screen. He also had a recurring role in the popular BBC science fiction series "Doctor Who" as Craig Owens, the Doctor's roommate. In addition, Corden hosted the Brit Awards, the biggest event in the British music industry, from 2010 to 2014.
−
At the same time, that TV deal could be the key to bringing the NBA back sooner rather than later, said Daniels.
+
  Over the course of his career, Corden has been awarded the Royal Television Society Award for Comedy Writer <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Wedding-Shoes-Mens-Sunglasses-Luggage-Sets.html>Gucci Luggage Sets</a>  of the Year for his work on "The Wrong Mans," the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award for Comedy Writer of the Year, the South Bank Show Award for Comedy, the Tric Award for Best Comedy and the National Television Award in 2010 for Best Comedy.
−
The Sports Business Journal the NBA and its <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Louboutin Shoes Outilet</a>  network partners expect to reach a deal on a new long-term TV and digital media contract with ESPN and Turner Broadcasting by the start of the season.
+
Corden's additional film credits include "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People," with Jeff Bridges; "Gulliver's Travels," with Jack Black; and "The Three Musketeers," with Orlando Bloom.
−
When the NBA rejected Hansen's bid to buy the Sacramento Kings in 2013 and move them to Seattle, focus shifted to acquiring a potential expansion team. But that was predicated on a new media deal that now seems to be coming to fruition.
+
THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN will be produced by CBS. The creative elements, as well as the producers and the location for the Corden-hosted LATE LATE SHOW, will be determined and announced at a later date.  
−
"A lot of people connected with it (bringing the NBA back to Seattle) have been waiting for that deal to get finalized because it will lay out just how much money exists in that deal and what kind of share a Seattle expansion franchise would mean," Daniels says.
+
Corden succeeds Craig Ferguson, the critically acclaimed host of the CBS late night series for the past 10 years. Ferguson announced his intention to leave the show during his April 28 broadcast, and will sign off in December 2014.  
−
Last year, some owners, including the Maverick's Mark Cuban, said they didn't think the math penciled out for the league to add any more teams. Daniels said the landscape has changed dramatically with the record prices paid for Sacramento and Steve Ballmer's $2 billion purchase of the Clippers.
+
THE LATE LATE SHOW is broadcast weeknights on the CBS Television Network from 12:37 AM-1:37 AM, ET/PT.
−
"We have seen the franchise valuations and the TV and digital rights valuations on local and national levels just skyrocket since then," Daniels said.

"That was a five-hour infomercial for Seattle," he said of the national broadcast on a Chamber of Commerce day seen by nearly 27 million people. "The NBA and NHL sees that and sees the interest and the support in the fan base for professional sports in this town."

−
Daniels said the NHL wants to be in Seattle even more than the NBA at this point, but doesn't want to commit to the city while an arena deal remains unresolved.

A memorandum of understanding between Hansen, Seattle and King County calls for completion of an environmental review and acquisition of an NBA team before construction can begin.

Daniels said the Seattle Department of Planning and Development told him Monday the environmental review is moving slower than originally anticipated, and likely won't be completed until at least January. He said there doesn't seem to be much political interest in altering the deal to accommodate the NHL first at this point.
