Why James Corden is Leaving "The Late Late Show" | The Drew Barrymore Show

*I was in the studio audience for this episode and seeing/hearing James so serious was a change of pace from his normal lighthearted and bouncing energy that he portrays on his show. He had me laughing, crying, and thinking. The two spoke for a long time - maybe 30 minutes - and the studio was silent. I got to see a different side of him and it was really refreshing. It seems like he's doing what's right for his family.*

I love how Drew always holds space for her guests to just show their emotions. It's such a beautiful trait. 💓

[josieleugner]

Love this. I wish more parents would realize how important it is to spend time with their kids before they lose interest.

To see a talkshowhost not interrupting or talking over a guest is just wonderful
No stress just respectfully listening is magic these days
Love James ❤

I love how humane Drew is. The show has this vibe, makes people open up and be as real as they can be with themselves, that's fully on Drew's essence. It's beautiful.

I’m teary eyed. Maaaad respect for James Corden as a father. 🎉I was revising my childhood recently and I see the power of a parent being as present as they can be for a child growing. Bravo to this man!

Drew looked so beautiful and full of admiration as she sat there and listened to him. She is literally glowing with pride and love.

It’s sooo great to hear from James directly why he was choosing to leave his late night show. That story about his 10 year old son, 100% get it. Parents’ presence and quality time with children along with their approval is what children base their inner value off of.

[GugaGDL]

The way Drew looks and listens… What a beautiful human being she is and what a lovely host she has become.

This is the second time today I've cried with/about James Corden. As a parent, I was not prepared for the emotional wallop of the realities of children getting older. Thank you for this conversation.

I love Drew Barrymore. She's been through much and she's still so full of life and beautiful.

Drew is such a good interviewer, emphatic and knows when to say nothing and let her guest speak. I never watched this show on television only clips of it. But I got so emotional watching this it was so good. If i see it on the tele I'm definitely gonna watch it.

I've never had a similar conversation with either of my parents, not even remotely close. Once I remember my dad and my mom saying they did the best they could when made a medical decision which would traumatise me for my whole life, losing trust in the world in general, scarring me with life long anxiety and feelings of insecurity- that was all they did when I challenged them about that decision, which got me into.a horrible institution in my early childhood. Never told me they loved me. I had to figure it out for myself against all odds. I'm blown away by James's wisdom and good parenting. I just wish every parent was educated before having a child.

[tammysharp]

That was an amazing chat James had with his son and so true!! My dad and I went through that challenging chapter of my life and now as a 52 year old woman I pray every parent takes that chat to their child🙏❤️

[dessalexis]

I feel like Drew’s show is a form of therapy for them. She has been in their shoes and knows how to talk without over prying. She makes people feel comfortable. She is a genuine soul ❤

i love how attentive Drew is when she’s listening to her guests

[jessefoulk]

You know....this was something deep and mentoring to hear. He's absolutely right in every way. Every father and mother knows that moment when it comes.

[jahangirhussain]

it breaks my heart to see James Corden quitting the late late show but it's amazing that he chose to quit the show to spend more time with his son and family. amazing parenting goals.

[jeepguy]

I completely feel the same way. Cherish the time w your kids while you can. I did the same thing. My family and kids needed me more than my job and the company I worked for did.

[armblinktan]

We're all crying! You're the best James Corden! This is the sweetest about you so far! Gonna miss miss you a lot!
