Corden announced in April 2022 that he was leaving the CBS show, with the final episode scheduled to air in mid-2023.
“Look, it’s in no way easy to leave something that’s so… I mean, I’ll never work in a better environment than the one I work in now,” Corden began.
“None of leaving the show had to do with not enjoying it. I love it but the truth is it became a very easy decision because I always knew it was an adventure and I never saw it as the ultimate goal,” he added.

“I was shooting on a Sunday and I came down the stairs, it was about six in the morning and my son, who was ten at the time, was sitting on the stairs and he said, ‘Are you working today?’ and I said, “That’s me,” Corden explained.
“He said, ‘I thought it was Sunday,’ and I said, ‘I know, mate, but this schedule is just everywhere.
“We just have to get it done because we only have a short amount of time before we have to go back and do the show,” Corden said.

“I got in the car and called my wife Jules and said, ‘I’ve realized that at best, we’ve got six more summers of Max being like this, wanting to be remotely close to us and I don’t want another can waste.” Corden explained.
“Well, actually the choice to go was, ‘Well, if I really want to do this other work, it can’t come at the expense of our kids, our family,’ and that’s really all that matters,” Corden added.
