*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.*

[@tiadavenport5465]

He's an actor. Try seeing him with his family and in real life mode. Rude.

[@lindashaskas5080]

When is James leaving. What month and what day.😎🥳

[@JustCallMeBo1]

@@tiadavenport5465 Update: people have been saying your comment was saying James was rude and not myself. If that was what you intended I truly apologize! Not sure what your intent was but didn't want it to seem like I was coming at you for no reason. To me it read like I was being called rude for stating my opinion I said absolutely NOTHING rude. I said that it was refreshing to get to see another side of him. Perhaps you're the one who could use a lesson in what is rude. To comment negativity on something meant to inform is unnecessary.

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.

[@nhalize]

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.

[@tammysharp2155]

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🙏❤️

[@LXS1303]

hahaha! His servers cried too when he treated them like sh. You're welcome.

[@maggiep265]

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.

[@athlene110]

I hear you. What your parents did to you is awful and there's no excuse for their behaviour. It can be so hard to see good parenting when that never happened to you. I hope you have surrounded yourself with people who get that. Take care.

[@dessalexis887]

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 ❤

[@jeepguy77]

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.

[@bizness-as-usual-58]

It's right that men grind everyday at their work to take care of their families. But it's just as important for fathers to put in that quality time with their families, too, otherwise, they later on regret the loss that comes with not spending time in nurturing those family moments and traditions that they and their kids will reminisce about years later. Fortunately, James had his epiphany early enough for him to build and solidify those memories for him and his family before his kids become teens and start looking for other meaningful relationships outside of the home. Good for him.

[@somerandomyoutubechannel5816]

I didn't realize his kids were a big motivation in him leaving the show. He's doing much more important work now. I love his show, and was sad it ended. You're just never going to get that kind of a dynamic in a late night group again, I believe. But, wow, am I just impressed at his choice. Also, want to echo how great of an interviewer Drew is.

actually its not for the family, celebrities use this often as an excuse to hide the real reasons. He was on the top of the game and messed up by being very rude to staff and people. This caused a big public backlash and a bad media image, which forced him to quit (and he actually admitted it later).
