Corden rose to fame on the show as Neil “Smithy” Smith who became romantically involved with Jones’s Vanessa “Nessa” Jenkins.
It ran for three series with a further three Christmas specials between 2007 to 2024.
The final episode, which aired on Christmas Day 2024, saw Smithy marry Nessa and posted overnight ratings of 12.3 million.
Its overall success was down to factors including luck and timing, Corden said.
“Shows can be brilliant and not necessarily find that audience, particularly comedy,” he added.
“Success is about timing, it’s about mood, culture. There is such an element of luck in it.”
