The popular show has actually been more successful on YouTube than on the television network.
Corden's 'Carpool Karaoke' with Adele garnered more than 250 million views. The romp with One Direction has 189 million views so far.
The show's YouTube page has more than 10 billion views with 27 million subscribers.
CBS top executives tried to add another three years contract and did all they could to retain him but he only agreed to one year contract.
According to the comedian, he still needs to accomplish other things post the exit like wiring and he thanked his crew for helping make the show successful.
