CBS Seals Deal With Byron Allen to Lease All of Late Night After Stephen Colbert Exits in May

Hungary was the target for Republicans

Can we just call it "state media" already?

Didn’t know Byron Allen is considered conservative.

>f****** point is that conservatives have yet ANOTHER piece of the media for propaganda. How? It's going to be just low cost stand up.

Don’t forget airports. Airports are a lot of eyeballs for espn

I can't find anyone talking about what he actually said, but I looked him up and he is billed as "Trump's favorite preacher," so I imagine his record is bigoted in some very unsurprising ways.

I'm not watching that garbage, but I know he recently not necessarily on 60 minutes argued against Pope Leo's message of peace. Argued in favor of the concept of "just war". He defended the administration's war prayers for death and told Trump his soul is secure. He accused Iran of wanting to use nuclear weapons when the only people floating those ideas recently are in this administration and an Israeli "news" show that included Ben-Gvir.

I know this was a result of auto correct but Malaria Trump is just *chefs kiss*

That’s the “excuse” they used but it was never true

I remember he had some entertainment show that would air random hours, like those syndicated shows that never make it on top ratings. I thought he was some D-list comedian actor. I got rid of cable in the 2000s, so he was out of mind out of sight for me for many many years.  Then some years ago, I heard the news of him buying the Weather Channel. I’m like, this dude was a business billionaire mogul. WTF?

Corniness is not a big impediment to becoming tremendously wealthy.

Anyone can be successful if all they have to do is join in on the right wing billionaire class grift by selling their soul.

Yeah fr. Super wealthy

Yeah, like they wanted him to be another Arsenio. It was painful to watch.

I won’t dispute his ability to make money. But I hesitate to call grifters genius. Producing low quality content directed towards people who are easily manipulated is not genius. It’s a fairly common business model, most people would simply rather not be associated with it

that is the show that he is paying cbs to put on was already doing to do it at 12:35

He’s also behind what has to be the worst TV game show, “Funny You Should Ask,” which is basically “‘Hollywood Squares’ without the complicated tic-tac-toe stuff,” with D-list celebrity panels (plus Byron, you wouldn’t want to have to pay for another celebrity) and a contestant pool that definitely wasn’t chosen for their smarts.

The late great Norm McDonald.

"Tune into LBS."

"There's a new 24-hour channel called The Golf Channel. It shows golf 24 hours a day, except between 2 AM and 3 AM, when it shows 'The Byron Allen Show.'"

Yes! Thank you!

That's the Byron Allen trademark. He's known for the quantity of his productions, not the quality of them.

They couldn’t be more leashed

It's 28 minutes of advertising interspersed with 2 minutes of "jokes."

“U/motionbutton, I heard you like Ferris wheels? Do you have a bit or any jokes about Ferris wheels?”

Following "Comics Unleashed", stay tuned for the equally unfunny "Funny You Should Ask". Allen is involved with that c*** game show, too.

Reboot Silk Stalkings!

Old enough to remember him. Young enough to be surprised he’s still alive.

That's good

It might have gone away years ago without Trump

Real People remember Byron.
