Byron Allen's 'Comics Unleashed' Sets First Guests For 11:35 CBS Run
LateNighter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- CBS has announced the guest lineup for Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen's debut week in the 11:35pm time slot formerly held by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, maintaining the show's traditional format focused on working comedians and casual banter rather than star-driven late-night style.
- The lineup features a variety of comedians across the week, with no major changes to the show's established style, signaling continuity instead of a reinvention for this marquee late-night hour.
- Comics Unleashed will continue its format of airing a new episode in the first half-hour followed by a repeat in the second half-hour, consistent with its previous 12:37am slot arrangement.
- The move to 11:35pm expands Byron Allen's time-buy deal with CBS, where Allen Media Group purchases airtime and sells advertising, while another AMG show, Funny You Should Ask, will take over the 12:37am slot vacated by Comics Unleashed.
