      HA! He came to my job last week and bragged about how well his show does pre-Colbert.

      How is comics unleashed MAGA coded? Isn’t it just comics doing their bits on a couch instead of standing up? Did Rogan claim all of standup for them?

      The show SUCKS but I don’t think it has a political ideology.

      I don’t recall where I read this, but it isn’t being produced by CBS.~~They are basically leasing the rights to air it. I hope CBS loses money on this.~~

      Edit: Updated. CBS could lose money if advertisers do not think that they are worth running ads on. They have already lost a lot of credibility on the news front; the only thing that they have that people are going to continue watching is live sports.

      >The series finale of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert drew more than 6.7 million viewers, according to reporting by The Daily Beast, which looked at Nielsen data. The show filling Colbert’s time slot on CBS, Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed,” drew only 995,000 viewers with its first episode, The Daily Beast reported. Allen is the billionaire owner of the Allen Media Group.

      The numbers don’t lie

      Was there ever even a question?

      Colbert – on a cable channel, no production, no band, bare bones…and he killed!

      Don’t get offended on Stephen’s behalf on this one. He video called Byron the day after his last show when he was guest hosting a public access show to ask if Byron would let the full time hosts on Comics Unleashed. I’ve never seen CU so I don’t know how typical that is or if he could have called Kimmel instead.

      Bryon Allen has as much personality as a Sloth. He needs to stick to what he knows business deals and suing people, that’s it. I have no desire to watch this show, heck I didn’t even read the article, I only had to see his name.

      “First episode” isn’t quite accurate. This is not a new show. It’s been going for a while and typically was aired after the Colbert Report at 12:35 am. Now it is also being aired in the 11:35 pm timeslot.

      I’ve never seen it, but I just keep imagining Mr. Burns showing up and saying ‘Unleash the comics!” and then the comics run amok in NYC, turning over fruit stands and leaping atop cabs as they howl and beat their chests.

      Lol it’s not maga coded. I’m happy CBS is losing revenue but this is just an article designed to make people feel good
