Byron Allen says CBS has put no limits on his show replacing Stephen Colbert's | Newsmakers

Byron Allen, the media mogul and former stand-up comedian, is gearing up for his latest venture: bringing his show Comics Unleashed to the CBS time slot long held by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Allen sat down for an interview with NPR’s Newsmakers podcast ahead of his debut episode. He discussed his plans for Comics Unleashed in its new prime late night slot, why he thinks there’s still more than enough political comedy after the cancellation of Colbert, and why it’s important for Black Americans to own and produce media. ------------------------------------------------------ Follow NPR elsewhere, too: • Instagram:   / npr   • TikTok:   / npr   • Facebook:   / npr
