In a historic late night shakeup, CBS is replacing Stephen Colbert’s "Late Show" with Byron Allen’s "Comics Unleashed."
CBS announced in July that it had canceled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and that it would officially go off the air in May 2026 after a more than 10-year run. Liberal critics have accused CBS and Paramount of ending the show to appease President Donald Trump and receive approval for a long-planned merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.
What followed was a drawn-out drama between Colbert and his network that will finally come to an end this spring. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The network will air Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen at 11:35 p.m. beginning May 22, followed by another Allen-produced series, the comedy game show Funny You Should Ask, at 12:35 a.m. The Late Show will sign off on May 21."

Ew! I think you meant:
that fart discussion last night stunk.
Byron Allen: Laugh or I will sue
Why even comment when you don’t even know what I’m talking about? Just shows how many people are still in the dark.
His ratings are up this season and have always been better than Kimmel. There’s a little more to it than what we’ve been told.
Allen’s show sucks. So scripted. Not even close to funny.
Panelists are mostly has beens.
And Gutfeld no longer goes head to head with him.
