      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.

      >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.
