Colbert Reacts to Byron Allen Taking Over CBS Late Night [Eczs9t6Glqj]
Stephen Colbert reacted with polite detachment and dry humor to the news that Byron Allen will take over CBS’s 11:35 p.m. slot after The Late Show. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Colbert said “God bless him,” praised Allen’s long career, and joked that Allen should send a thank-you note to Johnny Carson, who gave Allen one of his earliest big breaks. The move marks a major shift for CBS, which is replacing traditional late-night programming with Allen’s lower-cost, advertiser-supported shows Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask as the network tries to cut losses reportedly tied to The Late Show. #StephenColbert #ByronAllen #LateNightTV #CBS #ComicsUnleashed #TheLateShow #TVNews #LateNight #Hollywood
