"“What I'm doing with Comics Unleashed, we don't talk about politics. We don't talk about anything that's topical, Allen answered. We don't do anything that's racist or sexist or anti-Semitic or homophobic. Just be funny and don't offend.”"
"“Comics Unleashed is set to debut in Colbert's time slot on Friday, May 22 one night after Colbert's 11-year run as the host of the Late Show ends. Comics Unleashed has been syndicated since launching in 2006, and CBS will be leasing the airtime used by Colbert to Allen's media company.”"
"“Allen told CNN that he wants to follow the same model as All in the Family producer Norman Lear, who used comedy to bring us together. Again, that's a different approach than the one Colbert has taken with his show.”"
"“Colbert has made it clear he is not a fan of Trump's Make America Great Again movement and has used his show to skewer the president for years. He said Trump's mouth was only good for being Vladimir Putin's c*ckholster back in 2017, and has more recently ripped the president's crackdown on illegal immigration and his feud with Pope Leo XIV.”"
Byron Allen said his upcoming late-night program will not address politics or topical issues. He stated the show will avoid racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic content, aiming instead to be funny without offending viewers. Comics Unleashed is scheduled to debut in Stephen Colbert’s time slot on May 22, one night after Colbert’s 11-year run ends. CBS will lease the airtime used by Colbert to Allen’s media company. Allen described his goal as following a model associated with Norman Lear, using comedy to bring people together. This approach contrasts with Colbert’s long-running criticism of Donald Trump and related controversies.
