Podcast appearances and mentions of Byron Allen

Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen has experienced a massive national ratings collapse since taking over CBS's late night. Viewership has dropped by up to 85% to 87% compared to the final episodes of its predecessor, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Despite the severe decline in viewers, CBS executives state the new programming is a financial win due to a unique leasing agreement. Former New Orleans City Councilman Jared Brossett was scheduled for a court appearance tied to his latest DWI allegation, reportedly his fourth. Do we know what happened in court and what should happen when a public official keeps facing the same kind of charge? At what point is this no longer just a personal problem but a public one?

Today is Juneteenth, and we're bringing you special programming all day long to honor the holiday and reflect on its meaning. Don sits down with media mogul, producer, comedian, and philanthropist Byron Allen for a powerful conversation about the legacy of slavery, the economic systems that have perpetuated inequality, and why Juneteenth remains as important as ever. They also discuss the power of media ownership and why it's essential for Black communities to tell their own stories rather than allowing others to define their image.

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Byron Allen's DISASTROUS start at CBS.  Viewership cratered 77%, from Colbert's 2.69 million average all the way down to 628,000. And the damage isn't staying in late night. People fall asleep with the TV on and wake up on the same channel. Colbert was feeding CBS local news. CBS local news was feeding CBS This Morning. Byron Allen just cut that pipeline. THEN: The Knicks just won their first championship since 1973, and Game 3 of the Finals pulled 23.79 million viewers, the biggest NBA audience since 2017. Last year's Thunder-Pacers Finals? Half those numbers. Same sport. Different cities. The gang debates whether this is proof the NBA is genuinely back, or proof of something more uncomfortable... that parity might actually be strangling the league's own ratings, and the best thing that could happen to the NBA is New York or LA in the Finals every single year.ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, a discussion about The Office and political correctness, Jay reviews Disclosure Day and much MUCH more!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

Johnny Mac covers Daily Comedy News, leading with a long Conan O'Brien clip joking that he's “suing Harvard” over various student grievances while riffing on the administration's claims about foreign students. He explains CBS' late-night deal with Byron Allen: Allen pays $15 million a year to lease the 11:30 slot and sell ads himself, meaning CBS profits even if ratings are low; the first night drew 878,000 viewers, and CBS cites a shift from losing about $40 million annually to $15 million profit.

Byron Allen began his career as a stand-up comedian and became the youngest comic ever to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson at just 18 years old. He later founded Allen Media Group (formerly Entertainment Studios), building it into a major media empire that owns dozens of television networks, local TV stations, and film distribution companies. Among his many accomplishments, Allen acquired The Weather Channel in a deal valued at approximately $300 million and has grown his company into one of the largest Black-owned media businesses in the United States.

Oil prices are currently declining. Mark questions why left-leaning media outlets highlight rising oil prices but rarely mention when prices fall. He discusses the case involving E. Jean Carroll and whether there is substantial evidence to support her claims about President Trump at a Bergdorf Goodman store in New York City spying on her. Mark notes that Carroll now faces lawsuits alleging perjury. Former President Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit against the US Justice Department to prevent the release of certain recordings. On CBS News Sunday Morning, Jill Biden recounted her concerns during the 2024 campaign, saying she thought Joe Biden was having a stroke. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore.  Steve discusses the impact of gasoline prices on inflation. He points out that, aside from gasoline, the US economy appears strong, citing a 4% GDP increase reported by the Federal Reserve. New data centers being built nationwide could advance early cancer detection and other technologies. Steve addresses concerns about artificial intelligence (AI), explaining both the opportunities and the need for caution. He also discusses the ongoing competition between China and the US over AI leadership. Spencer Pratt is highlighted as a potential leader who could drive positive change in Los Angeles by addressing taxes, politics, and oil transportation. A potential deal between Iran and the US is reportedly moving to President Trump's desk for approval. Donald Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal over alleged damage to his reputation. Bruce Springsteen launched into a lengthy critique of President Trump during a recent concert. In New Jersey, there are significant problems at ICE detention centers, drawing concern from Governor Mikie Sherrill. Protests have erupted over reportedly inadequate food at the facilities. DHS Secretary Mullin responded to the unrest by stating, “They can go back to their country.” Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jill Biden's remarks regarding Joe Biden's health during the 2024 campaign, specifically her fear that he suffered a stroke, are questionable. The guys also cover Governor Hochul's provocative comments about Trump, the Knicks, and overall challenge him on different topics. The debut of Byron Allen's new late-night show replacing Stephen Colbert is in effect, and Jimmy gives his opinion on it, including Mark's. In addition, Jimmy previews his upcoming show on FOX News Channel this Saturday night. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Johnny Mac recaps comedy news, led by Stephen Colbert returning to TV the night after The Late Show ended by guest-hosting the Monroe, Michigan public-access show Only in Monroe, featuring guests/cameos including Jack White, Byron Allen, Eminem, Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Daniels, plus local food bits; Colbert previously hosted in 2015. Paramount/CBS issued copyright takedown notices after uploads appeared online, then told Variety it was standard practice against unauthorized posts and waived further enforcement. The Late Show finale drew 6.74M viewers vs Letterman's 13.76M final and Colbert's 2015 premiere 6.55M; Mac says the finale and Colbert's run had little impact on him. The Times of London argues Tim Dillon represents an internet-era successor to late-night, citing younger audiences and cost/format challenges, plus comments about YouTube economics and an upcoming Ben Gleib YouTube show.

Anyone else out here binging on "Below Deck?" Why can't Louisiana seem to make teachers a priority? How are we liking "Comics Unleashed" so far? Byron Allen's success largely due to his ability to purchase it; Are these the best conservative rock songs of all time?

Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we dive into the growing debate surrounding the future of late-night television and political comedy. Media mogul Byron Allen is making headlines after signaling a “no politics” approach to comedy programming — but is that a smart business move in today's divided America, or a sign that networks are afraid to take risks?We break down the changing landscape of late-night TV following the end of Stephen Colbert's era at CBS, the rise of audience fatigue over political humor, and whether viewers are looking for entertainment that escapes politics altogether. Plus, we discuss how streaming, podcasts, and social media are reshaping comedy and television faster than ever before.Is Byron Allen reading the room correctly… or running from controversy? Tune in for a fun, informative, and opinionated conversation you don't want to miss!

RUNDOWN   Broadcasting from London while trying—and failing—to escape Mariners frustration, Mitch and Hotshot Scott bounce between Seattle baseball misery, European travel mishaps, London culture shock, soccer ticket disasters, and Mitch's realization that even crossing the street becomes dangerous when everything operates backward. They also hit Churchill history, Wembley dreams gone sideways, tourist adventures, and the strange reality that no amount of distance from Seattle seems capable of keeping Mariners disappointment from finding Mitch overseas. With Mitch away, Brady and Joe take an unfiltered look at a Mariners team that suddenly feels flat, frustrating, and increasingly difficult for fans to embrace. They dig into defensive problems, strikeouts, inconsistent offense, lineup decisions, clubhouse energy, and whether Seattle's identity has become too predictable and too dependent on home runs. Mitch and Puck wrestle with one of the biggest frustrations surrounding the Mariners right now: when questionable decisions happen during games, who actually owns them? The conversation centers on Dan Wilson, Jerry Dipoto, analytics influence, bullpen management, lineup choices, and whether modern baseball has created too many voices in the room. They also hit on Bryce Miller's interrupted no-hit bid, the controversial piggyback pitching approach, and the growing feeling that Seattle's biggest problem might not be talent. Mitch and Danny dive into growing frustration around the Mariners' decision-making, debating whether Dan Wilson is truly managing instinctively or operating under organizational marching orders from above.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Does political comedy make you more or less likely to watch late night television? Stephen Colbert signs off after more than a decade hosting The Late Show, triggering debate over whether political comedy helped sustain late night television or accelerated its decline. Michael examines CBS's explanation that the show was losing tens of millions annually, the political backlash surrounding Colbert's exit, and the larger question of whether audiences still want partisan humor as part of their nightly routine. He also shares highlights from his interview with media mogul Byron Allen, who is taking over the time slot with a comedy-first approach deliberately free of politics. Can late night succeed again by simply trying to make people laugh? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) Iran said the latest US proposal partly bridged the gap between the warring sides, but comments from the Islamic Republic's supreme leader clouded the outlook for a breakthrough. The US has demanded Tehran hand over its enriched uranium and commit to ending enrichment, while Iranian leaders have balked at those terms in public. The conflicting statements on key issues left it unclear if the two sides were any closer to a deal after renewed threats of escalation in recent days. 2) NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed President Donald Trump's announcement to send additional troops to Poland. The announcement increased a sense of confusion within the alliance, with officials saying they would prefer US moves to be coordinated. The US is expected to announce adjustments to national forces set to be made available in case of crisis or war, which may include cuts to troops in NATO's force model. 3) Stephen Colbert hosted the last episode of his namesake show on CBS, mostly steering clear of political jokes and criticism of President Trump. The show featured a parade of actors and comedians, including Bryan Cranston and Paul McCartney, who closed the program with a performance of the Beatles hit Hello, Goodbye. Colbert's show is being replaced by Comics Unleashed, a program hosted by Byron Allen, who said the show steers clear of politics and intends to make money selling ads.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
