Comics Unleashed

Plot

Comics Unleashed is a half-hour comedic talk show produced by the Entertainment Studios production company and hosted by Byron Allen, with John Cramer as announcer and DJ Cobra providing music support. The show features a panel of four guest comedians performing their standup bits thinly disguised as a sit-down chat show, sometimes preceded by a brief monologue or joke from Allen. Certain episodes were branded as Comics Unleashed: Hot Chocolate, as the featured comedians on those episodes were all of African descent.

About Comics Unleashed

Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen is an American half-hour late-night television comedy, produced by Allen Media Group (formerly Entertainment Studios, Inc.), and hosted by Byron Allen. The show's announcer is John Cramer, with DJ Cobra or DJ A-One providing music support. The panel show originally ran from 2006 to 2016 in syndication, in addition to CBS from mid-September 2023 until mid-January 2024 to fill the former time slot of The Late Late Show with James Corden, before its permanent replacement After Midnight could begin. It returned to the same time slot on CBS, during late-night September 22, 2025 (early morning September 23), due to After Midnight being cancelled. Beginning May 22, 2026, Comics Unleashed moved to the 11:35 p.m. time slot vacated by the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. CBS sold the time slot to Byron Allen's AMG for $15 million via a time buy agreement. The 12:37 AM slot was taken by another Allen Media property, the game show Funny You Should Ask, hosted by Jon Kelley.
