Byron Allen reportedly paid tens of millions of dollars to air his show, Comics Unleashed, in The Late Show’s old timeslot on CBS. Is he getting his money’s worth?
When I heard what he was doing, I joked that only people who fell asleep during the 11 O’clock local news would be watching. And I wasn’t far off.
According to Late Nighter, only 995,000 watched the first hour on Friday, and 1/3 of them did not stick around for the second hour.
If that is how his first episode did against a repeat of Jimmy Kimmel Live, it is only going to get worse.
Therefore, this is another failure due to Meidas Trump, who turns everything he touches into shit.
Do I feel bad for Harris’ massive failure? Not at all. His takeovers have destroyed many people’s lives. He can buy timeslots, but he can’t buy people to watch him. Typical rich guy trying to buy friends, only to find out not everyone is for sale.
