Anyone expecting Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen<\/a> to get a splashy 11:35 makeover will want to temper those expectations, stat.<\/p>\n CBS has released the guest lineup for Allen\u2019s first week in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a>\u2019s former time slot, and it looks very much like Comics Unleashed as viewers have come to know it over the last two decades: working comics, evergreen banter, and no obvious bid to replicate the star-driven late-night model it is replacing.<\/p>\n That is notable mostly because of the time slot. The 11:35 hour has long been network late night\u2019s marquee stage\u2014a place for A-list guests, big swings, and heavily promoted first nights. Allen\u2019s debut week, by contrast, appears designed to signal continuity rather than reinvention.<\/p>\n Friday night\u2019s time slot premiere will feature comics Hannah Dickinson, Mark Smalls, Lance Woods, and Joe Sib.<\/p>\n The lineup for next week includes:<\/p>\n Monday, May 25 Tuesday, May 26 Wednesday, May 27 Thursday, May 28 Friday, May 29 As it has since moving into CBS\u2019s 12:37am slot last year, Comics Unleashed will air a new episode in its first half-hour, followed by a repeat during the second half of the hour.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s move to 11:35pm expands Allen\u2019s time-buy arrangement<\/a> with CBS, under which Allen Media Group pays the network for the airtime and sells the advertising itself. With Comics Unleashed moving up to 11:35, another AMG show, Funny You Should Ask<\/a> will slide into the CU\u2018s former 12:37am timeslot.<\/p>\n Visit our\u00a0lineups area<\/a>\u00a0for updated guest listings for all the late-night shows, and\u00a0subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to get stories like this in your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Allen Media Group Anyone expecting Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen to get a splashy 11:35 makeover will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661348,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[49565,120217,88],"class_list":["post-661347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-byron-allen","tag-comics-unleashed","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
