CBS Seals Deal With Byron Allen to Lease All of Late Night After Stephen Colbert Exits in May

As “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” ends its run next month, CBS has opted to turn its 11:35 p.m. ET post-local news timeslot into a time buy, selling the slot to Byron Allen — who will move back-to-back episodes of his “Comics Unleashed” series down an hour.

The time buy deal is through the 2026-2027 TV season; as part of the deal, Allen will also continue to lease the 12:37 a.m. hour with another strip from his company, the comedy game show “Funny You Should Ask.”
