CBS will hand Colbert’s late-night time slot to ‘Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen’ | CNN Business The network said Monday that beginning May 22, the day after the finale of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the hour will be filled by “Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen.”

www.cnn.com/2026/04/06/m...

"#CBS has a time-buy agreement with Allen Media Group for the 2026-27 season, meaning Allen pays to air his programs on the CBS network."

So it really isn't about the best programming but most money.

Meta Explained Its Smart Glasses AI Privacy Policies to Me. I'm Still Worried If Meta and other smart eyewear makers don't want their products known as "pervert glasses," they're going to have to do better at setting boundaries.

I was listening to the end of the #WBC game between #Italy and #Mexico last night on #FoxSportsRadio on #SiriusXM and it sounded like they were calling a TV game. I was lost the entire time. No talk of count or what was happening in game. Truly awful announcing.

I know no one had #Canada and #Italy advancing to the quarters in the #WBC. Especially both teams winning their pool. The #WBC has been exciting and a fun watch during a normal boring #baseball period.
