CBS has swapped out Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' with Byron Allen's 'Comics Unleashed' following Colbert's departure. The new programme has struggled to match its predecessor's viewership numbers.
The late-night shake-up has yielded mixed results for rivals. Jimmy Kimmel's absence from his ABC show has appximately lifted 'Tonight Show' ratings. Donald Trump slammed Colbert after the 'Late Show' finale aired. Former host David Letterman remarked that CBS chose Allen's show because they don't want to spend any money.
