Unleash the Jokers!


As Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen” is set to tape more than 130 episodes ahead of its late night debut on CBS.

As TheWrap previously reported, “Comics Unleashed” will be taking over the 12:30 a.m. time slot from “After Midnight.” Allen plans on filming 132 episodes of the comedy talk show, which is produced under Allen’s Entertainment Studios banner.


The series, which is heading into its 20th season, will officially air at 12:37 a.m. ET on Sept. 22 with back-to-back half-hour episodes. Episodes of the comedy talk show will then air Monday through Friday, with the series also available to stream live on Paramount+ for subscribers that have Paramount+ with Showtime.


Allen has had experience with this time slot before. Prior to “After Midnight,” CBS aired “Comics Unleashed” during the time slot as part of a limited run the network dubbed as successful.

‘Comics Unleashed’ is a true passion for me, simply because this world can never have enough laughter,” Allen said in a statement. “I created this show more than 20 years ago so that the best comedians can always have a home and do what they live to do – come together and make everyone laugh.”

“Comics Unleashed” is hosted by Allen and has featured over 550 comedians including Sebastian Maniscalco, Tiffany Haddish, Nate Bargatze, Gabriel Iglesias, Theo Von, Cedric the Entertainer, Howie Mandel, Leslie Jones, Wayne Brady, Roy Wood, Jr., Whitney Cummings, JB Smoove, Billy Gardell, Margaret Cho, Brad Garrett, Sheryl Underwood, Adam Carolla, Gina Yashere, Dane Cook, Sinbad, George Wallace, Caroline Rhea, Tommy Davidson, David Alan Grier, Kevin Hart, Chelsea Handler, Katt Williams, Dennis Miller, Loni Love, Jamie Kennedy, Iliza Shlesinger, Jon Lovitz, Bill Bellamy, Mike Epps, Monique, Tom Papa, Gary Owen, Natasha Leggero, Deon Cole, Lisa Ann Walter, Marc Maron, Anthony Anderson, Russell Peters and many more.

The series is produced by Allen Media Group and executive produced by Allen, Carolyn Folks, Jennifer Lucas and Jodi Miller. It has been airing in first-run strip syndication since its premiere in September 2006.



Legendary game show host Alex Trebek is on the minds of many Tuesday, what would have been his 85th birthday.

Trebek, who is best known for his time hosting Jeopardy!, passed away on Nov. 8, 2020 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. While Jeopardy! lives on with record-setting champion Ken Jennings as its host, Trebek's legacy still has an impact on the show's legions of fans.

On Tuesday, the official Jeopardy! X/Twitter account shared a tribute message to Trebek, who was the face of the program from 1984 until his death.

"Alex Trebek was the beloved host of our show for 37 seasons, and his light still shines brightly here at Jeopardy! He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten!" the tweet read.



And we got a segment that has some qualifications in a futile attempt to get in. They are:


Someone who can stream for more than one year of his or her own time, can be of some certain variety or within the realm outside of video games (i.e. Artwork, Music), viewership numbers on averages and the category most important: Play Jackbox games if necesssary.

But if you want a taste of what the Sunday Service is like head to this:



So lardteamaker, ready to hear the good news?



You are the Twitchhead of the month for August of 2025. You get an imaginary plaque to hang on the wall, bragging rights and what else, Amy Irons?


Amy: it's................sweet tea. Just like the south used to make. 


Me: Damn straight. We'll be back next month to see who else is up at teatime.

Colton Underwood is a television personality, producer, author and former professional football player. After a standout collegiate career at Illinois State, he played in the NFL with teams including the Chargers and Raiders. He became a household name after joining "The Bachelorette," "Bachelor in Paradise," and eventually as the franchise's memorable lead known widely as the "Virgin Bachelor."

He is also a New York Times bestselling author of "The First Time," where he candidly shared his experiences with identity, pressure and growth. Now focused on production, he is developing projects that push boundaries across unscripted and scripted formats - from heartfelt parenting podcasts to college athletics storytelling - always with a lens of authenticity, humor and cultural relevance.

Kaitlyn Bristowe is a multifaceted media personality and entrepreneur who first captured the public's attention as a standout contestant on "The Bachelor" before taking the spotlight as the star of "The Bachelorette." Known for her genuine personality, wit and candor, Bristowe's journey on reality TV not only won her the Mirrorball Trophy on "Dancing with the Stars" with her loyal fans, but it also launched a successful career in podcasting, where she hosts the popular show "Off the Vine." Beyond her media endeavors, Bristowe has ventured into the world of business with her own line of wine and a thriving social media presence, establishing herself as a prominent and influential figure in the entertainment industry.

In this groundbreaking new dating experiment, the largest, hottest group of virgins ever assembled search for intimacy, love - and maybe their first - in a tropical paradise designed just for them. For the first time, they're free to explore their connections without judgment, allowing these sexy young singles to embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find "the one." Who will find that special someone? And who will go home hot, bothered and heartbroken?
