Comics Unleashed

Imagine the most hacky way of showcasing talented comedians, then multiply it by 100.

I find it unbelievable that Byron Allen was at one point a stand-up comedian. He definitely is someone who couldn't be naturally funny, so his idea was the way you showcase stand up comedians is by trying to set up their jokes. It is possible that when he did stand up on Carson he was asked what should be brought up and he told him what topics he had jokes for. I can't be sure whether or not that was actually what Carson was asking him for, but it was how he interpreted it then and then continued to operate as if that was what the job of a show interviewing comedians should be like.

He is a very successful man, though. Gotta give him props for making the worst tv shows and getting paid for them.
