It's April 7th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment, CBS just shook up late night TV. After Stephen Colbert's late show, Raps on May 21st, two shows from producer Byron Allen slide right into those prime slots, starting May 22nd. They roll out back-to-back half-hour episodes of Comics and Least at 11.35 PM, followed by Funny You Should Ask at 12.37 AM. After comedy blocks to keep folks laughing into the night, Allen, who kicked off Comics on Least 20 years back, has been hustling for this spot since last summer. The Detroit-born comedian hit Johnny Carson's Tonight Show as a teen in 1979 and built an empire-producing hits like courtroom dramas, and The Weather Channel. He's buying the airtime from CBS, handling his own ads through Alan Media Group, with a deal locked through the 20-26-20, 27 season. Alan pushes Evergreen, family-friendly jokes, no politics, just straight laughs like classic

I Love Lucy Vibes. Late nights getting a fresh comedy pulse from a vet who's all about the funny, proving there's always room for more humor and tough times.
