Byron Allen ran a series that aired after one of the network late night shows ran. Late-night television was pretty desolate on cable after midnight, I’m tellin’ ya. Allen’s show featured an endless parade of stand-up comedians - an eclectic mix, in retrospect. It was cold and detached, no time to form a solid opinion on a performer. Some were good, some may have gone on to greater fame for all I know. Some were hacks by just about anybody’s standards, and some were so bad that it sent me clicking ‘round the dial in search of something - anything - better than that. Byron Allen no longer has a captive audience due to limited choices.
