As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert comes to an end, CBS has cemented its late-night schedule.
The network is doubling down on the time buy model with Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen moving up to 11:35 p.m.
The move is not a surprise as CBS made clear it was getting out of the late-night space once the storied Late Show franchise ends in May.
Comics Unleashed has been airing in the 12:35 a.m. slot following the end of After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson. It will now move to 11:35 p.m. for the 2026-2027 season as part of an expanded time buy agreement. It will premiere its first episode in that slot Friday, May 22, the day after Colbert will say goodbye after 11 years, and run two back-to-back half-hour episodes each night.
