If you say so... I've heard of a handful of shows/projects he's worked on, but it sounds to me that after decades of grind, THIS is his big break aaand most people aren't happy about it. Not his fault obviously, but definitely a bad career decision if you ask me.

Also, we meet again prole 🤣

I didn't know anything about Byron Allen other than it was a nebulous name I instantly recognized probably from comedy shows 30 years ago.

But googling says he's a god damn BILLIONAIRE.

THIS is his big break

I don't think so... The guy is extremely wealthy, I think his big break happened decades ago. This is just him funding something he loves (comedy).

...byron allen's first late-night talk show didn't stick, but he's done alright for himself...
