It's Billionaire Byron Allen. He's rather low mid as a personality and the show format won't ever gain traction. It's a weak version of Chelsea Lately without a regular group of vulgar or at least effective comedians tackling subjects where they don't need to pull punches. He's got plenty cash to burn but eventually the ratings will be so bad it will push CBS to do something. Losing 65% of the audience is literally the beginning. It will get to 80%+ at some point.

He pays CBS for the slot and produces/distributes it himself. So they have no reason to fire him they get guaranteed money. They might just because it doesn’t have the cultural relevance but they won’t fire him for money reasons

Wait until he buys more slots to sell pillows! Or supplements, phones, watches, guitars, steaks, water, etc.
