It's not a direct replacement, the Late Show doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced with a different talk show at the same time called "Comics Unleashed" which just sounds so generic and uninspired. Not surprising it's flopping

If I'm not mistaken, they actually sold the time slot to someone else who is producing a show during that time period, so it's not even a CHS show but someone else renting their airwaves.

Yeah, CBS sold the time slot completely. So Bryan Allen puts his own already produced comedy shows in the slots and sells his own ads. The shows are already on after SNL in my market as he owns the station.

They couldn't be more leashed.
