Thought you could only take Byron Allen in small doses? How about you. I bet you thought you could see that Kickin' It show on the weekend, grimace and then click finding succor in the Golden Girls or that Jenilee Harrison infomercial. No such luck. Byron Allen has again infiltrated late night TV. At least the premise is familiar. Since September, Allen has indeed offered his Entertainment Studios.com show to the weekly schedule. Sure it's corny, but it beats anything that creepy Jimmy Kimmel has to offer.With the increased workload and interviews, the question that dogs Allen has become magnified. How in the world does he talk to everybody. There probably hasn't been a celebrity or noteable person he's missed. On his Kickin' It with Byron Allen program some of the interviews aren't exactly revelatory, it's a celebrity BS, mundane questions and off to the next one like so much assembly line. EntertainmentStudios.com is more of the same with Byron padding the half-hour with overlong, almost plot revealing movie clips. He also offers snippets from stand-up comedians and he's joined the now crowd by showing (get ready) videos. Wow, can't see those anywhere. All and all it's not great, not horrible--Byron Allen, you can't not like him.
Update: I just found out that Byron owns and is the CEO of EntertainmentStudios.com. In layman's terms that means mad, mad dollars, aka, crazy bank. Meanwhile I'm saving pennies in a jar...

The caliber of interviewee that Byron Allen gets is really astounding. How such a non-descript entity can pull in A-List celebs. And he does it all with that poor man's Ahmad Rashad flair, putting the subject at ease and saying things like, "When did you realize you'd made it?!"
Hats off, my good man.
Thanks Bill. The level of folks Byron interviews is astounding. I think that fact is even more clear since he's on 6 days a week, for me that's 5 days too many LOL.
