Rain delays kill me with night races, I was already half asleep by the time the NASCAR race started last night and fell asleep fully not long into it. I almost always am asleep by ten PM since I decided to go back to high school, so I often will have to use YouTube later in the week to revisit those
Really pumped though to see SVG doing such a great job on an oval, he's really adapted to that foreign style of driving well in just a few years of doing it, his 12th in points is so impressive, especially considering neither of his teammates are in the top 25 right now so the team isn't doing great other than him.

CBS recently replaced Stephen Colbert's long-running 'The Late Show' with Byron Allen's 'Comics Unleashed,' a move the network claims was financially strategic. CBS stated that switching to a 'time buy' model transformed a loss of roughly $40 million annually into a $15 million profit, representing a $55 million financial swing. Critics, including fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, challenged this justification, calling the claimed losses for Colbert's show 'nonsensical.' The debut episode of 'Comics Unleashed' drew only 995,000 viewers, trailing behind reruns of shows by Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, which each attracted over 1.5 million viewers. Additionally, Colbert's continued online presence remains strong; a recent appearance on 'Only in Monroe' garnered 928,000 YouTube views alone. CBS's statement framed the change as a calculated financial move, but public reception and viewership figures suggest the new program has struggled to maintain the audience that Colbert built over decades.

CBS recently replaced Stephen Colbert's long-running 'The Late Show' with Byron Allen's 'Comics Unleashed,' a syndicated half-hour comedy program for which Allen reportedly pays the network $15 million annually. The debut on the 11:30 p.m. slot received extremely harsh criticism from The Guardian's Andrew Lawrence. He described the show as overrun with forced applause and lacking any genuine writing or point of view, creating a bland and uninspired viewing experience. Unlike traditional late-night programs featuring monologues, celebrity interviews, or topical humor, 'Comics Unleashed' focuses solely on pre-packaged stand-up material delivered by guest comedians, with little attention to current events. The review criticized the show’s set design, stock video usage, and artificial atmosphere, likening it to a sterile, showroom-style production. Allen retains most of the advertising revenue under his CBS agreement, which may explain the emphasis on cost-effective programming over creative content. Lawrence suggests viewers seeking lively and relevant late-night entertainment would be better served by competitors like Jimmy Kimmel or John Oliver. Overall, the premiere of 'Comics Unleashed' highlights a significant departure from the traditional late-night format and has been met with strong negative reception.
