He turned out to be very litigious. His "entertainment" business is trash, hence why nobody wants to air his garbage. But then Byron files a lawsuit calling the broadcaster racist and instead of going to court for decades they settle with this scumbag.

Genius. Entrepreneur. Comedian. So many television shows he created.

Mr. Carson had a wonderful way of building a performer up and being supportive of them before their grand entrance. Byron Allen is terrific. What a devastingly impressive first appearance on National BrocadastTelevision. Thanks for sharing.

Byron has come a MIGHTY long way...he is at the TOP of the game now!! #God'sgrace 👏☝️

It was very important for any comic that wanted to make it big to go on the Tonight Show. Once Johnny gave you the ok after their appearance, you were on your way to stardom.

I am so much enjoying this special treat of Johnny's shows every night in October. Thank you so much!!! A rare treet in this month of October!!!

Who didn’t love “real people” back in the early 80s? Sarah Purcell was my girl ❤❤❤

Proof timing is everything... ☺️👍🏻

I’m constantly amazed by how “old” these guys looked back in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Bryon at 18 would have easily passed for 30 - 35 if not older. I’m pushing 40 and I look younger than Bryon did here in this old clip.

At 3:43 you hear Johnny laughing loud at Byron's beverly hills high joke about the lawyers. Love it ☺️!!

Byron did well. Kid is poised.

As a norm fan too I was shocked to learn this goof was trying to buy an NFL team. So I Google ol Byron n learned he's made a career off of suing every major broadcaster for being racist. If they wouldn't air a "comics unleashed" he'd sue n call em racist. Instead of going to court for decades these people settle with him n cut him checks. Literally how he's made billions, through frivolous lawsuits

Who would of thought this guy would make it big. Long shot

@@mexicanspec of course they would say something. as i said, the woke left are offended by names of teams that are related to indians. like the redskins and so on. and have succeeded in having all sorts of mascots and so forth removed. it's been goin on for a number of years now. if someone did that today the woke left would cancel them. you can't have homosexual jokes if you are straight, you can't black jokes if you are white (that's been "racist" for decades now) you can't make jokes about anything or anyone they deem sacrosanct. there have been comedians "cancelled" because of it. i mean their shows have been literally cancelled because of the jokes they told.

Brilliant! His humor reminds me of my younger brother, who was (in the 1970's) asked on a High School history test to name the first African American to be invited to dine at the White House with the President and his family. Unable to recall the details (Booker T. Washington, invited in 1901 by Teddy Roosevelt) but being a fan of the famous Sammy Davis Jr., my brother wrote ... Sammy Davis Sr. In reviewing the questions with the class the next day, the teacher noted with a smile that a few people found this a difficult question, but that "any one who wrote Sammy Davis Sr. DESERVES to lose five points!" The laughter was worth it.

He is now worth 800 million

love johnie carson non better now i seen this show i loved byron ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Byron has some real talent. Nice to see Burt and the beautiful Connie Stevens on the couch.

5:06 I love the bumper music. Doc and the NBC Orchestra were both classy and brassy. LOL.

Real people was an awesome show, that’s what I know him best for. I actually won a real people T-shirt for sending in a typo that my local newspaper made, “Monday night football” came out “Monday night foodball.”

If he only knew the dynasty he would captain back then!

Best damn game show created by BYRON.... "FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK" and it's so Politically Incorrect 😝🤔👍🏻👊

Wow… $800 million later, Byron’s doing alright.

Byron on the WTF Marc Maron podcast talks in detail about this appearance. Right before Byron came out and during a commercial, Johnny went behind the curtains and told a young Byron that he was going to be great. This is something Johnny never did for anybody. Johnny was Byron's hero.

Byron learned early on nobody wants to be labeled racist. Hence why he's sued for racism his entire career. This dude is a scumbag, couldn't hack it with his "comedy" so he went around calling every broadcaster racist and suing left and right.

1:52 , 4:02 : Gotta wonder if those lines could be used today.

Would have been great to be a "comedian" in the 70s and 80s. Before all the material was taken, you could say anything. And as long as you were on stage with a smile you'd get a laugh.

From there to multi billionaire

Hey he was funny !! Witty with a spoof on reality!!!

Sorry, but Byron was 18+26 days. Alan Bursky was 18+25 days. Alan Bursky, yes, by one day, holds the record. Alan's birthdate is March 15, 1955. His first appearance was on April 11, 1973 Byron's birthdate is April 22,1961. His first appearance was May 17, 1979.

This performance was just _odd._ Timing was totally off; it's like he was up there in his own world doing a well-rehearsed shtick, not connecting with or responding to the audience _at all._
