Byron Allen began his career as a stand-up comedian and became the youngest comic ever to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson at just 18 years old. He later founded Allen Media Group (formerly Entertainment Studios), building it into a major media empire that owns dozens of television networks, local TV stations, and film distribution companies.
