Allen has maintained his prominent role in a struggling industry, acquiring The Weather Channel, the streaming platform Local Now, and stakes in BuzzFeed as well as CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox affiliates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, you&#8217;re throwing me an audience at 1:30 in the morning to my CBS affiliates that I own around the country,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;I said, &#8216;save your money.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The media mogul called the cancellation of &#8220;The Late Show&#8221; a &#8220;very unfortunate event&#8221; and said he will try to hold on to the late-night audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love Stephen Colbert. I&#8217;m a big fan,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;Once they made the decision, I said, &#8216;OK, this isn&#8217;t show business. This is business show.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Allen&#8217;s love for late-night television began when he was young, he said. His mother gave tours at NBC, and he would catch snippets of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/the-hidden-side-of-johnny-carson\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Johnny Carson<\/a><\/span> performing while waiting for her to get out of work.<\/p>\n<p>Allen was around 14 years old when he started doing stand-up comedy. He&#8217;s written jokes for Johnny Walker, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/archives-david-letterman-launching-late-show-1993\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">David Letterman<\/a><\/span> and Jay Leno. He performed on &#8220;The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson&#8221; when he was 18, which helped him earn a co-hosting spot on &#8220;Real People.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the moment I saw Johnny Carson, 51 years ago, I said, &#8216;this is what I&#8217;m going to do with my life: make people laugh,'&#8221; Allen said.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly 34 years to the day of when Carson stepped down from his iconic role, Allen will be doing just that.<\/p>\n<p>But, Allen said, there will be no politics on the show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You come, you laugh,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;I want to bring people
