  • Byron Allen hit it big in show business. Then he decided he wanted more. Once a star comedian and a joke writer, Allen gave it up more than 25 years ago when he launched Entertainment Studios Inc. Today, the production company counts seven TV networks to its name. On top of that, Allen made waves this year when he acquired the Weather Channel for $300 million. He's here to talk about how he turned his talent into an enterprise. Plus, he'll help us make sense of an entertainment industry in flux.

    I love the way Byron Allen controlled the interview. Andy Serwer attempted to cut him off several times and he did not allow it. Once again, a black man in power speaking the truth.

    He turned himself into a true role model. He has the demeanor of a boss. I love it.

    Andy tried to frame the conversation with irrelevant talking points like with questions about politics to no avail. Byron didn't allow Andy to control the narrative. Bryon is a brilliant man!

    Bravo for speaking your truth without allowing anyone to cut you off. Its rude not to allow someone to finish their thought.

    Byron is such an inspiration. I wish he can read the book "An Unlikely CEO" and make a movie out of it before the big companies get
