Entertainment Studios Preps New Syndicated Comedy Series

LOS ANGELES, August 21: Actor-comedian Byron Allen is slated
to host and executive produce Comics Unleashed, a new U.S. syndicated comedy series from his company, Entertainment
Studios, that launches September 25.

The half-hour daily comedy strip has been cleared in 85
percent of the U.S. market on Clear Channel Television and Sinclair Broadcast,
and has secured deals in Canada and Australia. Allen, the chairman and CEO of
Entertainment Studios, said of the series, "Stand-up comedy gave me my
start in this business and I've always enjoyed the backstage comedy with other
comedians before and after we took the stage. Comics Unleashed will bring those hilarious conversations to
households worldwide and laughter to viewers each night."

Shot in HD, Comics Unleashed will see stand-up comedians engaging in panel discussions in front of
a live audience. The first comics slated to appear include Dane Cook, Howie
Mandel, George Wallace, Jon Lovitz, Carol Leifer, David Brenner, Pauly Shore
