Byron Allen says late nights on CBS are going to look A LOT different when Stephen Colbert steps aside after Thursday's show ... and he says the key to replacing Colbert will be a comedy show that's light on politics and heavy on timeless, inclusive humor.

The billionaire comedian and media mogul joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and told us about his vision for filling Colbert's vacated time slot with a couple new shows.

When Colbert goes dark after his final episode, his weeknight hour on CBS will be replaced by "Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen" and another show Byron produces, "Funny You Should Ask."

Jeff Probst says he knew he screwed something up on the live taping of the "Survivor 50" finale when the energy in the room suddenly changed ... and he's explaining how the major blunder unfolded.

The longtime "Survivor" host joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and broke down the mistake he made live on air, when he announced the loser of a challenge before viewers saw the results.

Jeff says he was backstage preparing for live interviews with contestants as pretaped segments aired ... he wasn't watching the live finale, and was just a little ahead in the script when he came out to talk to Rizo Velovic.

Steve Shirilla is pushing back on the firestorm surrounding Netflix's documentary about his daughter ... insisting his comments about marijuana were twisted and people have misunderstood what he was trying to say.

Check it out ... Steve joined us on “TMZ Live” after being placed on paid leave from his Ohio Catholic school teaching job following backlash over "The Crash" ... centered around his daughter, Mackenzie Shirilla, who was convicted of murder in the 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend Dominic Russo and friend Davion Flanagan.

A major point of controversy has been Steve's remarks in the doc about Mackenzie smoking marijuana as a teenager ... but he says that interpretation is off base ... telling us the filmmakers condensed days of interviews into a few short sound bites and left out important context.

Comedy veteran Sheryl Underwood says the surprise "r-word" joke from Dwayne Johnson during Netflix’s "The Roast of Kevin Hart" worked because roast comedy plays by a different set of rules ... and she says audiences understood the context.

Underwood stopped by "TMZ Live" on Monday and told us she thought The Rock’s appearance ultimately brought the room together ... especially after years of discourse surrounding his identity and public image.

Watch the video ... she tells us true roast comedy is not for the mainstream -- acknowledging that some viewers may bristle at moments, but roasts have always been built around pushing boundaries.

Jeremy Corbell is encouraged and optimistic about the first batch of alien and UFO files being released by the government ... he says the transparency here is a long time coming.

The UFO expert and filmmaker joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and we asked him about the Pentagon releasing photos, videos and files on aliens and unidentified aerial phenomena.

Jeremy tells us the White House has told him more files will be released as part of a "slow burn" ... and he hopes that means they are easing people into the information. On the other hand, he says a slow rollout could mean President Trump didn't get the good stuff.

The hantavirus scare is giving some people COVID flashbacks ... but this virus apparently doesn't have the same bite.

Dr. Ashish Jha -- the former White House COVID response coordinator -- stopped by "TMZ Live" to tell everyone to exhale a little over the deadly outbreak aboard the MV Hondius ... because while he's worried about people exposed on that ship, he tells us this thing is NOT shaping up to be another COVID-style nightmare.

Check it out ... he assures us, "This is not gonna be a pandemic. That's not how this virus is going to behave."
