Byron Allen was born in 1961 in Detroit. Not long afterward, he moved to LA. When he was just a teenager, he started doing stand-up clubs in Los Angeles. That was where comedian Jimmie 'JJ' Walker discovered him, and offered him a job as a writer. Allen worked alongside David Letterman and Jay Leno. He has been hosting Entertainers with Byron Allen (2000) since 1993.

    • Quotes
      Hollywood is a casino. You have to put your chips on the table and hope for the best. It's a big gamble. But I believe it's real simple. Number one, you need a good movie. Number two, you need a good release date. And then number three, you need to spend enough money to tell everybody you have a good movie. [Dec.2017]
