      He turned out to be very litigious. His "entertainment" business is trash, hence why nobody wants to air his garbage. But then Byron files a lawsuit calling the broadcaster racist and instead of going to court for decades they settle with this scumbag.

If they wouldn't air a "comics unleashed" he'd sue n call em racist. Instead of going to court for decades these people settle with him n cut him checks. Literally how he's made billions, through frivolous lawsuits

    Brilliant! His humor reminds me of my younger brother, who was (in the 1970's) asked on a High School history test to name the first African American to be invited to dine at the White House with the President and his family. Unable to recall the details (Booker T. Washington, invited in 1901 by Teddy Roosevelt) but being a fan of the famous Sammy Davis Jr., my brother wrote ... Sammy Davis Sr. In reviewing the questions with the class the next day, the teacher noted with a smile that a few people found this a difficult question, but that "any one who wrote Sammy Davis Sr. DESERVES to lose five points!" The laughter was worth it.
