As far as I could tell, Byron Allen would ask "comics" I never heard of prepared questions so they could respond with prepared answers, probably from their acts, if they even had any. It was boring and even worse, not the least bit funny.

A couple of years ago, his "Funny You Should Ask" game show where comedians (most of which I have heard of) would answer questions with what I'm pretty sure were prepared responses was on GSN early in the morning. Before the show, an announcement would come on saying (and I'm paraphrasing) "The following is a paid announcement and does not reflect the views of this station." So he paid to have that one on too.
