Late night TV's newest face is comedian Taylor Tomlinson, who hosts After Midnight on CBS.
Tomlinson's late-night program airs immediately after The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, occupying the time slot that previously belonged to The Late Late Show with James Corden which ended its run in 2023. Tomlinson's show of course joins the late-night lineup that also includes The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC, and Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.
What makes After Midnight different from the other late-night offerings and who is going to be on it? We have everything we know about the series laid out for you directly below.

Is After Midnight cancelled?
On March 26, multiple outlets reported that After Midnight would not be moving forward with a third season.
Tomlinson is the key factor in the decision, opting to exit the show she can focus more on her stand-up career and have the freedom to explore other projects in the future. However, rather than find a new host to take over After Midnight, CBS is reportedly going to end the show and have no immediate plans to replace it with original programming.
At this time an exact end date for After Midnight has not been announced, but it is expected to continue into June.
After Midnight host
Taylor Tomlinson is a stand-up comedian who has filmed multiple Netflix stand-up comedy specials, including Quarter Life Crisis, Look at You and Have It All.
Tomlinson was announced as the new host of After Midnight by Stephen Colbert during a special segment on The Late Show back in November 2023.
After Midnight premise
After Midnight is a slightly tweaked version of the Comedy Central show @midnight that was hosted by Chris Hardwick and ran from 2013-2017. CBS is billing the late-night show as "the smartest show on television about the dumbest things on the internet."
Tomlinson will lead a panel of rotating guests from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, music and beyond as they tackle the buzziest things on the internet in a game-show-style format.
Let Tomlison give you a preview of what to expect with this promo video shared on Instagram:
