‘Late Show’ host Stephen Colbert announced that comedian Taylor Tomlinson, known for her Netflix specials “Quarter-Life Crisis” and “Look at You,” will host the CBS talk show series “After Midnight,” which Colbert serves as a producer on.
Colbert also posted on social media: “Stephen’s excited about his new late night series (Taylor’s Version)! @taylortomlinson @midnight”; while Tomlinson wrote on Instagram: “I got a job ”
“After Midnight” will fill the 12:30 a.m. slot, previously held by “The Late Late Show With James Corden.” Corden, who’d hosted his eponymous late-night comedy talk show since its 2015 premiere, wrapped the show in April.
“After Midnight” draws inspiration from the social media-based game show “@midnight,” which ran on Comedy Central from 2013-2017.
