With celebrated comedian Taylor Tomlinson at the helm and a panel of guests from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, music and beyond, AFTER MIDNIGHT is a late-night comedy series about what set the internet abuzz that day with a game show feel. AFTER MIDNIGHT airs Monday through Friday, 12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and streams live on Paramount+.

I’m not dissing on this, but why is Tomlinson NOT doing a talk show? She’s got so much more to offer than a game show like format. I hope this show can progress into something more.
I agree. I mean, can they let her do a monolog every night or something? What a waste of her talent. I might watch one or two more, to see if/how it evolves. But really, this show is old news; feels like cancellation in a few months -- or her getting bored and leaving -- is already all but guaranteed.
Answer: it’s a first step. Get her used to talking to different famous folk, what the rhythm of a show needs to be and how to improvise on the fly when a bit doesn’t work or a guest cancels. It’s training wheels. She won’t be here for long. She’ll be on to bigger things. I, for one, am here for it! She’s hilarious with anything she does.
Agreed
Agree
Idk I thought it was entertaining
I'm here to support Tomlinson, who is geninely one of the funniest stand-up comedians I've ever seen. If we can't get Tomlinson her own talk show (which she is 100% worthy of rocking), is there a chance we could compromise and let her have an opening monologue before the games start so that she can show off her comedic chops?
Love this idea
Opening monologue needs to happen.
I THOUGHT that this WAS going to be her 'talkshow'. Love her, not the format.
@@c.lee.g.1723 This is the Mean Girls musical adaptation all over again. This a reboot of the show “@midnight” that was announced a year ago, with Taylor taking over as host, this is not a Taylor Tomlinson late night show, it was never meant to be but the recent marketing never showed what the show is. If you went in expecting a Taylor Tomlinson late night show I can see why you’d be disappointed, but a lot of us are just tuning in because we enjoyed the original show.
Seriously! They were hyping this up to be a late night show.. which to me and I think everyone else means celebrity interviews… not a game show!
"YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!"..."You don't, it's our first show." lol
The answer "Friend" to lesser known tv shows was absolutely lethal. Knocked me out my seat.
Yes, but also the "Johnny Depp vs Amber Bird"... RIP my sides 🤣
💯
The grand prize of “Taylor Tomlinson’s Father’s approval” needs to be presented in person by Taylor Tomlinson’s actual father.
The prize we all relate to.
thought that would happen at least by vid
Save that for sweeps week
I would just love for Taylor's father to be sitting in the audience pouting with his arms folded until someone makes him laugh
It's funny because they're estranged
Please let Taylor have a talk show with this game apart of it. She deserves more space to be naturally funny!
I agree. But in a talk show, the interviewer needs to let the guest be the focus and it would be interesting if she can do that. I hope so. Too many game shows already
she is paying her dues now, hopefully it comes to this later. Massive investment.
Put a chick in it and make her gay and lame
A part of it?
What is this? A game show? This is not how it was described.
5:08 She gets it. CBS needs to let Taylor sit in a room with whoever she wants and plan the show she wants.
Yes!!!!
Right .. this is definitely a network décision
I really liked Taylor as a stand up comedian, but this sucked so much that I turned off after three minutes and will not be coming back. Even the comedians, scriptures jokes only one of them was at all funny. How can a comedian script at 10 second joke and it’s not be at all funny?
@@michaelsolomon8871 it got better as the show went on.
So true! I'm assuming these comedians have to plan all week for one-liners, because that's all the time they have to say their joke. One-liners are only so funny! Monologues are so much better @@michaelsolomon8871
My wish for Taylor is that this is enough to propel her to better things. I think she would rock a Graham Norton type of show!
Sold out shows on wonderful stages and Netflix specials WERE the better things. This is unfortunately a step down. Still love Taylor, she makes the best of it, I’ll give you that.
I went into this expecting a talk show. While I’m still severely disappointed it’s not (because Taylor absolutely deserves one), she did a wonderful job and it was fun to watch!
The last thing I want to watch is another celebrity on a press tour answering boring questions. At least this is topical.
Same !!!!
Yeah, I was surprised frankly. Her loose and funny chit chat with producer Stephen Colbert on his talk show is the vibe that I was looking for. This more or less scripted "fake" game show where comedians come on with pre-written quips for internet pics to deliver rapid fire was hit and miss and ultimately sort of tiring to watch. It's like, I get the cleverness of some of their lines, but it's not for me.
@@ragweedmakesmesneezethey’re trying to copy british panel shows but missed. doesn’t work well with american audiences for some reason
@@angelorobledo1536 yeah to much focus on competition and not enough of the "lets see what we can make fun of" (R.I.P. mock the week). The american sense of needing to prove who is the best is not helping.
I personally didn't love the format but I came here for Tomlinson and she didn't disappoint. Whitney was a pleasant surprise, but I didn't know the other guests. Looking forward to more Taylor Tomlinson in the future.
I think America is just warming up to panel shows after 3 decades ... they'll get it soon.
Kurt was a semi-regular on @Midnight, this show's predecessor.
Aparna is a boss.
This is so dumb considering the talented people involved, is it america’s funniest videos, or Jeopardy? might as well have a laugh track.
@@eliotcolecomedy It's all about the banter, but here in America we're not nationally training from age 6 on the schoolyard playground like British kids do.
You can feel CBS being terrified of the truly improvised moments that make these formats shine. Also, the studio lighting does not help the vibe at alllll. But I loved everybody on screen.
Yeah this stuff kills in the UK and Japan.
We need to let Taylor go full Craig Ferguson and just bullshit around with people because they know nobody is watching tv this late.
@@chandler_martian omg can you tell me more about Craig Ferguson and what do you mean by that? :D I've never came across him honestly and only a few minutes ago just saw another comment that mentioned him and his monologue about Britney Spears (haven't seen it yet, just went onto googling it and accidentally ended up here anyway lol love u Taylor!X D
@@olexvndrv Oh boy I can try. I feel like he became well known for his more casual, yet chaotic interview style, usually relying more on improv than any sort of script. You’ll often see him talk about random everyday things with guests or engage in silly improvised bits with them. Amazing examples of this if you’re interested are his interviews with Robin Williams. I’m sure some of the humor hasn’t aged the best but you really see how quick witted he is and can basically go toe to toe with Robin in terms of his improv skills. It’s basically both of them going full adhd brain and it’s pretty epic lol. I would recommend starting there if you want a good example of what made his show unique compared to other late night talk shows.
Taylor needs a talk show, PLEASE!!!! She is one of my favorite modern comedians. So naturally funny and charismatic ❤ Her energy and humor is captivating and makes you want to keep watching!
She is great 😊
why would she need a talk show, shes a comedian, she's doing comedy.
She was so excited when she was told she had a late night tv show, then they told her the format and she was like "Oh!... how... ... fun!"
She's clearly having fun. It's only youtube ❄️❄️❄️ crying
I don't know if I'm in the minority but I was at first disappointed when I thought she was going to be sitting behind a desk wearing a suit and slowly getting more and more political to gain attention. That's a waste of her comedic talent and besides, talk shows are kind of a thing of the past. Trying to start a new one now is a death sentence. Look at Lilly Singh. The current generation of viewers don't care for it and the only people still watching talk shows are the ones who have been watching them for a while so they're established shows.
That being said, this format is a bit of an odd choice, plus it's kind of copied from a show called "Game Changer" by the Collegehumor (or whatever they're calling themselves now). It still gave me a few laughs so I'm down to give it a try.
@@SwiftJustice im sorry man but that is so fake, she's forced to over the top laugh at every single joke.
#GiveItTime
@@hittingyouovertheheadnope. Game Changer is kinda a copy of the original midnight.
This game would be great as a segment ON TAYLOR'S OWN TALK SHOW!
My sentiments exactly. She's so much better than this recycled notion of a show could ever be.
Spot on.
Yeah I agree with you on that & hope this show will be cancelled so they can get Taylor her own talk show. And more variety than a dumb game show.
I agree. Way too simple for long term success. I don’t know what awful EXEC came up with this idea.
It’s like wild and out, but for late night shows. Sadly , everything feels very forced.
Thank you. Yes agreed. Taylor, you are hilarious and an amazing writer with a talent for imrov and working a crowd. This could be part of what you do but I would have preferred about 6 minutes of this format
This show needs to start with Taylor getting to do a monologue! She's a great comedian and needs to get more spotlight! That said I actually like this game concept. Reminds me of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me turning its attention to TikTok. I'm enjoying it!
Please please please don't let this show die. It's the closest thing to Mock the Week or 8 Out of 10 Cats we have this side of the pond and I love it!
This show already died and this is the reboot lol
Yeah the original ran for 4 years on Comedy Central before the dumb decision to cancel it. Hope this show continues to grow for years to come.
Yeah the original ran for 4 years on Comedy Central before the dumb decision to cancel it. Hope this show continues to grow for years to come.
you need to check out dropout for pannel shows done right in the US, they are on par with Channel4
I miss MTW
Now if I want to see a balding fat comedian wirh an irish accent roast the news I have to look in a mirror while watching news live streams
The show needs work but most late night shows didn't get it right until the were a year in! Make the loser do a 5 mins set at the end, have Taylor do a Monologue at the beginning that will both include day info and info you can come back to. Taylor you're great! Keep the energy!
appreciate the tempered praise, and constructive advice. im afraid for every commentor claiming a talk show would be better, when the limitations are baked in. this show could be so much more - and that's a great place to start!
Needs work? No, it needs to be cancelled and whoever greenlit this mess should be fired and permanently banned from the entertainment industry.
@SuperPorchswing James Corden would faint to read you type this way
I actually love this idea!
Agreed. Even Breaking Bad took a while to find its rhythm.
never has a game show been so in danger of bombing every second.
what a tightrope walk. This show will live or die based on the comedians they book.
I'm a huge fan of Taylor's. I hope she manages to pull this thing off.
give her the guests!
This, was excited for the show but I'm worried after the guest announcement bit
I love Taylor, but the premise of “who’s funnier from Taylor’s perspective” is very risky.
Isn't this just a redo of @midnight with Chris Hardwick? That had 5 seasons and 600 episodes.
Yes it's a reboot of it@@TheHomerowKeys
@@TheHomerowKeys it's a reboot. The Twitter handle hasn't even changed
I was disappointed at first that the gameshow thing would be stupid, but the format grew on me. Excited to see Taylor's career growing.
Whereas, I remain disappointed.
Total revamp of At Midnight. LOVE it. Taylor's perfect for this.
Chris was better but Taylor's cool.
At Midnight being in a 30 minute timeslot worked in it's favour, this revamp is a big too long imo, but is still fine.
I was expecting more of a talk show. This @midnight from comedy central and should have never went off the air. I miss Chris Hardwick saying points and FTW! At least Whitney is an alumnus for @midnight!
@@hansteichmann all 3 of the ones on the first show were on the original.
They even kept the @ symbol. It isn't as good, and I feel like they aren't acknowledging they're totally revamping a great show. Maybe for legal reasons. I don't know why it isn't as good, she's a good comic, similar guests. I just doesn't hit as hard or make me laugh much.
I died at the lesser known TV show “Friend” 😭💀
That was basically "Joey" (spin-off for two seasons after "Friends" ended). It was... not great.
I think it was about something else but I could be wrong.
Taylor really should have her own talk show.
That's what I thought this shit was supposed to be...
Agreed.
@@robertk617 Yep, me too.
What a disappointment this was.
I was expecting somewhat of a talk show, but two of the guests were just not funny and the format was a disaster. Very disappointing - since waiting a long time for this show
21:22 "Johnny Depp vs. Amber Bird", Kurt's a frickin' genius 😂
Yeah that was my favorite part had me rolling 😂😂😂
I love how Whitney gains points during cutscenes where we don’t hear the whole thing.
We clearly need this to be uncensored.
I love the show, love meeting new comics. Less censorship.
Its not exactly the same, but anyone reading can check out Dropout if they're looking to see an ad free uncensored comedy team with many people doing all sorts of things. I'm a bit high but that's how im trying to say it. Im so curious if our comments will be read as someone and analyzed as part of their job at CBS. Fuck, maybe even a bunch of people. Fuckin surreal
I love how often the two female comedians got 200 points instead of 100!! Were those quips particularly funny? Hell no, but men suck! F*ck 'em because reasons!!
I love how the ladies are often given 200 points for jokes that aren't particularly funny! Men suck, amiright?
@@andrewbgray Self inflicted victim play. Chill the fuck out it's the first episode.
There’s no “play” involved. My comment is a month old, and in that time her behavior hasn’t changed.
I love her stand-up so much.
Absolutely amazing
Bien
“Aparna, do you have a favourite childhood memory, and if so, may I have it?”😂😂😂Taylor is 10/10 best
Totally unrelated comment, but I was reading your comment as I simultaneously listened to the video, crazy sync up!
This was brilliant, I expected it would be good but Taylor just knocked it out of the park. Whitney absolutely killing it as usual
Are you sure you watched the same show as the rest of us ?
Some of Taylor’s best crowd work is talking to people about their relationships, I bet she’d thrive doing that in some way, have a guest on and have a live tv version of normal gossip. Not a fan of the game show format but she makes the best of it.
This breaks my heart Taylor is too good for this
yeah she deserves so much better than this 😭😭😭 hopefully all in good time. Please let her take over Conan if needed LOL, she has his permission too.
couldn't agree more.... thinking this will soon be just another in a very long line of "panel" type shows, destined for utter failure from the start.... all these shows are made solely for the purpose of, and under the faulty assumption , that they'll produce a bounty of short, bite sized clips of web content
Co-sign
@@wachinpntdry. @midnight won 2 Emmys with the identical format but I guess she's too good for that.
I enjoyed it but they can definitely do more with her
Taylor is FAB, as per usual, but it's very telling that the best moments of this whole episode were the unscripted/off-hand comments by Taylor and the guests. They are all SO talented and thrive in those little moments that give the show momentum again. There is so much gimmicky structure; the comics need space to FLORISH! I hope Taylor gets a real talk show one day!!! 💖
agreed, if it were looser it would be better.
Yeah she needs more freedom like Conan got when he moved to TBS.
This is on the verge of being a British game show so frankly I like that they've got her running it as she's better able to match that style than many American comedians normally would, but without making the show feel imported.
Yeah this is like a weaker version of Dropout game shows
@@lukemcdo yeah but it's like a worse version of British game shows. The guests need more time to joke with each other rather than just giving short improv (is it even improv or scripted?) answers
Aparna is incredible, I'm so happy she's getting more screen time.
Congratulations to Taylor for nailing this gig! Can't wait to see where you'll go now!
Get Taylor’s dad to record a clip where he reluctantly gives a thumbs up that you can play in the end xD
And don't warn Taylor.
Okay, hear me out. This is a great concept for a show. I think it should be more relaxed and conversational. With chairs, maybe a few cocktails.(Add a waiter character for bits) Then it’s still a game show, with different games, but it’s more fun and unorganized. I feel like that would make an already great show, amazing.
If they took out the buzzers and did the challenges with a graham norton vibe, this show would be unstoppableeee
@@jennidoesherbest Exactly what I was thinking.
Would love to see the midway point between this and Dropout's Dirty Laundry!
All of that, but only for Taylor. And she spends the whole episode lording it over everyone.
Yea basically Game Changer or something like the more relaxed like some of the British panel shows with more back and forth between the comedians. The guests hating the host is part of the charm.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life was from Kurt when he used to host an old game show I think it was called or some similar onomatopoeia, and he had a bit where he hated one of his production crew, and was trying to get him to take a job elsewhere, and the production member was reading the job listings that Kurt had sent to him, and one of them said "f*** off and die" and Kurt smiles and says "I just thought you'd be really good at it". I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe, and it has stuck with me for almost a decade
I love they kept the spirit of @midnight with comedians not everybody has heard of 🧡🧡🧡
I was so looking forward to this but my heart sank. Give Taylor a talk show, I have no idea what this is. She’s a fantastic comedian, let her do what she does please.
Totally agree.
> I have no idea this is
This is some bean counter deciding to remake Whose Line Is It Anyway where for some reason the points matter
All the people who didn't watch @midnight are crying and that's just a bad look. Grow up
@@SwiftJusticei can see why the original show was canceled then
So disappointed. ☹️
Yeah, i agree she's paying her dues with this show for bigger solo things to come. She's got fans all over the world for sure! God Speed Taylor 😍
I don't know about all over the world, but I am watching from Poland, which is quite far away XD
paying her dues LMFAO. She's ATROCIOUS.
@@wacogliderman9396 I wish I could disagree, but there's not a person on the Earth that could make this show look good.
It's not her fault, except for maybe signing on. She needs to get out of this show fast, I just hate seeing her having to fake laughter.
She is way too talented for this POS. I never cracked a smile. But I laugh out loud at her doing stand-up. This format was concocted by somebody on mood elevators, & smoking great weed, AND concussed.
But she’s paid her dues already.
@archivestereo I agree! It's the bosses that want to test her out on this format first.
I love Taylor's stand up and I am sure she knows what she is doing. She's doing what another Taylor that I love is. Making a name for herself and taking control of her own situation through humor. Enjoying this greatly.
Whitney and Taylor are the two comedic loved of my life!!!!!♥️♥️
Very funny, and I'll be adding this to my daily watch list. I couldn't help but think, however, that I'd also like to see Taylor host a standard late night show with the monologue and guests. She's just a big 'ol hit of dopamine!
Yeah!!!
I thought that's what we were getting 😢
I really didn't love how sanitised the comedy felt for the first few minutes. It reminded me of how lucky I feel to live in Australia, where comedians can safely say "fuck" on TV without being bleeped. But damn, everybody got in an absolute stride a few minutes in and I was cracking up properly. Very excited for Paul F. Tompkins, he's one of my absolute favourites. And Kurt's "Johnny Depp vs. Amber Bird" deserves to be part of this show's hall of fame.
Can't wait to visit, would love living there someday and yeah this is not the most laid back network
Taylor doesn’t disappoint 💪🏼 I wish she had more freedom in format. Why doesn’t she have a monolog? Why don’t we get introduced to the other comedians before jumping into the show? It’s fine to have the game, but having the game as the ONLY aspect of the show leaves me wishing for other segments.
Most importantly we need an opportunity to care who every one is, and to get the late night monologue we all want from her. This format is giving afternoon, not after midnight.
Easy answer: execs still think women aren’t funny.
I'm in for ANYTHING Taylor is a part of. She kills.
Great talent, but Taylor definitely deserves her own talk show, not this ridiculous game show idea!
I agree. I don't care for the game shows Fallon does too.
It was announced from the very beginning that it was gonna be based on @Midnight on Comedy Central that was a GAME SHOW FORMAT. You were not reading right.
@@jakeinator722 it was still lame
@@mattcarman1772not everything is FOR you, Matt 😂
The game show is only a framing device. The real entertainment should come from the smartass answers and occasional rulebreaking.
Congratulations Taylor! Great show! Please book Richard Ayode and Catherine Ryan. If we're doing panels, let's do it for real.
Yes please, let's get the Brits out here to do this properly.
Given our track record of panel shows I wouldn't be surprised if they declined lol
@@Andy-MesaMy inner monolog switched to Rob Brydon's voice while reading ur comment
Oh yeah, there are plenty of UK options. Maybe Shappi Khorsandi, Kevin Bridges or Jimmy Carr next time they're in town.
OMG, yes! Let's get them all!
I 😂🤣😂🤣 laughed so loud when Taylor said, Oh, we've all dated that guy ! I know I did. You are so funny 🤣😂🤣😂 Taylor Tomlinson and you are beautiful ! ❤❤❤❤
SO HAPPY this show is back!
4 amazing standups make fun of the internet. Perfect.
No notes.
❤❤❤
back?
@@samtiddies3542this is a rework of the "@midnight" show hosted by Chris Hardwick from Comedy Central
@@samtiddies3542 ya, this show was on tv almost 15 years ago on Comedy Central and it was called “At Midnight” or @midnight and it was the exact same format. The host of that show was a male and it was revealed he was a toxic abusive dick to his gf and staff, so it got cancelled.
"Whitney do you want to be in this episode" is the best line ever. Good debut episode Taylor Tomlinson! Excellent panel of comedians. Subscribed and looking forward to the next episodes.
It sure felt like she was being given the third degree.
Whitney SLAYYYYEEEEDDDD with things that "I think he's Mexican", but remember she was TRYING to be cringey. But if you watch her points rise without them airing her answers, you know the censors probably cut alot of her responses lol.
This was a GREAT 1st episode. And a great way to introduce professional comedians to a larger audience
At least there’s a Chelsea Handler connection with her
Whitney was robbed!!!
@@Joe-nb3fs Nah, but you could see how some of her answers were edited out. Hence the comment from Taylor. I would LOVE to see the unedited version of this. The laugh from everyone when Taylor said this you could see it was just in good fun.
I would love to see Taylor get an actual talk show. It could still have a comedian flare but I don't know if it needs to be a game show. Taylor deserves better.
Honestly, I like this. It's a spin on the classic British panel show like Whose Line or Mock the Week.
I thought she was getting a talk show in the vein of a Late Late Show. This will get canceled after 1-2 seasons.
@@cha0sniperlike what i get on youtube shorts all the time
30:40. Taylor was right. She is the co-host to the screen. She deserves so much more. We deserve more!
I'm liking this so far, its like Who's Line Is It Anyway meets Jeopardy
I love her stand-up so much. Never stop doing that, Taylor!
Exactly. Stop doing game shows. Never stop doing stand-up.
In other words, don’t quit your day job…
Taylor carried this HAAAAARD. Can't wait to see what becomes of this show.
It seemed like a laugh track, as most of the comedy was not so good
this was not what I was expecting at all, but I honestly laughed out loud the entire time, tears flowing. catch me back every night
Taylor was the comedian at our company Christmas party one year. It's been exciting to see how far she's come. There's no stopping her. ❤
EDIT: This show had a STRONG second half! The guests really warmed up.
This show is at it's best when Taylor extends her self-deprecation to the show itself.
I think this was greenlit because Game Changer on Dropout is killing it on RUclips shorts, and CBS execs think that means young people want a game show.
Taylor deserves an actual late night talk show, not whatever this is (unless shes enjoying it, in which case i hope it lasts forever because shes great). 😊
Game Changer yesss
Good point. She does seem to be having some fun up there, and she deserves it.
Yeah but dropout had a Looong History before game show version, and before they’re releasing on shorts. So had built in audience AND the whole cast knows each other helps with chemistry etc. so dropout is more like who’s” line
The whole show I was thinking "Game Changer (specifically 'Make Some Noise') did it better." But this has potential.
I hope she makes tons of money and then goes back to making stand up specials.
I'm so happy this show is back! Loved the first version, and Taylor is doing great!!! Smash or Pass had me howling!!
I really like this. Great job Taylor! Can't wait for more!
Whitney Cummings being on the premiere of Taylor's show is perfect. She, Aparna, and Kurt did a great job, and Taylor slayed. Looking forward to more!
Honestly, the Depp/Amber Bird joke won the night for me. Love Taylor & wish her great success!
U

SAME LOL
"The Gimpsons" and "Friend" got me good.
@midnight is back! Yes!!! I’ve missed this show so much. Go Taylor!!!!
I'm a Taylor Tomlinson fan, but my schedule demands sleep before midnight. Thank you for posting full episodes to RUclips 🙏🏻❤❤❤❤
"You know what that sound means" is fucking funny
😂😂 right
Taylor really did her part like she was born for it. The comebacks, the fluidity, always amazing. Love this and love her success. Wish her the very best!
I like Taylor, but the forced excessive fake laughter was painful to watch.
If she could make this more like a Game Changer (Dropout) that lets her flex her chops a little more and have some really charismatic returning guests, this could really be something. Taylor is super funny and crazy talented.
I love the idea of comedians dropping in to play when they are in town. From the big names to the little known ones.
I don't think this format is for me, but I wish Taylor the best!
40 mins I'll never get back....she's funny and witty, what was this car wreck?
@@robertk617it was the first show ever, don’t burn it down just yet
Same. I love Taylor, but this was not for me.
@@robertk617 I will stick to the RUclips version to see if it changes and skip ahead - It was very disappointing to me
@@mattcarman1772 ditto
i love her quote “we’ve taylor-ed this” bc idk if it was actually intended to be a pun on her name
I've been waiting more of Taylor since "Sad in the city". Congrats!!!
I’m a big fan of Taylor’s stand-up. 5 seconds into Taylor explaining this game, I’m thinking “oh this is getting cancelled immediately.” Agreed with everyone else here that she should have a talk show or another format.
Y'all are crybabies
TAYLOR DESERVES SO MUCH MORE!!!!! make After Midnight a talk show... a monologue, interviews, some games, EVERYTHING. Taylor is so special and so talented. she is so much more than a game show host. I LOVE U TAYLOR
This! 💯
Talk shows are a dead format. They’re all being cancelled except for the very largest ones, because there aren’t enough TV viewers left to make them profitable given expenses. Lower production value shows like this are what’s left.
@@jbcaI swear, I was gonna say the same thing. 🙂
This will be dead before the talk shows. @@jbca
Wow, fantastic inaugural episode, Taylor. Can't wait for more. :)
Side note, I REALLY love the aesthetic of the screen, how it starts on the floor and scrolls like a phone. :O
It's a stand up comedian special every show! Love it!!
LMAO the way they blurred the comedians fingers at the finger covers bit 😂
@9:20 the genuine tone when she asks "is that offensive" got me 😆
I couldn’t make out what she said.
Heard about this but didn't know it was actually an at midnight reboot. The original was such a good show and can't wait to tune in for this from now on. Happy for Taylor.
Now as the @midnight tournament of champion like 2 times I believe. it's only right to have Doug Benson on a few times.
He was in the last episode.
A great way to introduce lots of great new and funny comedians! Genius.
Oh my god i loved the back half of this episode. the charisma SHOT up once everyone got a little bit more comfortable. absolutely wonderful show.
It's almost like the director told everyone to "dial it up a notch!" during the commercial break!
Taylors energy is so wonderful. i could honestly just listen to her bringing comedians on and just riffing for hours. this is very very nice to watch :)
I love it when she said "it is time for commercials" the add started😂
I was expecting something way different, but the graduation music during the pat on the back? That was amazing 😂
She’s doing an amazing job leading this and weaving her style of comedy into the show. Can’t wait to see where this goes. Congrats Taylor!
The amount of times that Whitney's comments were scrubbed is hysterical. How can we get the unedited version?
Right!? It's aired After Midnight!? The clue is in the name ffs! Whats with all this bullshit censorship? "Going *down*" ?? Come on!!
@JamieBarty unfortunately is still network TV, where they're still stuck in the stone age.
Omg when they were talking about the cheese finger things they had to blur out Kurt and Whitney’s hands lmfao 😂😂😂
This was funny! And this was the pilot. Can’t wait to watch more
So happy to see this show revived and enhanced. The addition of the game that got the panelists out from behind the podiums was excellent, a great way to mix up the format and keep the humor flowing.
Yes! I loved the parts where they got out from behind the podiums.
But I thought after midnight you could cuss more? Oops, wrong MTV Networks property
I'd love to see the uncut version of Whitney's answers. She was on fire.
Just found this. Glad I got to see the first one first. All of these comedians made me laugh so much I'm getting a headache. So thanks for that.
Nice! I used to love @Midnight but I recall Hardwick did something we're all mad about but I can't remember what it was. Soooo I'm glad it's back.
The fact that I still have about 30 of my favourite episodes of @midnight saved on DVR, and now it's finally come back after 7 years with this reboot? Glorious.
I miss Hardwick for sure, but Tomlinson absolutely owns this. The only thing that'll make it better is getting the best @midnight guest ever, Ron Funches back on.
All hail king shark! I mean Ron Funches! So happy when he shows up in things (Harley Quinn, ,@midnight) we need more Ron!
I joined Twitter in 2014 specifically to take part in @midnight's Hashtag Wars. I can still hear the line "it's time for the Hashtag Wars" in Hardwick's voice. That said, Taylor is a fine inheritor, and I'm happy for all involved. May your run be lengthy and well compensated.
Yes to all of this!
Yay! I watched all of @ Midnight before, so excited it's basically back!
WE WANT TAYLOR'S OPENING MONOLOGUE!!!!
Am I shouting loud enough?
Can the Back-benchers hear me?
Well it was noticed. My guess is you'll probably get one eventually too
I knew I missed @Midnight, but apparently didn't realize how much. I haven't religiously watched a late night show in quite a few years, but they've got me. I'm impressed that they were able to sustain the format with an extended runtime and am confident it's only going to get better, especially with Jo Firestone heading up the writers' room. Taylor Tomlinson is new to me and she seems like the perfect person for the job. I really hope people discover this and keep it on the air.
Came here to say basically the same thing but I already knew about Thomlison. Her standup is great.
Thank you, I thought I was going crazy I think you're the first person I've seen comment about @midnight. I was like didn't we already do this (I'm happy it's back don't get me wrong) but I was beginning to worry that I my husband an i were having a Barenstein/stain Mandela effect moment 😆. Any love Taylor over Chris Hardwick any day of the week.
I literally just commented that this felt so much like @midnight (didnt realize it was like 10 years ago). Would be hilarious if Hardwick was a guest at some point
When Colbert introduced Taylor as the new host, he mentioned @midnight as the show after his show on connect central.
@@nothanks8426 It hurts that it's already been 10 years since @midnight was on air! I remember when Chris was announcing it on the podcast!
As a lifelong @Midnight fan, I had my reservations about this reboot, but after the first episode it definitely grew on me and I'm very excited to see how it takes off from here. Well done Taylor!!!
Same! I was a big fan of the original and it was the only time I felt compelled to use the BirdSite 😂
I hope they get rid of the awkward commercial lines they made her say and let the comedians really go after it 😂
I’m excited though…I missed the format
I'm right there with you!
Loved @midnight! I was in the studio audience twice. This version is pretty good
Lifelong? So you're, like, ten years old?
@@davidpotter8297 that’s super cool ! Living on the East Coast sadly wasn’t able to. Excited for the new one though
I enjoyed it -it was random, funny most of the time. I ain’t mad. Go Taylor!
Taylor is just so great❤ I don't know if I like this format, but I had a great time watching it. Well, it's Taylor Tomlinson, the only stand-up comedian that made me subscribe to Netflix.
Once Taylor dropped he “game show host” voice ( around the Emmy bit) my enjoyment level rose dramatically. Taylor is great. The guests were great. Successful debut. Congratulations!
exactly this. I almost gave up too soon
I heard this also, but as a fellow woman in her 30s I would be incoherent with nerves so I trust she’ll grow more comfortably herself as she gets used to it ❤. Endless respect the millennial girls currently realizing their professional potential ❤
"Do you have a favorite childhood memory, and if so, can I have it?" haha! So many actually awesome one-liners in this.
