AFTER MIDNIGHT airs Monday through Friday, 12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and streams live on Paramount+.
The hoodie blazer combo 1 week into hosting a network show is a powerful move not to be disrespected
And she pulls it off too! Hell yeah, Taylor!
The hoodie for 1000 points!
This would... Technically be week two
I want her to wear the exact same outfit for the 6 episodes just to upset the execs who mysteriously think female hosts shouldn't be allowed to wear the same thing twice but men should always look identical lol
So punk rock🖤 Or is it now just classic rock? Idfk, it was mos def punk rock when I made it my uniform in college 23ish yrs ago. Still is.
TL;DR: What I hear you saying is I'm still cool 😎
JOSH JOHNSON AND TAYLOR TOMLINSON IN ONE SHOW THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER WANTED 🎉😍🤩
Seriously, they're both so great I can't believe I get them together!
yessss
Set the bar low I reckon
I knowwwww, riiiight?! So funny and so quick!
They're both so great in this. I love it
Acknowledging that the subreddit is the inspiration for this bit makes it _infinitely_ easier to enjoy - I wish every show that interpolated ideas like this did the same thing, it's SO much better
I don't know if it makes it better, but I always appreciate when people or companies acknowledge inspiration or the origin of ideas, rather than pretending they are the font of all creativity themselves.
Josh Johnson is a national treasure
Josh Johnson is funnier, looking confused about a real thing he saw on the news that day, than most comedians after rolling their tight 15 for a year.
Maybe in the nation of your mind.
"And that's why I'm reading you my old storybook, in my old bedroom." XD
Also, the only funny person competing
@@TigerGreenenope. This whole damn country.
Atsuko saying "hey baby...." 😅 ☠️
Josh Johnson is my favorite living comedian-he’s very low key and brutally funny without being too unkind!
I literally clicked because I saw he was on it.
You mean because he's black?
Yup! The best right now
Yes! I somehow climbed out from under a rock - only discovered him like a week ago - but now I'm watching the wealth of material he has on RUclips. 😂
OMGGGG I BEEN TRYING TO FIND THAT SPANISH LESSON WITH KERRY WASHINGTON FOR THE BETTER PART OF MY EARLY ADULTHOOD WTFFF! Nobody believed me when I talk about this
LOL!! I would've believed you!! In my 6th grade science class we had a video that had young Cuba Gooding Jr. in it lololol
That religious skateboarder was from Colby the Christian computer. I only know this because I remember laughing at that exact scene in catcholic school as a kid and this clip awakened that memory.
Omg, Colby the Christian Computer! Now that definitely brings back memories
A week in and Taylor looks way more relaxed now. Hope the show does great, I'm really enjoying it!
Funny how these things just need time to settle in, huh? It's not just Taylor; it's just getting smoother in general
Totally agree. I came here for her, I was unsure about the show. At this point I'm really starting to feel the show... but she's the one delivering it and she's kicking ass at it.
I mean, obviously the panel is a huge part of it too, but her delivery has improved dramatically in just a few episodes. Some of my favorite shows have taken at least a whole season to find their footing whereas it's just taken her a few episodes. That's a powerful thing in my less than humble opinion.
First episode of sunny in Philadelphia is a very awkward watch.. mid season 2 to like season 12 is like near peak comedy tv (its still good post 12 or w.e tbh)@@dustinsandage9387
Meant first season not first episode tbh
@@dustinsandage9387 Like star trek. Man, almost all first seasons of star trek are painful to watch.
Josh understood the assignment - more of him, please
Best panel so far. Esp good to see Josh Johnson get his due. Such a hard working comic!
When she said Josh was in the lead, i was like, "Is anyone surprised?"
I'm 1000% here for Taylor & Josh
I think you can explain Mark Zuckerberg to a 5 year old by asking if they know about Pinocchio and telling them that sometimes it so happens that you don't become a real boy.
😂😂😂
Pinocchio: Uno Reverse 🔄
Josh Johnson is on this and so I'm going to watch every single clip
Josh rules
Future comedy hall of famer
Taylor Tomlinson and Josh Johnson have been battling for my favorite comedian spot for years now, so it's fun to see.
That was the funniest segment so far.
"I wish thah wath ah eaziah wah to luhn Spaanush!"
I loved Josh Johnson from his old Catfishing the KKK bit, and when I saw the first episode of After Midnight I immediately said I wish he were on here. And here he is! Glad to have him.
You NEED to subscribe to his youtube channel. He generates an incredible amount of brand new material every week.
“Are those….
…..klan ribs?”
(:
That Kerry Washington clip 😭😭😂😂
This might be the strongest panel yet, absolutely killing it!
LITERALLY TWO OF MY FAVORITES I DIDNT EVER EXPECT THEM TOGETHER LOL
This is the first time I've seen or heard Josh Johnson. His answers are brilliant and hilarious. I'll have to check out his standup.
You must look up "Josh Johnson Three Things". It's amazing!
Brilliant comedy. Smart, too.
Look up his appearances on Conan
He’s written for a few shows, then during the pandemic, he did some videos with Dulce Sloan, but he’s been killing it with his weekly standup clips.
OMG! That Kerry Washington clip...
i had to rewind it to make sure for myself!!!!
i’m so happy every time i see josh johnson doing something. he deserves so much success
1. Love this is awesome. Love the guests and the vibe. 2. I feel like Tomlinson has the skill to host without needing the conceit of the game show and would CRUSH just vibing on the couch with the guests for a segment like the British talk show with Graham Norton. Or the irreverent one on ones like Craig Ferguson.
(Also commenting for the algorithm.)
Yeah maybe it'll grow into that in a few years but I'd like to see how far they can take this concept
I agree wholeheartedly. It was big news to me when I found out she was hosting. I was so happy. It's refreshing to have a show like this on with the good vibes. Not everyone can pull off late night. Proud fan of Taylor!
This was a fantastic guest lineup. On Colbert tonight, too! Too much entertainment!!
❤
Yep 8 was thinking the same thing! Can you imagine how hilarious they would all be just talking?
More chatting, some gaming when it slows down. That would be perfect.
Man. Whoever captioned this...did their best, I'm sure.
This was the best episode so far. Feels like something was really clicking. The comedians were all top notch.
Omg! The VHS clip with the clown and the little boy was Grandpas Magical Toys and it was one of my FAVORITE movies as a kid!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU so much for telling us! lol, I instantly knew I used to watch that movie but couldn't remember the name, so I came to search the comments hoping someone would say what it was called
"i think your fridends have "feel good" mixed up with "get high"" damn i wasnt expecting to get attacked lmfao
'Any fool can get high.... And I PITY THE FOOL! '
Josh Johnson is America's most underused resource
Oh God, I laughed so hard at the VHS segment that I got a stomachache 🤣
Hooray for VHS tapes!
I didn't know any survived, that's cool as long as it doesn't eat the tape...
Doug Benson clearly needs someone to explain "Original Sin" to him like he's 5. Because I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what it means. That prompt had a lot of hilarious potential but he sort of fumbled around about movies.
The subtler joke was knowing what original sin is as a Caucasian fellow and doing the I'll tell you when you are older and never telling you
LOOOOVE Atsuko & Josh!!! Some of my faves in the game
Josh and Taylor are Genuinely my favorite comedians.
ive never been so happy than watching the VHS segment. FREAKING. GOLD.
📣Josh Johnson! I'm here for it! ❤️
I was unsure about the format of this show at first but I'm absolutely sold now. They've had a great line of guests so far.
So happy to see Doug Benson back on this show (I know it's the first week)...his wit is so snappy.
I haven't seen Doug in a minute - I thought he was The Dude!
For Real, once i heard him talk, hey i know that stoner/OG @midnight comedian, glad hes on the successor of it :)
Is Doug... Okay?
@@guaposneeze Doug looks totally different
I MISSED this show! I’m soo glad it got rebooted ❤
I know had to rewatch the video because the existance of that combo blew my mind.
This is brilliant. I hope Taylor goes full Leather Jacket (literally and metaphorically).
This was one of the best games so far this week. Hope you bring this one back!
Taylor is way too talented for a gaming show like this! Please give her more freedom to interact and if so I would love a show by Taylor and josh
Josh johnson and Taylor are legendary ❤
He shouldn't have trouble explaining it to a 5 year old,he was probably right around that age in 2008 😂
He would have been 17/18. He was born in 1990
Bruh. Josh is only 1 year younger than I am. I was in college in 2008 😂
After watching this for a week I only want two things. For them to sit down in a panel format (much more relaxed atmosphere and conversation can flow) and more Taylor talking/doing more jokes.
Y'all just don't get it
Directions unclear. I’m skateboarding to heaven while on my ninth take eating these eggs.
That third one made me feel like we’ll be seeing it again on som e video called “That one didn’t age so well”
One and a half minutes in, first time seeing this show, and I love it already! And yes, the hoodie blazer is now the new business look!
I don't think Doug Benson knows what "original sin" is.
i think the only sin he knows is smoking pot before every show
Agree. He had no idea whatsoever but played it off well.
Or maybe he's a comedian and knows it's funnier to have a different take on something
I wish she had gotten an actual talk show and i wasn't a fan at first but its growing on me, she seems to be getting more comfortable too which is great.
Two of my fav young comedians!
Josh is hilarious!!!
Listen, “Grandpa’s Magical Toys” was one of the weirder ones in the Wee Sing series, but they are all wayyyy better than those weird RUclips baby-oriented “Johnny Johnny” cartoons.
here for josh johnson!
I had never heard of this show, but checked it out because of Taylor Tomlinson.
I like the explain it to me segment
My favorite guest panel so far!
Doug .. is that you ?? Wow it’s been a min since I ve seen him always loved his comedy styling!! I’m loving the premise of this show so much , stand up is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and featuring all these comics is the Best !! And I agree with all the comments about Taylor having some sit down couch time with theses guests too she would rock that as well as these fun games !!
Love Josh!!!!
I would love to see Kevin James Thornton on here. So many ‘it was the 90’s’ moments 😄
Side note who the fuck made Kerry eat an egg for a job 🤢
Somebody with big huevos.
GIVE JOSH THE DAILY SHOW
YES!
At least they credited reddit for the stolen bit. Also Doug.. when did you turn into a guy from the 70s? VHS cassettes? They're tapes.
Please never let Doug talk to your children 😂
Josh needs more exposure! PLEASE!
Wow Doug Benson and Josh Johnson in the same ep!
Love Taylor and Atsuka! and so hyped to see them onscreen together
0:59 That made me smile
Fr
Explain it like I’m 5ish: Go ask your mother.
🙄 you okay over there? I'm sure you'll be just fine with this outcome.
Atsuko is friggin hilarious!
Omg I want to see both of them, I was on vacation when she came around & Josh I haven’t seen him go further west
Atsuko absolutely ruined me with that closer 😂😂😂😂
how i imagine this show got made....and how Doug Benson get let into the building:
CEO's waiting for their dealer (Doug Benson): Chris Hardwick's show was great! we need that to fill out late night spot.....but he got cancelled once, and after the whole James Cordon thing i think we really need someone who X likes.
(enter Doug Benson): hey, i overheard your problem....one of my other clients is blowing up on tiktok right now because she has actual jokes instead of just crowd work. she can crowd work too, but she has actual jokes! she's perfect as Chris Hardwick without the baggage.
This panel is great. 😂 Atsuko, I'm a new fan, Josh and Doug were brilliant. And Taylor is the reason I've been watching. So good 👍 😂
I'm here for Josh Johnson!
It took me literally until he said his own name to realize that that is Doug Benson! His hair threw me completely off 😂
another banger segment
Explaining stuff to tykes is a skill even teachers find allusive. Comedy works well on the smart ones.😁👍
feels sort of like a modern day Whose Line
I wish they showed us the actual ending to those VHSs
I'd particularly like to know what the original tape with the Clown was about...
@@TheGodExperimentsit’s a clip from a video called Wee Sing grandpa’s magical toys. It’s about a trio of kids who get magically shrunk down to the size of toys and the toys come to life and sing songs. It’s aimed at 5 to 7-year-olds. I grew up watching that tape.
@@violinist456 I was looking through the comments to find someone else that watched that growing up, it was part of my childhood
I was wondering if anyone else would recognize that one! 🤣
@@violinist456yes I actually watched this lol his name was Punchinello and then they go into the song. But yes the whole movie gave off that vibe 😂
Taylor: Explain original sin
Doug: ...I'd like to phone a friend
Taylor: Unless your friend is a Catholic priest, good luck.
Doug Benson looks like he went through a Groundhog Day scenario, during the pandemic.
Josh Johnson will make me watch anything. I'll have to catch this full episode... where is it streamed again?
Ajar knew about Josh, but Atsuko seems really talented and I d never heard of her!❤
She is amazing!
I love it when they get dark.
Loving atsuko, I’ve never seen her before!
Didn't even recognize Doug until he started talking. Hair is looking real nice.
This show just gets better each time. Comedians FTW
I didn't even recognize Doug Benson!
I didn't either lol
same here, NGL he looks younger with this clothing@@thedrizzle619
I didn't either. Then I Googled, and thought, ohhhhhh, that's what a few more years of getting high does to you.
Please get Taylor on Lower Decks!
The way to describe original sin to a 5-year-old would believe it
Whoa, I didn't recognize Doug Benson until he started speaking!
Explain it like I'm 5 is the BEST GAME!
I'd be shocked if this show in this form makes it the whole year
Holy hell Doug is unrecognizable. Still looks like he'd come to my store to look at all my papers and glassware.
This is great
It's refreshing to see a comedy talk show that isn't saturated in political turmoil. We get enough of that from literally everything else; it's nice to just laugh.
THAT THIRD ONE WAS MY FAVORITE MOVIE AS A KID!😮🤡🤦🏼♀️
