Please start every show this way from now on. Love integrating elements of Taylor interacting with the audience and doing stand up-esque elements, with the core game show.
Please no, it was so long and boring I actually forgot why I clicked 😭 and I liked the show before. I love Taylor, but there's nothing more boring than talking about "the internet" and "trends" like, it's like talking about the weather. Ppl who know the trend/gossip are sick of it, ppl who don't don't care
Kudos. You finally found the format, more Taylor. She's one of the best comics working, and she was woefully underused. Adding a monologue section is a perfect way to address that.
Keep the Taylor warmup/Introductions, ditch the "have the contestants read their own submissions" at the end. Format still is working like a well oiled machine.
So this is now the 3rd version of opening and I have to say, I like it the best. Taylor is a great stand-up and having this opening monologue lets her continue that work and make it appear more "talk show" than late night "fake game show". She really done great in the evolution of the show and has had some really great moments!
I _LOVED_ this. Taylor's skills have been shockingly underused on this show until now. Also, it was only a couple of hours ago that I first saw her 15-minute set from 2018 on Netflix's _The Comedy Lineup,_ so I really feel like I got a double feature.
EXCELLENT beginning. Like a monologue but more like the after the cut from the daily show where you get so much more of the host, and Taylor has so much to give.
And this is why my theory all along is that this will slowly transition from a Game Show to a Talk show - they just wanted to give Taylor some time to get comfortable
#TaylorTomlinson #AfterMidnight #Comedy This was unexpected and a great way to start the show! It was like watching her standup and she was engaging with the audience. She had excellent banter with them and she became enthusiastic from their responses. You go #TaylorTomlinson! #tinycouch #tinycouch #tinycouch
Taylor is good about repeating/summarizing what audience members say when she does crowd work, so captions aren't strictly necessary. I can see how they'd make things smoother.
looks like the producers saw her talk about begrudgingly wearing heels and not expecting to be out from the podium much, and were like, Ok Then, Taylor!
I love this soo much, cause we were promised a talk show, but got a game show. For a lot of people that would have been it but Taylor fought her way up and you can see more and more talk show components emerging in the show. Best part? The game show segment actually makes it feel different from all the other late shows. Here is to continued success!
You were NOT promised a talk show. It was never marketed as a talk show, it was a "late night show" - obviously it was always intended to be an @midnight reboot. Wires got crossed because "late night shows" are associated with talk shows, so that's what everyone else ran with. This narrative that Taylor secretly wanted a talk show but was denied is complete nonsense - she's a comedian, it makes perfect sense that she wanted @midnight to come back and fill that void, since it was a really important show for that industry.
"You may know him as the inscrutable feeling of discontent and confusion, all the way from the endless void outside of real space and time, plague bringer of the river valley, it's Amon-Set!"
Taylor Tomlinson crowdwork, monologue and reaction improvs. Got my vote every time.
This is how they should start the show from now on.
Disagree. Game show
I actually agree, this is how they should open the show. Most of us wanted Taylor to have a space to actually make us laugh herself
Please start every show this way from now on. Love integrating elements of Taylor interacting with the audience and doing stand up-esque elements, with the core game show.
Totes. I like Taylor's crowd work.

Love that you're including her comedy style at the beginning of the show. She's so good at reacting to the crowd's answers
Kudos. You finally found the format, more Taylor.
She's one of the best comics working, and she was woefully underused.
Adding a monologue section is a perfect way to address that.
Yes!! Taylor's interactions with the crowd!
The pre-game Taylor standup is great, hope to see more of this going forward
Keep the Taylor warmup/Introductions, ditch the "have the contestants read their own submissions" at the end. Format still is working like a well oiled machine.
wholeheartedly agree; Taylor can work a crowd and more Taylor can only be a good thing, but why screw around with anything else if it's working fine
agreed!
But they need to keep the Tiny Couch for the Talk Show Portion!
I loved the monologue, talking to the audience. That's a great way to start the show. Taylor is a great talent!
GREAT way to start the show, keep doing that. Really nailed this format
So this is now the 3rd version of opening and I have to say, I like it the best. Taylor is a great stand-up and having this opening monologue lets her continue that work and make it appear more "talk show" than late night "fake game show". She really done great in the evolution of the show and has had some really great moments!
Before or after was SO quick. She's amazing.
What does it mean?
@kalvincarld It means "before or after Bill Clinton's extremely infamous scandal".
OMG. Just when I thought I loved this show, you gave me a monologue and crowd work!! Keep it up. More and more.
Holy shit! Taylor and crowd work every damn time please!!!!
I think Carol Burnett proved that crowd work before a show was fundamental to its success. Count me in for starting the show with this from now on.
This is great! Taylor getting to do the things where she truly shines!
Love the new introduction. Let Taylor do her thing
I _LOVED_ this. Taylor's skills have been shockingly underused on this show until now.
Also, it was only a couple of hours ago that I first saw her 15-minute set from 2018 on Netflix's _The Comedy Lineup,_ so I really feel like I got a double feature.
THIS is how this show should be.
Lovely to see that this show is forming more around Taylor 🧡 It’s like seeing Seth Meyers finally decide to sit down during his monologues
YES! More from Taylor. This works.
This is a fun evolution for the show :D
Taylor i hope you see this.
I really love this Graham Norton style of beginning monologue before introducing guests.
Every late night show should open with a monologue I'm glad Taylor is doing them now
I love this SO much more than Group Chat.
I feel like Group Chat was incorporated well into this format. You can see its heritage in the monologue.
@@AdrianColley totally agree
Why not both?
@@AdrianColley exactly! They finally let it form to her best talents and the transition is smokin' hot! 🔥 late night show evolution at its finest 🤌
I can‘t unsee the floating square🤣
MONOLOGUE!❤
More Taylor! Best idea ever.
This is great. This is Taylor standup. She's good. The crowd work is good.
Loving this! I thought the game show format was a bit long for an hour. This is a perfect way to start the show.
I really liked the monologue/crowd work but half an hour is too short for the game show part
Yes, THIS is what we all wanted when Taylor Tomlinson got a late night show. Keep it up!
ATTN: AFTER MIDNIGHT PRODUCERS. WE LIKE THIS NEW CHANGE. PLEASE KEEP IT. DON’T SCREW THIS UP. THANK YOU. Sincerely, the World.
Love the opening monologue format.
Taylor is a natural at crowd work!
I am also voicing my appreciation of the new monologue/crowd work!
I like this, it's what Taylor is good at, kinda stand-up style.
It is what she has worked hardest at so far, but she's still young, and who knows what else she will master?
Can we talk about how Rory Scovel looks a lot like Graham Chapman in Monty Python and the Life of Brian ?
Absolute perfection, the intro, the monolouge, the crowd exchange. Keep it. ...I love it ALL! Thanks 😊
Love the monologue! Great way to start the show! Love the comedians making an entrance.
Love the new opening format!
BENDELA CREME!!!!! I'm so happy to see her here 💖❤️ bob the drag queen next please
Taylor’s crowd work is incredible. It is a masterclass
Love this new format! I think including her stand up strength is PERFECTION for this show 💯
More of this please!!
I like the monologue! Nice job, Taylor!
De La is a legend. love her being here!
I saw Taylor at my college and she is so amazing!
A nibble of crowdwork like this should always be in the videos!
I like this intro. It was great seeing Taylor warm up her own crowd.
EXCELLENT beginning. Like a monologue but more like the after the cut from the daily show where you get so much more of the host, and Taylor has so much to give.
Been watching a while. This was a good left turn. Took a sec. Let the lady do her thing! Love it
Can this be a monday staple? Love the idea
Oh neat, I hope they keep showing monologue! That was nice see Taylor's standup.
Yasss finally making use of Taylor’s talent for crowd work!!
So good to have Taylor doing what she does best
The monologue really tied the show together 😎
"We're not a talk show."
"Let's start every show with a monologue now."
And this is why my theory all along is that this will slowly transition from a Game Show to a Talk show - they just wanted to give Taylor some time to get comfortable
So long as there's always a Game Show Portion, it will be fine.
Love the opening monologue!! Perfect timing to introduce it, keep up the good work 💪🏻
I like the new intro format
Jojo Siwa: IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE, MOM!
we need full episodes on here, this show is pure gold.
S tier crowdwork! 💯 💯 💯
Taylor kills it, this show is really great.
FINALLY a monologue and crowdwork! I was really hoping for this.
seven minute monologue! This is now officially a real talk show
This is fantastic! Does Taylor do a monologue before each show? These need to be on RUclips along with the rest of the clips!
Was this new or do they just not put that intro onto RUclips normally. Love it! More Taylor!!
Great intro with Taylor! Please keep!
This was great, that's what this was missing was a monologue. great job Taylor, I'm glad you didn't talk about the orange Voldemort
Yes on Taylor getting a monologue!! This is why we watch!!
Love the crowd work.
I love Harvey! This whole panel is fantastic
That pop for Bendela!
Super love this start. Let Taylor show her crowd work prowess.
Love the new format, great monologue, guest introduction is more effective too.
Theres a monologue portion?
Surprise opening stand-up?!! More please!
Please, PLEASE, don't tell me you've been depriving us of her opening monologue for the entire run of this show up to now. 😭
A Giant YES to the opening monologue!!!
Keep this format! We love it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
#TaylorTomlinson #AfterMidnight #Comedy This was unexpected and a great way to start the show! It was like watching her standup and she was engaging with the audience. She had excellent banter with them and she became enthusiastic from their responses. You go #TaylorTomlinson! #tinycouch #tinycouch #tinycouch
Loved this new start, hope you do it more often
👏👏👏 this has my vote, gives us more of why we love Taylor! This is a great Starr
This is a monologue audition for a “regular” talk show. I support it, but of course I don’t want her to stop hosting these crazy games!
Love it! maybe give us captions of what the audience members are saying on the next one? TYSM 😊🥰😙
Taylor is good about repeating/summarizing what audience members say when she does crowd work, so captions aren't strictly necessary. I can see how they'd make things smoother.
This opening was great.
Oh wow they gave Taylor a monologue! Cool!
Also, which Seinfeld company was it? Vandelay Industries? Kramerica?
De La looks gorgeous ❤❤❤
love the new intro segment!
yes! T-Tom doing what she does best, crowd work!
yassssss crowdwork 👏
Love this new open!
looks like the producers saw her talk about begrudgingly wearing heels and not expecting to be out from the podium much, and were like, Ok Then, Taylor!
Agree with others loving the interactive monologue
Taylor is preparing to conquer late night talk show with this tee up
I love this, and Taylor should be proud of not getting suckered into taking on massive, unnecessary debt.
9:15 How about indictment papers?
I love this soo much, cause we were promised a talk show, but got a game show. For a lot of people that would have been it but Taylor fought her way up and you can see more and more talk show components emerging in the show. Best part?

I don't really mind that it isn't a talk show. It's a panel show, which is always more interesting.
Crowd work opener BEST OPENER💯 Any excuse to watch TayTay improv✅
Riffing with the audience has always been Taylor's best act.
"You may know him as the inscrutable feeling of discontent and confusion, all the way from the endless void outside of real space and time, plague bringer of the river valley, it's Amon-Set!"
OK, that made me laugh out loud.
