In just two broadcast seasons, CBS has opted to terminate “After Midnight”, the late-night game show hosted by comedian Taylor Tomlinson. This program made its debut in January 2024 and was designed as a substitute for The Late Late Show with James Corden at the 12:35 a.m. time slot. Regrettably, it will air its last episode in June 2025.
Here are further details on why she left the CBS show, what comedian is going to do next and more.
Taylor Tomlinson leaves After Midnight after CBS cancels show
Taylor Tomlinson’s CBS series, “After Midnight,” has recently been among the late-night programs that have been taken off the air. As more young viewers opt for streaming and customizable content, conventional late-night shows are experiencing a decrease in viewership and subsequent budget reductions.
It’s been said that “The Late Late Show with James Corden” was among CBS shows potentially dropped because of its high production expenses. On the other hand, NBC made adjustments such as trimming down “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to four days a week and eliminating the band from “Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Although late-night talk show hosts such as Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Colbert continue to attract viewers, the longevity of this format is questionable. For comedians like Tomlinson, however, the freedom of stand-up comedy provides an appealing alternative.
In much the same way, Tomlinson candidly shared her challenge in juggling her work on After Midnight with her stand-up career. She admitted, “I’m performing fewer stand-up shows than I used to [before hosting After Midnight]. For years, I was touring three weekends a month, so making this decision to take on this job and accept that I would need to scale back a bit was a tough choice for me.
The comedian also emphasized, “I made it quite clear during the hiring process that this wouldn’t be my top priority. In other words, ‘stand-up comedy is my primary passion, and if I can balance it with this show, I’d be delighted to do so'” (as reported by Variety).
Now, with After Midnight cancelled, Tomlinson is planning on focusing on her stand-up.
