You will never ever see it. They take out the funny stuff because it might offend some obese influencer who will tweet about it.
I'm so glad she said she does standup on weekends. I watched her last Netflix special and was so impressed that watching After Midnight is like watching Alex Honnold climb in a gym with a rope. It's a funny show and it works well, but I'm glad she prioritizes her standup.
Taylor is doing an amazing job hosting After Midnight. We used to watch the first version sporadically but with After Midnight we watch it daily as part of our routine. Love Taylor and Conan. Conan has a good gauge of bringing comedians in.
I was expecting "After Midnight (Taylor's Version)" a swiftly executed personal expression of everything which is Ms. Tomlinson. ♥

I'm starting to feel like a real Oldie Olsen now. I've heard of her before, but barely. She seems like a true talent!
The age of talk shows ended with the rise of podcasts. Most talk shows kind of follow a rigid structure where the guest is expected to have an anecdote ready & the talk show host is meant to bring that up along with promoting whatever project their guest is there to promote. Conan was always a great host due to his unpredictable sense of humor as was Craig Ferguson who preceded James Corden who was replaced by Taylor Tomlinson ofcourse. Craig was funny, silly, flirty and unpredictable (just like Conan). Some of the stuff though from their times wouldn't really fly with today's cultures & standards so I like the new direction where the future of late night is headed. This new show is a panel show similar to lot of the british panel/game shows that I've begun enjoying watching on KZread since the start of the pandemic. Shows like 8 out of 10 cats, Cats does countdown, Taskmaster, and numerous others. These become avenues to promote talent more than their projects. Been seeing lot of new (and old but less known) standups, comedy actors, and writers getting a chance to shine in the public limelight. They get a chance to be original & funny and come up with something on the spot rather than tell the same stories & anecdotes that they've sharing throughout their entire press circuit.
I hope Taylor gets all the success she deserves, but the most important thing - thanks for recognizing those of us who work from the supermarket.
This is great 👍 👌 😂😂😂
Wish they show this on television
Conan como to Medellín Colombia, I will be your friend. I love your comedy.
I watched every single episode of @Midnight, and I have watched almost everyone of the new version (I'm about a week behind) and its objectively better in the new version, and not just because of Taylor, but she's a far funnier host than Chris was (ignoring all controversies)
#TaylorTomlinson always appears casually beautiful.

Honestly I thought it was going to be a talk show as well, then I watched it and it was a game show instead. Still really good.
My initial reaction to the show was that I love Taylor's standup but I have no interest in talk shows. It wasn't until I saw highlights of the first episode on KZread that I realized it wasn't a talk show at all, but rather a very obvious reboot of arguably my favorite Comedy Central show of the 2010s, @Midnight. So then I was just kind of mad that they didn't lean into that during all of the promotion because that's exactly what I wanted the whole time anyway: One of my favorite shows hosted by one of my favorite standups.

I've been consuming a lot of Conan lately, and without realizing it, I started making self-deprecating jokes like he does. However, I notice that people don't find it as funny. I thought it was because I'm just completely unfunny, but then I remembered, Conan makes self-deprecating jokes and everyone laughs, because Conan is actually a successful comedian and genuinely cool person. On the other hand, at this moment I'm really screwed. Then I realized, when it's true, it's not funny; it's just sad :)

I like her, but her show is just lame and dated. It is just another version of shows they were doing on Comedy Central 20 years ago, where the comedians know the questions ahead of time in order to craft their “funny” replies.

I only watched the first episode since that's the only one available in Europe, but I instantly felt that she was far funnier on her own than what the show was. I'm sure if they just got rid of the teleprompters and allowed her and the guests to improvise more, it would feel less manufactured and be a lot more entertaining.
How did you prep? You are better than that show! All they have you do is read from a teleprompter.
i'll be honest, i adore Taylor as a standup comedian, but her fake quiz show is pretty bad. I mean maybe i'm too old to get the jokes but the fake laughs it's what really gets me
She reminds me of Amy Schumer but with a more blasé personality.
Taylor Tomlinson would be a very good talkshow host. Defitnetly better than Ellen Degenerate.
It feels like she's wisely distancing herself from the show. Which is good. The writing on that show is *terrible*.

Seems like a wasted opportunity. I understand where she's coming from, but completely disassociating from the work she does on the show, doesn't make me want to watch it or feel like I should care. The host doesn't care. Doesn't feel like she is part of it. Doesn't feel like she is putting her voice out there. It is just a generic game show, after midnight, made by CBS studio executives, and so says the host. Why would I watch that? And I was really, really looking forward to her as a late night host. And that is the impression I got from the last episode, that she would be a late night host.

@@jaywinner328 she trailed it as a talk show on Colbert months ago, on the previous Conan podcast. 99% of comments were positive and looking forward to watching her host. What it was, and is, is a very subpar gameshow that disappointed most of the excited and willing audience. Just look at the comments and numbers as the show went on. And this video alone, they address it, it is damage control. They are saying "nooo noo it was never meant to be a talk show, how on earth did people get THAT impression. I don't even work there really, not even Monday through Thursday. I don't do the jokes, I don't choose what I wear." And then watch the pilot episode. The jokes are about the face this isn't what she would ideally like to be doing, that TV is dead, and that no one is likely watching it if people aren't watching the Emmys even. Maybe people would watch if it was a talk show? Yknow, the thing that people, and her fans most importantly, seemed excited about?
