Meet Taylor Tomlinson, late-night comedy's newest host
There's a new face in late-night television: comedian Taylor Tomlinson, who will soon host "After Midnight," a new series on CBS and Paramount+ produced by Stephen Colbert. Correspondent Luke Burbank talks with the 30-year-old Tomlinson about her unusual career trajectory; her Netflix comedy specials; and about conjuring comedy out of grief, social anxiety, and mental health issues.

I'm just hoping we don't lose her standup comedy because of her new show. She is about as funny and articulate as they come as comedians. Metaphor, simile, tempo, style, analogy, the physicality and acting. Her standup has it all, and it's ALL done VERY well. Good luck, Taylor.

She signed a deal for two more Netflix specials last year and she's said the stand-up isn't going away. 😄

Late night is where comedy goes to die. It’s the old folks home for comedians. I don’t see how she can do a daily late night show and still hit the clubs and tour to work on material for those new specials. It’s good money though, so good for her.

She won't be able to use her customarily colorful language on TV, so I'm pretty sure she'll continue the standup as an outlet at a minimum.
I hope her show does well. She'll be a much-needed breath of fresh air for late night TV.
I absolutely adore her. She is real, honest, humble, smart, beautiful.
Taylor's Golden ticket is her delivery. I laugh at her jokes over and over even though I can say them with her, because her facial expressions are incredible. She'll do fine as a host, no problem, because of her acting.

Right. Her delivery is also singular & has been rehearsed a 1000x. It’s very different when there are 2+ people involved cuz it can be so unpredictable. I wonder how she’ll do in interviews, day in & day out, especially since that’s her Achilles heel.

His name is mud now but that was the secret to Bill Cosby and his stand up. Most of the stuff he said in his standup was not that funny. It was his delivery and facial expressions that made it funny. Can't believe that guy turned out to have always been a complete POS.
Been following her for a few years. So happy for her success.
She is just 30, that makes her younger than when Connan took over Late Night from Letterman. Very impressive.

Interesting to hear her thoughts on being an introvert - I imagine that's why her work is so insightful, and how she can capture the heart of a difficult topic and turn it into something that brings people together. So looking forward to the new show!
She's a total natural at it. Saw her back in the fall and she was superb. So glad to see her success.
I wish Taylor all the best! She is hilarious and deserves all the good coming her way!
Taylor Tomlinson’s openness is inspirational to anyone who has had to witness a friend or family member dealing with someone with bipolar disorder or any serious mental illness. I’m hoping her ability to talk about her experiences in such an open way will help thousands of people who need therapy to get it.
Glad to see she’s getting her own show. She makes me laugh and that’s no easy chore. All the best.
Colbert chose wisely! ❤ so stoked to see this

I love her. She's one of the best comics out there. I Hope her late late show does very well. She is just adorable it has that likability factor so I think it will.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stumbled upon Taylor's second Netflix special sometime in 2023 loved it and went and watch the first right after. I've been a fan ever since, got to see her live in person as well which was a blast. Some people just make you feel like they deserve success and happiness and she is one of them. Can't wait to check out the late night show and the new netflix special
She seems to be a genuinely nice person despite her drive for success, and that is a rare combination.
Cannot wait to see her new show❤
She is intelligent, open and honest and funny as hell so I will be watching her show! If it does not work- it is NOT her - it is the hellscape we call this country and the people without a sense of humor - especially direct, sarcastic and dark humor. However, she will succeed no matter the vehicle of delivering her sense of humor :)

She is hilarious and absolutely adorable. Never heard of her until I saw her first two specials on Netflix, then she instantly became one of my favorites. Cannot wait to see more from her!
@TaylorTomlinson your comedy is quite literally my entire inner monologue!! Thanks for giving my inner thoughts a voice!! #IfYoureOkayImOkay😂😅😮❤❤❤
So excited for Taylor's show!
The difficulty dealing with one-on-one interviews, etc… you’re still learning, still young, still moving forward. So much forward.❤
So looking forward to her show! Haven’t watched any late-night show since Letterman, she has a great presence and should be a big success.
I've been following her standup and all that since I saw her on tour with Conan in 2018. Can't wait for the new show!
She is such a quick comedian and her joke structure is great her delivery is perfect and she’s a great writer
I have followed her for years; she is one of the few comedians out there who are actually funny. Her Netflix specials never disappoint, and I would LOVE to see a back-and-forth conversation between her and Bill Burr.
I looooooove her! Super excited for her show! Best of luck Taylor!!
Looking forward to this show. Break a leg Taylor!!
Wild to see her shorts on here 2-3 years ago and now she’s here. She never stopped working hard. So glad she found her next chapter. Can’t wait to see what’s next :)
If you are an introvert, it's a very fine line to walk. I know! If you don't give yourself enough alone time and down time you will start to go crazy by what feeds you the most not being around so much weird energy

A lot of comics are probably introverts. Johnny Carson was highly introverted and very uncomfortable off stage.
I love her because she has a great way of looking at life. A Spoon full of Humor helps the Medacin go down.😁
I am so pumped up about this show. She is so great.
Wishing her the best of luck and congrats on your show!
love her. hope the show is everything she wants it to be.
Taylor is a Legend - I believe in comedy again now thanks to Taylor
One of my favorite new artists in comedy! 🌟😄🎉
I'm so excited and happy for Taylor I'm so watching her new show I can't wait!!!!!!!! You're an inspiration and comedy is art.
She's a talented woman. I wish her all the success she's worked so hard for.
so sweet somebody with such tragedy in her life, Mom dying young, can be nice and share herself in a fun and funny heartful way. ❤
Taylor has has that “It” factor- someone you want to be friends with and is very talented. Can’t wait to see her show❤
I'm really rooting for Taylor. I've been following her comedy for a while now and I hope Hollywood doesn't put her thru the grinder.
I love Taylor's comedy. I hope her new show does well. I will watch. :D

Good for her, she's great.
Funny and insightful. Just found her today on KZread
Hope there is a live audience when she has interaction with the audience its really funny. Good luck Taylor us youtubers love you.
I love her.
We are rooting for you Taylor! Best in 2024! You got this!
Can’t wait
She's a gem.
She's great and I'm excited to see her show because I love her as a standup. Like most people here, I hope she continues to do standup... although I would imagine that having a late night show wouldn't leave much time for writing a new special. Either way, I really hope she's successful and flourishes as a late night host and interviewer. Standup will always be there, but she deserves the time and support to find her footing in this new role. Here's to hoping she eventually becomes the first permanent female host of the Tonight Show.
Haha, I'm the opposite. I used to be a social butterfly up until my early 30s. Always the first one to a party and one of the last to leave. Now I'm in my 40s and I'm trying to get rid of people in my life haha.
I adore this woman! She's brilliant and beautiful, my favorite right now! Find my self scourging the internet for more content with her! Hence how I ended up here! 😂
Good job Luke. I like you both.
