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.

    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.

    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.

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.
